A DAY IN VIENNA (PART 1)

Looking good...
Even though it was 18 degree, the day
was cold! Not like 18 degree in Genting ya..;)
After arriving at Vienna around 11 that morning, we put our baggage at the locker provided at Wien HBF. Price starts from 2 euros. Small locker €2.00, medium €2.50, large €3.50, jumbo size €4.50. U can share with friends.

We hopped on the Metro to the city after buying Vienna shopping pass for about 7 euros. Vienna Shopping pass can be used until 8pm the same day. However, i think the pass has been discontinued la....

How to get to the opera house from Wien HBF?

Vienna Metro
Take the metro from Hauptbahnhof to Karlsplatz with Metro U1. It took us 3 minutes with 2 stops to reach the opera.

Very beautiful Renaissance revival architecture. I presume at night,
it would be much lovelier. 




Aina n  the Alban Berg Memorial

You can rent a bicycle to tour  the city 

The entrance for the casts

A lot of sellers wearing Austrian's traditional costumes selling tickets
outside. Too bad, we didn't have time to watch the show. 
 Actually, u can tour the opera house in 40 minutes with a guide. You  will visit Tea Salon, Marble Hall, Schwind Foyer, Gustav Mahler Hall and the auditorium  but the next guided tour was at 2 and of course it did not tally with our schedule.

Guided Opera Tour (Monday to Sunday)
Adults: € 9
Pensioners (65 and older):  € 7
Children, apprentices, students (up to 27):  € 4

Unfortunately,  we had to skip the tour. How i regretted not going into this beautiful Opera House...huhuhu...

Lama jugak kami bergambar dan pusing2 sekitar Opera House... Sedang kami pusing-pusing, tiba2 terjumpa Angelica, si cantik manis HOHO Bus... nego punya nego, I managed to get the whole bus just for us to tour Vienna... Hahahaha.. seperti orang mengantuk di sorong bantal...

With Angelica...

In our bus... A private bus just for us. Kami dapat juga earphone dan
 map. 

This is our cute lil red bus... the wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round.
Actually, Angelica gave us 2 routes for 15 euros per person but x sempat la.. we managed to circle 1 route only...huhuhu... In the next post, we will see where did we go within that 2 hours time with our cute lil red bus...
