There's much more than chocolate cake and waltzes lurking behind the porticoes of Vienna's sprawling Baroque palaces and in the mezzanines of its elegant 19th-century apartment houses. Time Out Vienna showcases the city's heady history and its contemporary sophistication. The city's signature fin-de-siècle architectural marvels are described in depth, as are the splendors of the Danube waterfront. Informed local writers profile the best of the city's lively restaurant scene, chilled club culture, historic cafés, and restful wine taverns; as well as accommodations for every budget from simple pensiones to historic hotels. With complete coverage of the city's celebration of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 2006, this edition also contains updated maps and rechecked listings, along with new sidebars, photographs, and a culture chapter for context.
