A wonderful experience, the city perhaps deserves an extra day. The guide was good, showing the main sights. The return hydrofoil was very crowded.

Day Trip + Cruise Details

On the day of the trip, we'll meet in front of the Vienna Opera before heading over to Bratislava by bus. Once we've arrived after an hour's drive, we'll have a 2.5-hour guided tour of the city's historic center.

Our first stop will be the 18th-century Plague Column, after which we'll stroll through the inner city's pedestrian area to get to the National Theater. We'll then continue walking along the promenade, which is dotted with lots of small cafés.

During our day trip, you'll see sights such as Michael's Gate and its sophisticated onion dome, the historic City Hall, and the beautiful Maximilian Fountain. Our tour will come to an end at St. Martin's Cathedral, which is the site where the Hungarian kings' coronations took place.

Having explored Bratislava and its fascinating history, you'll have 6 hours of free time in the city to stroll around at your own pace, get something to eat, or do some shopping in the capital.

In the afternoon, you'll head to the dock at Razus Embankment to board the "Twin City Liner" catamaran. This modern boat will take you back to Vienna while you admire unique views of the Danube.

After a 1.5-hour voyage, you'll disembark in Schwedenplatz. At this point, in the heart of Vienna, we'll say our goodbyes after a total of 8 to 11.5 hours.

Classic Car Ride

If you choose this option, you'll enjoy a 1-hour classic car tour to Bratislava Castle. This tour, which will take place after the guided tour of Bratislava, can be done at the following times: 12 pm, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm or 4 pm.

Return to Vienna by Boat

For the boat trip back to Vienna, it's very important that you arrive on time to the Bratislava pier, located on Rázusovo Nábrežie Street. The departure times of the boats from Bratislava vary, so the tour guide will let you know the exact departure time of the boat on the same day.
