      Rakousko je země s neobyčejně bohatou kulturou, krásnou přírodou a příjemnými lidmi. Na první pohled je stabilní, blahobytná a v mnoha ohledech konzervativní, takže mnozí turisté jen stěží dokáží uvěřit, že velkou část dvacátého století strávila bojem o svou národní identitu. Svědkem těchto proměn byla samozřejmě také Vídeň, která je hlavním lákadlem většiny turistů, tedy zejména těch, kteří do země míří za památkami a kulturou. Vídeň je město s neobyčejně bohatou historií. Bývalo sídlem Římanů a po relativně krátkém období, kdy se dostalo pod správu Babenberků, přešlo do rukou mocného roku Habsburků, který v dobách největšího rozkvětu ovládal velkou část Evropy. Dvakrát bylo obléháno Turky, obsazeno Napoleonovými vojáky a ve dvacátém století ovládnuto Hitlerem a poničeno spojeneckými letadly. Všechny historické peripetie ale přežilo a dnes je blahobytným velkoměstem s neuvěřitelným množstvím historických památek a bohatým kulturním, ale také rušným společenským životem. 200 stran, 18 map, 28 stran barevné přílohy. 2. doplněné vydání.
