Useful Tips

If you have more time, spend your afternoon wandering around the 7-hundred-year-old town of Bratislava, a short train journey from Vienna. Alternatively, end your day with a trip to the Schlumberger Cellar World wine museum, featuring a guided tour, wine-tasting and champagne bar. For those with less time, we recommend removing the visit to Belvedere Palace and Museum.
