The excursion

What this day is

Bratislava and Vienna are both crown cities: the Austrian emperors were crowned in Vienna, the Hungarian kings in Bratislava. They are an hour apart, which means a group staying on either side can be shown the other without changing hotel.

The day is built around a three-hour Grand City Tour of Vienna with a local guide — one hour by coach along the Ringstrasse, two hours on foot through the centre — with lunch in a traditional Viennese restaurant and either free time or Schönbrunn afterwards.
