5 nights in Vienna

Posted by (San Francisco) on

Hello all,

Just started planning my 5-night visit to Vienna in mid-September. We will be arriving from Prague and will be proceeding to Budapest after Vienna.

We plan to explore the city for 4 days and take a day trip to Bratislava. That's the high-level plan. Once I have worked on my itinerary for 4 days, I will share it to get input.

Looking for a few inputs as of now:

1) We plan to stay in an apartment with a kitchen facility. If anyone has a recommendation for same, please share.

2) Day trip to Bratislava. Is a day trip enough, and is the trip worth taking?

3) Any recommended area to stay or avoid? We don't want to stay too far off from the main area.

Many thanks in advance

This is an apartment for two where family of mine and friends stayed already several times:

After having read the reviews you will agree that the name is well deserved.

One day is far enough for Bratislava. The historical center is walkable and not very big, but most restaurants are somewhat touristy. Outstanding is Café Mayer which is on par regarding cakes with the best places in Vienna. Also worth mentioning is the UFO, an observation deck, cafeteria and fine dining restaurant high above the river Danube.

Use the train connection from Vienna, buy the special Bratislava Ticket, i.e., a return ticket including public transport in Bratislava. Don't go by boat, the trip is expensive and boring.

Do take a direct train from Wien Hauptbahnhof to Bratislava Hlavná Stanica then walk to Bratislava’s scenic charming old town or take tram one.
