DAY TRIPPIN' BETWEEN THE WORLD'S 2 CLOSEST CAPITALS (Vienna to Bratislava)

In this video, we take a day trip between 2 of the world's closest capitals: Vienna, Austria and Bratislava, Slovakia! We were very excited for this trip because all the good things we've heard about Bratislava!

We start off traveling by train between the two cities. The total trip only takes about an hour so it's the perfect day trip from Vienna! After we got off the train we were able to enjoy the beautiful walk into the downtown area and see St. Michael's gate, which stands out with its unique architecture and teal color. Unfortunately, it started to rain on us but we still enjoyed our time as much as possible by going to Primate's Palace. We also had the palace all to ourselves and were able to walk around and take many videos and pictures.

After Primate's, we headed over to the BLUE CHURCH which is a unique and colorful building that slightly resembled a marshmallow candy! Next, we went to St. Martin's Cathedral and toured the Crypts underneath the church.

One amazing thing about Bratislava was that a lot of the tourist attractions were affordable (1-3 euros) and informative. It was such a cool experience to be able to hop on a train and within a short hour we entered a completely new country with a different country with its very own language, architecture, culture, and food.

We had an amazing time and would love to explore more of the country (and maybe we will soon hehehe)

Howdy! We're Jenna & Andrew and we create travel vlogs. With this channel we hope to do more than just the typical bucket list. We set out to better understand the culture, language, and most importantly the people of the places we travel to. Our channel is designed to give a unique perspective and knowledge of each country, and our honest and true experience.

I would say that the two closest capitals in the world are Kinsasa(DRC) and Brazzaville(Congo)

Fun fact: I went from Vienna to Bratislava for not even thirty minutes. Someone in my family dances in Bratislava and we are from Vienna and this person had left his dancing shoes in Vienna, so I had to bring it to him.

If you're in Bratislava and it starts raining, be sure that it's going to be very windy and rainy all day long 😂😂

Just visiting now myself, thanks for your video 📹 you have a new subscriber!

👋 Well you have at least 1 slovakian fan :) The restaurant you visited is not a typical tourist trap, food is pretty solid, but the prices are indeed tourists :) that's why nobody local was there. But there are worse traps that you could end in just a few minutes walk from that place. So you have been lucky!

I'm doing the train from Vienna to Bratislava in a few days and I wanted to know if they checked your passports? And I have a standard ticket meaning that I can hop on any train and I wanted to know what if that train is full, can I still get on even with my ticket?

[dalemadden]

Another great video! A good idea for a side trip.

[lolangtamad]

How much the train cost back &forth?

[rogerchallful]

If you take a tram you have to validate the ticket within 50 seconds onboard or they give you an 80 euro fine. They wait for tourist to make the mistake of coming to Slovakia.

Hi, chance upon your lovely video while searching for day trips from Vienna. May I know all those places in your video are they walkable from the train station? Would like to do a wandering tour like u guys 😊

[ericliu]

how long did you guys stay in Bratislava and what time did you board the train to Bratislava and train back to Vienna?

[simonmsk]

It’s not as different as you think. Bratislava used to be called Pressburg and was mostly German speaking until the WW1. It was basically a Vienna’s suburb within the Habsburg empire.

[samsutton]

I know it’s pedantic but I’m pretty sure the Vatican City (it’s own country) being inside Rome (the capital of Italy) is closer. Plus Brazzaville and Kinshasa.

[chrispaulus]

I will be flying into Vienna and spending a few days in Bratislava in early April. Hopefully it gets a little warmer before then.

[sprinkle]

Nice video! how many hours did you guys spend in Bratislava?

[ravenhandley]

Considering doing Bratislava/Vienna for a few days next month, any other suggestions for 2 Cities/countries really close to eachother where you can feasibly visit 2 countries in 3 or 4 days?

The two closest capitals in the world? I'm afraid you haven't checked properly. On top of the list is the duo Kinshasa-Brazzaville, on either side of the Congo River, and you could even argue that it's actually the Vatican City and Rome, since there's zero distance between them 🙂 As far as I know, Vienna-Pressburg come in 3rd place.
