Not only is Bratislava a beautiful neoclassical, gothic and yet modern city, it is great value for money as well as a short journey across the Austrian boarder to the stunning city of Vienna, which means visitors can combine two classic city tours into one trip.
Bratislava is situated on the banks of the Danube, overlooked by a 15th century castle and has many cultural and historic attractions in its compact and pedestrians old town which also has a vibrant cafe culture.
Vienna is a magnificent city, thriving in cultural history, with splendid imperial architecture and a centre for the arts and the world`s music capital. With attractions as varied as art galleries to the giant Ferris wheel, or opera performances to the famed horse ballet at the Spanish Riding School, there is something for everyone. Strolling around in the footsteps of the Habsburgs, admiring the regal surroundings, it is easy to understand why the city was such an inspiration to the great music composers.
