A day trip to Bratislava from Vienna

By: Bound2explore                                                 August 30, 2018

 

I’m a big fan of a day trip to another city or country. Some city are quite small that you will be able to explore most of it in one day. Since Bratislava, Slovakia is the closest Capital City to Vienna, I decided to do a day trip to Bratislava from Vienna, Austria.  The trip only took one hour by train. You don’t need to book your ticket ahead of time. The train runs every hour from Vienna Central Station.

If you are ready for a day trip to Bratislava from Vienna, here is on how to start. Take a train from Vienna Central Station to Bratislava Hlavna Stanica  or Bratislava Central Station. From there you can walk to the downtown or you can take a bus or taxi.  Taking a taxi is more convenient but if you are feeling athletic like me then you can walk and bump into the cute spot along the way. You never know what adventure awaits you when you do a day trip to Bratislava from Vienna. Continue reading →

My three days in Barcelona, Spain started near La Ramblas as I witnessed a crime in progress. No traveler is really prepared for such things.
