Opis

It has been said there are a hundred ways to Rome, and though Vienna may not boast of an equal number, still some thirty routes (to say nothing of combination tours) are open to puzzle the tourist. In the multitude of counsellors there may possibly be wisdom, but in a multiplicity of routes there must of necessity be confusion, therefore we propose to our readers a choice of four, from the two hours of sea-sickness between Calais and Dover to the long sea voyage vid Hamburg, allowing them the intermediate alternative of Rotterdam or Antwerp. Not only will this Guide be a cicerone to the places which they will either rest at or pass en route, but once at their journey's end, Vienna, will set before them its sights and amusements, its art treasures and museums, in a manner that may enable them to save alike both time and money. Route the First. - Calais or Ostend, Brussels, Cologne, Frankfort-on-the- Maine, Passau, Vienna. Route the Second. - Calais, Paris, Chalons, Strasbourg, Stuttgart, Munich, Linz, Vienna. Route the Third.- Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna. Route the Fourth.- Harwich, Rotterdam, Emmerich, Cologne, the Rhine to Bingen, Nuernberg, Passau, Vienna. This wonderful reprint of the original published book from 1873 contains upwards of thirty illustrations of the principal buildings and places of interest in Vienna and character sketches of the inhabitants.
