General Information about the journey from Bratislava to Vienna
The capital cities of Slovakia and Austria are only an hour away by bus or train, making a day trip to Vienna easy to arrange if you are staying in Bratislava. The two cities are only 80 kilometres apart, so flying is not an option, but low cost, frequent overland transport options are just as good. In terms of journey time, there isn't much to choose between trains and buses as both are cheap and frequent. However, the U2 Stadium Bus Terminal is a couple of kilometres away from the centre, so rail travel may suit sightseers slightly better.
