Gordon & Elizabeth's Honeymoon Registry

Vienna, Austria

Gordon and Elizabeth have a spectacular honeymoon to Vienna planned. They will dance the night away at a New Year's Ball in the home of the waltz, and explore this gorgeous European capital while pursuing their passion for music, culture, history, and the arts. You can become a part of their once in a lifetime honeymoon by gifting one of these experiences for them.

A unique mixture of imperial tradition with modern creativity makes Austria's capital one of the most popular destinations for city travelers from all over the world. Within Central Europe, Vienna is a prominent metropolis for culture and entertainment, but a city of vitality as well as. Buildings dating back to the baroque, historicism or art nouveau eras, combined with green spaces and large parks, still result in an atmosphere of a romantic imperial city. Additionally, Vienna is a capital of arts, due to several renowned museums, housing world-famous pieces of art: from the Museum of Art History, with the world's largest collection of Bruegel paintings, to the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, exhibiting masterpieces of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.

Vienna is furthermore also called the "City of Music", and indeed, many composers lived in Vienna, such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Brahms, Mahler and Schoenberg, to only name a few. Still today, e.g. the Viennese Philharmonics, the Vienna State Opera, or the Vienna Boys Choir are some of Vienna's internationally important cultural testimonials.

In Vienna's traditional coffeehouses, it is very easy to just relax from the sightseeing tours, to enjoy local or international specialties, or to simply read newspapers. In recent years, a modern coffee house generation has developed as well, with trendy interior design and hip music by DJs - coffee house tradition combined with modern trends.
