Bratislava & Vienna
Bratislava, small but perfectly formed with a compact old town makes for a relaxing city break. A trip to the top of the UFO affords stunning views. Take a catamaran along the Danube in just over an hour for a faster pace of life in Vienna and eat sachertorte at a pavement cafe and visit the stunning cathedral.
The Hundertwasser social housing is a must. Enjoy two cities for the price of one.
