The journey from Vienna to Bratislava takes only about one hour by train or bus. If you choose to take a ferry ride on the Danube River, the journey can last for approximately 75 minutes.

Bratislava is best to visit during the months of April through September, or during spring and summer. During this period, the city is often sunny and hosts various events or festivals. Avoid visiting in late July or early August, as many local residents go on vacation, and some shops or restaurants may be closed.

Bratislava offers a variety of tourist attractions to enjoy, ranging from historic sites to cultural activities. Visit the iconic Bratislava Castle and wander the streets of the Old Town filled with cafes and small shops. You can also stroll along the banks of the Danube River or explore some museums and art galleries. For those who enjoy hiking, the mountains around Bratislava offer stunning hiking routes.

When in public places or historic buildings, please keep your voice volume down and avoid making excessive noise. If you are in a restaurant or cafe, giving a tip of around 10% of the total bill is a commonly followed norm.

No need to. Bratislava has plenty of ATMs and currency exchange places with competitive rates. You can also use credit cards at almost all locations, except in rural or more remote areas.
