Spotlight on destination: Bratislava

Step into a surprising three-day journey full of culture, gastronomy, adventure, and Slovak hospitality. Bratislava combines historical charm with the bustling Danube, excellent wines, and a green environment that is perfect for unique experiences. From a vintage car ride and a royal city walk to speedboats, rafting, and cycling through the vineyards, this trip lets you experience Bratislava and its surroundings in a completely different way.
This trip is easy to combine with an extension of the journey to Vienna. 

Day 1 – Bratislava: historical charm & Slovak flavors

After arrival, you travel from Vienna to Bratislava, where the trip begins with lunch at the Grand Hotel River Park. Afterwards, it is time to discover the city. Not with a classic transfer, but on board of old-timers that lead you to Bratislava Castle and the historic city center.

During the Royal Bratislava Walk you will discover the city's stories and monuments, combined with a visit to the Nedbalka Gallery. The first day concludes entirely in a Slovak atmosphere with a dinner and wine tasting at Matyšák Restaurant.

Day 2 – The Danube: speed, adventure & gastronomy

Today Bratislava shows its adventurous side. You step aboard a speedboat for a trip on the Danube, followed by a hefty dose of action during the rafting in Čunovo.

After lunch, a unique sensory experience awaits: Wine Tasting in the Dark. Without using your sight, you discover the tastes and aromas of local wines in a completely different way. In the evening, head towards the Mirror Bar for an aperitif, after which you will dine at UFO, at one of the most iconic locations above the Danube.

Day 3 – Vineyards & castles outside Bratislava

On the last day, you leave the city behind and head into the wine region around Bratislava. By bike through the vineyards discover the green landscape and a completely different side of the region.

This is followed by a visit and lunch at the Chateau Pezinok Hotel and a final introduction to Slovak wine culture at the Elesko Winery. A relaxing and flavorful conclusion before returning to Vienna International Airport.
