VIENNA: Vienna is a city of romance, with grand palaces, charming cobblestone streets, and a timeless atmosphere perfect for two. Share a coffee in a historic café, enjoy local wine at a cosy Heurigen, or take in breathtaking views from the iconic ferris wheel. Every corner offers the chance for unforgettable moments. Discover our 5 tips to see how Vienna can set the perfect stage for your romantic getaway.

Dinner in the Giant Ferris Wheel

Take your romance to dazzling new heights with an unforgettable dinner on the iconic “Wiener Riesenrad” ferris wheel. Imagine it now... a candlelit table in a private gondola where exquisite dishes and chilled champagne meet breathtaking views. As the wheel glides gracefully, the city lights twinkle like a thousand tiny stars, creating the perfect backdrop for heartfelt toasts and meaningful conversations. Each gentle rotation feels like a new chapter in your love story, while the sparkling panorama sets an enchanting scene.

Cozy Café Moments

Vienna’s café culture is nothing short of extraordinary, and there’s no better place to experience it than at the iconic Café Central. With its magnificent architecture and fascinating history, this café sets the scene for a romantic date this Valentine's Day. Sip on a silky “Melange” coffee, indulge in the legendary “Sachertorte” chocolate cake, and let the elegant surroundings transport you. The world outside simply melts away as you and your loved one immerse yourselves in the romantic charm of Vienna’s coffeehouses..

Winter Romance on Ice

Open from November through to March, the Vienna Ice Skating Club is a romantic playground inviting couples to glide across the ice, while enjoying classical music and twinkling lights – a feast for all the senses. Plus, if the ice gets a little wobbly, there's plenty of opportunities to have a laugh and a bit of fun. After a session on the ice, warm up with a cup of punch, or for the brave, try a strong Jagertee. A spin on the ice promises a fresh, romantic adventure this Valentine's Day!

A Visit to a Traditional Wine Tavern in Grinzing

Vienna’s wine tavern tradition is a heartfelt invitation to unwind and savour the moment with loved ones. In the picturesque district of Grinzing, surrounded by cosy wine pubs and historic vineyards, you can taste the city’s finest. We recommend sipping on freshly pressed “Sturm” (young wine) or velvety “Veltliner”, a dry white wine with crisp, fruity notes that’s a regional favourite. Indulge in traditional delights like “Liptauer”, a creamy, spiced cheese spread; a “Brettljause”, a hearty platter of cold meats, cheeses, and pickles; or “Grammelknödel”, fluffy potato dumplings filled with savoury pork cracklings. With candles burning and the lively charm of folk music in the background, an evening in the district of Grinzing promises romance and a celebration of Vienna’s best.

An Evening at the Vienna State Opera

What better way to honour Valentine's Day than spending an evening at the Vienna State Opera. Known for its great love stories, from soul mates to forbidden love, fairytales to tragedies, opera has all sides of the heart covered and promises to captivate and inspire. The stunning architecture - from the grand marble foyer to the sparkling chandelier - sets the stage for an unforgettable night of elegance and romance. After the curtain falls, head to the Opera Passage and raise a glass of champagne, allowing the evening’s romance to linger a little longer.
