本地人新景點

依家天陰陰,前排見好天我就去咗我屋企附近(電車搭三個站)一個本地人新景點Bahnorama.

呢個話係歐洲最高嘅木造觀光塔.用咗4百70萬歐(使唔使咁貴,我估一定有人落咗格)

個大堂有啲關於將來個Vienna Main Station 嘅單張.

呢度雖然係免費參觀,但係都要攞飛先. 因為係用嚟控制人潮. 右手邊係免費蛋糕coupon.幫襯佢間cafe就有架喇.

首先係個information centre介紹Vienna Main Station.

火車站附近...大家喺呢幅相可以搵到我屋企架. 我緊係唔指喺邊啦. 大家失驚無神摸上門咁點算呢.

火車可以去到嘅地方

個information centre就係咁大

路軌

依家好常見嘅雙層火車.

Vienna Main Station係重建維也納南站嘅大project. 二次大戰前南站係咁嘅.

未重建前係咁.我估有啲blog友都用過. 據下面篇報導南站係奧地利最醜嘅火車站.

將來呢個位係office buildings.

有3D模擬片睇.

上到塔頂,好開陽呢. Stephansdom都見到.

而大家嚟就係睇呢個全奧地利最大工地.  (地盤都好睇,奧地利人真係冇乜嘢好做.)

睇完就去cafe

嗰件係乜蛋糕.原來指定咗杏脯蛋糕. 見佢杯朱古力只係普通cafe價錢,於是幫襯咗. 嗰杯朱古力都幾大杯.

Vienna’s Westbahnhof has been voted the second-ugliest train station in the country following controversy about a pricey watchtower at the building site of the city’s future main railway station.

A survey by the Austrian Traffic Club (VCÖ) found the main station in Linz, Upper Austria, the most popular station among 12,400 travellers for the fifth year in a row, followed by Innsbruck’s main station and the main station of Graz.

Salzburg’s main station came in last, with Vienna’s Westbahnhof western station in second to last place. Both stations are currently undergoing extensive renovation.

The federal capital’s Südbahnhof southern station traditionally came in last in the poll. The station was torn down recently to make way for the city’s new main station, which is set to be fully in operation in 2015.

While residents in Favoriten and Wieden districts have complained about noise created by the nonstop building work, city leaders have spent 4.7 million Euros on a 67-metre watchtower, an exhibition documenting the project and a restaurant.

Critics accused Federal Railways (ÖBB) boss Christian Kern and the ruling Vienna Social Democrats (SPÖ) of wasting taxpayers’ money, stressing that decision-makers had failed to reveal where the wooden tower would be used afterwards.

Vienna Greens official Sabine Gretner said the money should have rather been invested in energy efficient construction, while residents’ representative Erwin Schuecker pointed out: "Nothing was spent on ensuring we are protected from the noise created by building activities."

The tower, which can be visited free of charge, also features a lift – which went out of service due to a technical error after Kern and SPÖ councillor Rudolf Schicker had used it as they officially opened the potential new attraction last week.............

.........Every Austrian took trains an average of 1,297 kilometres last year. Only Switzerland and France among European countries had higher averages.
