Vienna Rathaus - City Hall
As Lisa learned in Munich already, Rathaus means City Hall, not a house for rats. No confusion there. However, there are some words particular to the Vienna dialect, that do sound interesting to people speaking German German. One such word is "Mistkübel", with to every Vienna native denotes a garbage can, but to a German means literally a "manure bucket". :-)
