A stunning wedding venue in a historical palace owned by the princely family of Liechtenstein, the Liechtenstein CITY PALACE is located right in central Vienna, very close to the former imperial court , Hofburg, as well as Burgtheater, Volksgarten and Rathaus (City Hall) and provides the perfect setting for luxurious high-end social and corporate events. The palace is undoubtedly the one and only venue for couples with great expectations, looking to create a fairy tale wedding experience while incorporating authentic history and art elements into a once in a lifetime celebration.
A magnificent ensemble of Baroque stucco ceilings, opulent neo-Rococo interiors and original furnishings complemented by Michael Thonet’s fine parquet flooring form a harmonious whole, revealing insights into the aristocratic life of bygone epochs. Selected works of art of the Biedermeier and Neoclassicism period from the private art collection of the Prince von und zu Liechtenstein – one of the world’s largest and most important private art collections – can be viewed in the gallery rooms of the CITY PALACE within the scope of exclusive events or a pre-booked guided tour.
