    Lure of city life
    Region: Austria If the two of you are in love with throbbing nightlife, busy markets and huge skyscrappers, then planning a honeymoon is a world class city is the best idea. Head to cities such as Barcelona, New York, London, San Franciso, Prague and more. Even Vienna is a good option. The main streets are laid out in rings, and there are lots of little shops and cafes on streets like Karntnerstrasse. The buildings have the sort of stylised facades that make you really feel like you’ve travelled to Europe. And don’t forget to try a traditional weiner schnitzel, a thinly sliced piece of breaded veal. You can’t visit Mozart’s hometown without seeing an orchestra. Even if you’re not into classical music, a performance by the Vienna Philharmonic can be overwhelmingly beautiful.
