The nearest stop to the Hoxton is the stop "Wien Mitte" which both go to.

That you made the trip and joined us in Vienna is a great gift already! However, if you'd like to contribute, we would be grateful for a small contribution to our future. Leave us an old school envelope or ask us for details for a transfer. 

We are trying to organise a special entry for all invitees. So if you are interested to check it out before the wedding ceremony, please let us know. It will make organisation easier. See here: https://karlskirche.eu/geschichte-der-karlskirche/ 

The dresscode is festive and elegant. 

Tenue de ville for the church and cocktail for the evening,

Absolutely! Here are some ideas:

• The Belvedere. The former summer residence of Prince Eugene. His winter residence is today the Ministry of Finance.

• Take a ride around the city center in a tram. You can see major sights this way. 

• A stroll through the historic city center heading to the Burggarten. A public park in the inner city, the first district of Vienna. The park was built for the royal family after the destruction of the city fortifications by Napoleon.

• Coffee & cake at a traditional Viennese coffee house like Café Heiner.

• Explore the newly renovated Parliament of Austria

• A visit to a Heuriger (local wine tavern) on the outskirts of Vienna. Yes, Vienna is a wine region.

Let us know if you'd like personalized tips — we're happy to help!

Of course! Just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Yes, right outside the church there are two and across from the Hoxton is the Stadtpark. It may be a little walk but it sure is fun.  Markus tested it decades ago. 

You can plant it. It's embedded with wildflower seeds. Water, wait, and watch love grow. (No pressure if it just turns into herbs.) Further information: https://bluehwerk-papeterie.at/pflanzanleitung-3/

Yes — just like the EU budget, it required months of negotiation, careful compromises… and the level of payments is near the ceiling. So we will see if special instruments could be mobilized. 😅
