Vienna and Bratislava, the two closest capital cities in Europe, share a rich history rooted in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Both cities have had the honour of crowning Empress Maria Theresa: Bratislava as Queen of Hungary and Vienna as Empress of Austria. A short one-hour bus journey from Vienna will transport you to the heart of Bratislava.

Upon arrival, you'll have some leisure time to explore before meeting your guide outside the main entrance of a nearby hotel. From there, you'll embark on a walking tour through Bratislava's historic city centre. The tour offers three food options to suit your preference: a simple lunch, lunch accompanied by beer, or coffee and cake. Depending on your choice, your guide will either escort you to a café for coffee and cake, a restaurant for lunch, or direct you to a local beer house.

After your meal, you'll have more free time to stroll around Bratislava, indulge in some shopping, or simply soak up the beauty of the Danube. As the day concludes, you'll return to Vienna from the same bus station where your journey began earlier in the day.
