@linietoria

As someone who loves browsing around record shops myself, this is already someplace I would find myself all the time if I were local. The added bonus, though, is that they allow you to listen to Kath Bloom's "Come Here" upon check out!

The pair are seen in front of Albertina, with views overlooking the Vienna Opera House (Staatsoper). Later, they sit beneath the statue of Archduke Albrecht, just as day breaks.

Whether or not you take in these sights with a star-crossed lover of your own, exploring Vienna feels romantic just the same. Enjoy your trip!
