Bratislava & Vienna Cultural Tour
About this tour
Bratislava the capital of Slovakia and Vienna the capital of Austria is a perfect example of a dual location tour. The two capitals are the closest in Europe with only 30 miles between the two.
It provides a great contrast when it comes to exploring both cities as even though they are so close Vienna is much larger and more established compared to Bratislava which is one of youngest capital cities in Europe.
Bratislava is the quieter and more relaxed city out of the two, this is reflected in the activities you can do from exploring the quaint old town to walking up to the top of Devin Castle with its panoramic views of the Slovakian countryside.
Vienna on the other hand is jam packed with activities and landmarks from looking round the Belvedere to sampling famous Austrian pastries and cakes. A day in Vienna truly is not enough though we will include all the best activities and landmarks to make sure you get a real flavour of the city.
