For someone who hates walking around in a new city carrying cumbersome folding maps, Knopf MapGuide is just the ticket. Map sections are easy to read. I wish though the designers could have found room for separate maps for metro, buses, and trams.
A must

This series of city gudes are wonderful for any traveler. They are handy and small enough to fit in a pocket. They provide useful information at a glance.
Excellent truly "pocket" guide

If you are making a trip to Vienna, half of the fun is the anticipation and reading a full length guidebook such as the Eyewitness Vienna Guide will help your planning. But once you are there, you can't beat the Knopf CityMap Guide. It has a fold-out format that you can hold in your hand (not like a folding map that you hold in your arms like a newspaper). The Guide highlights the important tourist sites and locates them on the maps. This helps you plan a day or half-day of sight-seeing in the same part of town. The restaurant recommendations are good, and again, you save running all over town--you look up what is near where you are. I'd count this as indispensible for a Vienna vacation.
