Vienna’s Best Travel Bookshop Stocking English Titles
Freytag & Berndt
For Vienna’s best selection of travel guides and maps in English, head to Freytag & Berndt, near the city center. While the bookshop has a solid collection of books about Vienna, it also offers an impressive and well-organized number of books about other parts of the world, especially Central Europe. The compact top-10-style guides and street maps for nearby cities like Venice and Budapest are especially helpful when planning a day or weekend trip from Vienna. The trail maps and trail books for the Wienerwald (Vienna’s forest) are also highly recommended for getting the most out of a hike and assuring that no one gets lost.
Aside from English titles, the shop stocks travel books and maps in German and a few other languages. Postcards and a small selection of novels and novelty/specialty books are also available. Prices are reasonable. The most convenient way to get to the shop is to take the U3 metro to Herrengasse and walk from there, but the shop is easily accessible by foot from anywhere near the city center.
