We love meandering cities as much or more than Museums. In the past we've used the Walk's Series for Florence and London. There's a different author for each book and they vary in writing style, but they are all chatty, include odd historical details about buildings and places, and take you off the beaten path without requiring transport from the main tourist district. In both places one of those walks turned out to be the highlight of our trip (at least in memory). But the series is getting quite old and in some cases hard to follow on remodeled ground. Also it doesn't cover every city. I see there is a Vienna Walks book but none for Salzburg.
Does anyone have any suggests for gossipy chatty walkers' books for either Vienna or Salzburg? I don't intend them to be a substitute for a guidebook but rather an activity book to fill a lower key quarter day or evening. I'll post in the Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, and England too, but I'm also looking for similar books about Amsterdam, Paris, Prague, and London.
