Pros: Beautiful Buildings, great Coffee and cakes. Cons: More than a tad expensive. Dislike Opera? - Vienna isn't the place to go.

Pros: Great museums, plenty of gelato. Cons: Significant travel time from core European countries. Smokey cafes.
Vienna is described in many travel books as 'the Easternmost of the Western European countries...' I think this is actually a pretty fair description. My wife and I spent three nights there, toured several museums, and enjoying local restaurants.

Pros: Very clean Cons: Too many to list here: see review
