Bratislava Discovery: Old & New (from Vienna)

Meeting the Slovak capital and its residents

A full day of exploring, learning and fun in Bratislava, Slovakia, conveniently starting and ending at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof).

MORNING
After arriving in Bratislava by direct train, we first take a leisurely stroll through its medieval city center Staré Mesto, passing St. Michael's Gate, the 17th-century main square and revolutionary Hviezdoslavovo námestie. Obviously there's a shared history, so what kind of similarities and differences to Vienna will you come to notice in the Slovak capital?

But Bratislava is more than just its Old Town. After admiring the iconic Blue Church, we take in in wide angled views of the Zaha Hadid-designed Sky Park before having lunch at Nivy Mall food court with plenty of local and international choices at your own taste and budget.

AFTERNOON
Directly after lunch, it's possible to join the optional German Language Lab, a 90-minute tutor-led German practice session for levels A2-C1. (+EUR 10.00)

Everyone has 3-4 hours of afternoon free time for independent city exploration and dining. City-wide transit is included, itineraries suggested on request.

EVENING
Finally, at 7 PM, the group will gather again at the International Night Bratislava for networking, games and fun. Right after this social highlight, we'll hop on our train back to Vienna.
