Clean and easy to use interface

The application brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Austrian capital city and there are not many elements of design that could pass as attractive.

The navigation on the map has a quite fluent feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the aerial and road views. Nonetheless, there is a slight delay that occurs when the app starts, as it takes a while to load all the data.

Search for the places to see and identify them in two ways

The application allows you to check out the landmarks in Vienna's area by browsing the complete list of places it has in store. To activate it you just have to tap the corresponding button from the main menu placed in the lower side of the screen.

Alternately, you have the possibility to view the exact location on the map and tap the number on the markers to reveal the names of those spots.

In-depth descriptions for each location

Vienna Guide displays a good deal of details concerning any of the entries on the list of places or when you make a selection from the map shown inside the main screen. The data is taken from one of the most reliable online sources out there, Wikipedia.
