Discover the beauty of Bratislava on this full-day tour. Explore the city's historic centre accompanied by an expert English-speaking guide and return to Vienna by boat, enjoying spectacular views as you cruise down the Danube.
Bratislava Day Trip & Danube Cruise
Bright and early in the morning, we'll meet you at the bus station. Once we've all arrived, we'll start walking to the city's historic centre with the guide.
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 some free time 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 from the Danube.
