Vienna - a charming city

Destinasi kedua trip kami is Vienna, ibu negara kepada Austria. Berbeza dari Salzburg, Vienna ni lebih city-ish lah..dah kata pun the capital kan. Ala ala Key Ell versus Melaka la. From Salzburg to Vienna, we took train which costed around 47.50eu. Fixed price takde online promotion ke ape so we decided to buy the ticket on the spot je. It took about 3 hours train ride and kitorang sampai Vienna dalam pukul 4 petang gitu.


dah penat tido, time to fool around!

We stayed in Hostel Ruthensteiner, tak jauh dari the West Train Station. Quite convenient la dalam 5-8 minit je jalan dari situ. For 14.50eu per pax per nite, ktorang dapat bilik for 3 tapi honestly bilik dia adelah sungguh kecil. Saye cerita dekat emak bilik dia lagi kecik dari bilik saya dulu2 before rumah renovate, dan kami dapat bilik yg ada 1 bunkbed and satu katil single. However we kinda like the hostel. Dia punya common room sangat2 selesa and ada WiFi..and diorg tak kisah kitorang nak lepak berapa lama pun kat situ. That's a 10+ point for the hostel.


terlupa nak amik gambar penuh the room, tapi basically dari kanan pintu tu ada satu meja kecik. kecik je bilik ni ruang antara dua katil memang muat-muattttt untuk sorang semayang.


To travel around Vienna, we bought a 24 hours all pass ticket yg berharga 5.70eu. Since kitorang duduk situ pun sehari cukup2 so memang sangat cun lah kan. Being the typical Europe attraction...Vienna ada banyakkkk bangunan yang cantik-cantik. Sangat bagus utk orang yang appreciate keindahan architecture bangunan-bangunan nih (but not us :P) Daripada area stop Underground Stephansplatz, dekat situ memang ade banyak la tempat tourist spot macam Stephansdom, Hofburg palace and a few museums.


Antara tempat yang kitorang pergi the day we arrived. Sebab kul 4 pun dah malam kan...nasib kamera kesayangan saya punya night picture boleh diharap :P


museum. ampunnn saya lupa nama dia



From WikiTravel : To the traveler, the city has a very convenient layout: The 'old town', or city center, is the first district, with the Stephansdom and Stephansplatz at the centre of a bullseye. It is encircled by the Ringstraße (Ring Road), a grand boulevard constructed along the old city walls, which were torn down at the end of the 19th century. Along the Ringstraße are many famous and grand buildings, including the Rathaus [City Hall], the Austrian Parliament, the Hofburg Palace, the Natural History Museum, the Museum of Art History (Kunsthistorisches Museum), and the State Opera House.

Stephansdom - dia nye theme dia cam gothic2 gitu..tapi dia tengah renovate time kami pergi

and this is just a supermarket..macam Giant, macam Tesco tu :p

Hofburg palace


Antara highlight kitorang nye trip kat Vienna was to play with snow in front of the city hall (sebab kat situ tak ramai sangat orang so tak la nampak jakun sangat :P ) and nasi beriyani super murah! halal! highly recommended! cuma 4.50eu sepinggan! cukup pedas! pemurah ayam! Miahaha tak bergune kan :P I know I know. Lupa nak stresskan yg kitorang nye tema percutian is rest and relax!


weeee.....lihatlah dunia budak jakun niii


the bad thing about snow. jijik sedikit bila nak jalan. kotorrrr and licinnnn


melawat Christmas market yg tak berapa menarik. Jual barang-barang perhiasan Christmas and byk jual wine panas je..



Vienna ni dihiasi dengan banyak bangunan cantik-cantik. Satu yang saya kagumi pasal capital negara Europe ni despite being a big city tapi diorang masih mengekalkan architecture bangunan yang lama-lama. Tak banyak sangat skycrapper buildings yang block the view unlike our beloved Key Ell (correct me if I'm wrong. saya ni memang suke je blog buat gaya confident :P) Tapi Europe adalah Europe. Bile dah banyak negara kita pergi kite akan mula bosan sebab attraction dia adalah sama. By far saya rasa Spain adalah negara kegemaran saya mungkin sebab tarikan sejarah kegemilangan Islam yang pernah bertapak disitu and variety of places of attractions in Spain. I don't mind coming back to Spain in future sebab memang sangat best! :D
