For an enchanting experience, hop aboard the river cruise along the Danube to Bratislava and explore the mighty Bratislava castle.

For an authentic experience, start your time here with a dinner cruise along the river to get a glimpse at the eccentric architecture that is lit by night. Look at the many sculptures, paintings and rooms of Buda Castle and make sure you spend some time chilling in a famous thermal pool in the city. Enjoy looking at the splendid Hungarian countryside and the Low Tatras mountain range.
