奥地利／Austria（Part 3）

＊维也纳／Vienna
作为奥地利首府，维也纳当然比其他城市来得还要大，可以看的东西自然也多。你可以乘船欣赏著名的多瑙河的美，也可以花一天的时间看偏这里的旧建筑，或者是走在它的主要街道山，感受这个城市的朝气。如果你是个艺术爱好者，那你绝对会爱上维也纳，因为这里每天有一堆的表演让你欣赏。当然这些表演都不便宜，只有少数表演，你可以很侥幸地买到区区几欧元的戏票。
As the capital of Austria, Vienna (or Wien as the locals call it) is naturally the biggest and most populated city. And this of course means that there are tons of things for one to see or do here. You can take a cruise down the beautiful Danube, or you can spend a day admiring the many old buildings or wandering in the streets to experience the vibrant city. If you are an arts lover, then you are definitely in seventh heaven. There are loads of museums and performances that one can check out. Of course, these performances do not come cheap. But if you are lucky, you can get a standing room ticket at a low cost. I am not much of an arts lover and also did not manage to secure a cheap ticket, and hence missed out on the performances. 维也纳最吸引人的旅游景点之一是这个拥有1440个房间的夏日皇宫。之前看了那么多皇宫，对这个皇宫自然没有多大的兴趣，更何况还要付入门票。可是在天气好的时候，到皇宫境内晃晃其实是个不错的主意。
One of the biggest attractions in Vienna is that of the 1400-roomed Schloss Schonbrunn, or the Summer Palace. Having already seen so many palaces and with the ticket for this particular palace way to high for my liking, I did not bother entering the palace. But what I did was to stroll around the huge grounds of the palace together. 之前到幕尼黑出席啤酒节的时候认识了几位奥地利人，于是到了之后就联络他们，之后就在他们的带领下，到郊外一个少为人知的酒吧看了一个摇滚表演。
While at Oktoberfest a week earlier, I got to know a few Austrians and upon arriving in Vienna, I contacted them to meet up with them. One of the first few places that they brought me to was this mini rock concert at a little known pub way out of the city. 隔天，他们带我四处看看，包括到这里著名的教堂和游乐园。
The next day, I was shown a few sights of Vienna, including taking a walk along the Danube, this huge church and the Prater amusement park.
