Vienna, Salzburg & Tirol Guidebook
Best ways to improve this book:
Colored tabs might make it easier to use when walking about. Pocket size would be helpful.

Other than what I've listed above, nothing! This book was absolutely necessary to our trip planning. It helped at every step of the way. We made sure to allow time for getting lost, finding our own special sights, and talking to locals. Thank you for continuing to make my European trips overwhelmingly well organized, fun, educational and life changing.

I traveled to Austria this last summer for three months and was really disappointed with the selection of travel information available on the Rick Steves store about Austria. It seems that Vienna, Salzburg, and Hallstatt are really pushed as destinations but there are so many other beautiful places in Austria (not to mention less crowded). I myself was in the south of Austria (Carinthia) near the Italian and Slovenian border and lived with a family that took me to many places (in Austria and Slovenia) really devoid of American tourists. I ended up depending on a Lonely Planet book to help me out but since Rick Steves is local I would really like to see Rick Steves carry more about Austria.

You should make a downloadable app of the guides. So many people travel w/ iPads and/or smart phones it only makes sense. Let me know if I can help

Perhaps add that by car from Munich to Salzburg, you must purchase a vignette to use the toll roads.

When our GPS went kaput, we were relying on the maps in the book. Wish it was a little more detailed. But that is nitpicking on my part as it wasn't Steves fault my GPS went out

Advise travelers to be attentive to the bike lanes in Vienna. I was almost hit twice by speeding bikes while on the walking tours.

PLEASE add if your recommendation is in Vienna, Hallstatt or Salz at the top- I have no idea on these pensions, restaurants, etc and we are only visiting Vienna! This would apply to all other combination destinations as well. Thanks!

Our usual complain is that most estimated times to see a sight especially museums are just far too low. We could probably double Rick's estimate at each museum and still not have enough time. I cannot imagine why you would want to spend a considerable amount of money to just run through and look for 2 highlights, etc... I also noticed that the audioguide time estimates are very off. If you listen to some straight, Rick may estimate 45 minutes and it's actually 1.5 hours, etc... Some examples were the museums at the Hofberg, Mauthausen KZ and Documentation Centre at Obersalzburg.
