Bratislava city breaks
After flying into Vienna Airport and taking a quick hop over the border, you’ll have the bright lights of Bratislava to explore as you wish. The Slovakian capital sits on the Danube River, bordered by Austria and Hungary. It’s a top pick if you’re after the buzz of a capital city, without the crowds and price tag of some of Europe’s other favourites. It packs a real punch when it comes to culture and sightseeing, with museums, castles, theatres and more to uncover! Not to mention the exciting nightlife. Magical markets come to town over the Christmas period too, so you can get your festive fix and then some.
Lots of landmarks!
Dominated by the majestic Bratislava Castle, the city boasts endless sightseeing opportunities. Some of the top spots include St. Martin's Cathedral, Michael's Gate and the iconic UFO Tower. The Old Town’s a maze of delights too. Think charming streets, historical squares and a unique blend of Gothic, baroque and modern architecture.
Festive fun
Wrap up warm and explore these enchanting streets, which are especially cosy and warming throughout winter. And in November and December, its magical markets take over the winding streets. Lights, traditional decorations, live music and sometimes even a sprinkling of snow make it picture perfect.
Two cities in one
Vienna’s just a stone’s throw away, making it easy to tick off two European capitals in one trip! Spend a day in the Austrian capital, exploring its famous palaces, grand museums and coffeehouse culture. You’ll get to experience two very distinct cultures, histories and atmospheres in one break!
