Bratislava und Donau

Vienna is beautiful – but why not think outside the box? In less than an hour from our Ferchergasse apartments, you can reach another European capital jewel: Bratislava! The Slovakian metropolis on the Danube is perfect for a varied day trip – full of history, culture and culinary delights.

In Bratislava, a charming old town with narrow streets, baroque buildings and cozy cafés awaits you. The imposing Bratislava Castle towers over the city and offers a fantastic view across the Danube to Austria. Modern architecture and a diverse cultural life also provide exciting contrasts.

And best of all, you can easily explore the city in one day – and return to Vienna in the evening. We’ll show you how to get there easily.

With the Twin City Liner – crossing the Danube in style

The Twin City Liner is a particularly nice way to travel (from March to the end of October). In just 75 minutes, the speedboat takes you from Vienna directly to the center of Bratislava – past impressive Danube landscapes. Ideal for anyone who wants to make the journey itself an experience. You can find more information and book here.

Conveniently by bus or train

Alternatively, you can also reach Bratislava in the traditional way by train or Flixbus. Both options will get you to the city center quickly and inexpensively. From there, you can discover the charming old town, the castle and the banks of the Danube on your own. Perfect for anyone who wants to be flexible and independent on the road.

Or would you prefer a relaxed guided tour?

Don’t want to have to worry about anything and just enjoy yourself? Then a guided tour with Vienna Sightseeing is just the thing for you. The day trip to Bratislava includes travel, a city tour and plenty of free time. So you get the best of both worlds. You can find more information and book here.

No matter which option you choose, Bratislava is always worth a visit. And best of all, you’ll be back in your cozy apartment with us in Vienna in the evening.
