Bratislava Day Trip from Vienna

Bratislava Day Trip from Vienna

Leave Vienna behind in a comfortable coach to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia located on the banks of the Danube River. Traveling 40 miles (64 km) east through the countryside, enjoy the beautiful Austrian landscape.

Upon arrival, your guide will take you to picturesque Old Town Bratislava for a walking tour. On this guided tour, enjoy a wonderful panorama of the Slovakian capital as you see its main sites such as Michael’s Gate, the only remaining gate of the medieval fortification of Bratislava, and Bratislava Castle, located on a hill and dating back to the Stone Age.

Visit Grassalkovich Palace and learn about its history from your guide. Built as a summer residence for Count Grassalkovich in the 18th-century, this huge rococo-style palace was used as a Hungarian aristocracy social center. Continue to the Primate's Palace, an 18th-century palace inspired by French classicism considered today as one of the most beautiful buildings in Bratislava.

Then, enjoy your box lunch (included) and spend some free time visiting one of the numerous coffee houses, shops or cultural sites. Visit the Slovak National Theatre and St Martin’s Cathedral, an ancient coronation place for Hungarian emperors. On your way, you may be able to spot the four life-size bronze statues of the French Napoleon soldier, each hidden in the streets of Old Town Bratislava.

After your sightseeing tour, board the coach and enjoy a relaxing drive back to Vienna.

Or, upgrade your tour to return to Vienna by high-speed catamaran! Sail in a state-of-the-art catamaran on the famous Danube River as you take in the scenic landscape and admire the region’s main sights from the water. Pass through the unspoiled Danube River wetlands and the Donau-Auen National Park before arriving at Schwedenplatz in Vienna.

We enjoyed the excursion and especially the return trip by Catamaran. Bratislava is a very interesting historic city worth a visit. The only complaint is that after we were collected from our Hotels nobody told us that our Guide was awaiting us at Bratislava and in fact did not tell us which coach we should board from the Coach Station where they took us. I suggest that the instructions in this respect will be more precise. Otherwise excellent especially the Tour Guide.
