Perfect if you are planning a "normal" trip (a month or less) The best description of the book is captured in the introduction of the book itself: "If you plan a month or less in this region and have a normal appetite for information, this book is all you need". That is absolutely true, and very likely even if you spend more time than a month.

A must have for Germany/Austria Rick Steve's does an amazing job with these countries. We spent time in Munich, Salzburg and Vienna and used this book for each city and for stops in between (we had a car). His suggestions we spot on and had all the things that you should do with all the insider tips. I would now buy any of his books for any other place I travel to in Europe. He does a great job with giving some history, but not too wordy. You should buy this book! Happy travels.
Rick Steve's Germany & Austria 2008 Just got back from Oktoberfest in Germany. This book is invaluable to the traveler that wants to travel on their own. We used this book like a bible. I've been to Europe several times and have always use Rick's books and they really do come in handy.
rick steves' does it again While we've not travelled yet...this book is full of helpful routes...places to see and to miss. Places to stay, good info on things to do, what to eat and where. We've used the internet to view areas that Rick mentions with the Trip Advisor and 9 out 10 times he's right on it.
