Twin City Liner to Vienna and Back

What to expect

The Twin City Liner is a fast catamaran between Bratislava and Vienna, sold by Flora Tour. Instead of the motorway you get the river: the castle behind you, then the floodplain forest of the Danube between the two capitals.

Both ends are in the city centre, so it works as a day trip to Vienna or as a way to arrive in Bratislava without a transfer.

Route & highlights

• departure from the pontoon on Rázusovo nábrežie, next to the Old Town
• views of Bratislava Castle and Devín as you leave the city
• the green, wild landscape of the Danube floodplains
• arrival at Schwedenplatz in central Vienna, a short walk from St. Stephen’s Cathedral

Before you go

Boats leave from the Twin City Liner pontoon on Rázusovo nábrežie and from Schwedenplatz in Vienna. Check in half an hour before departure and bring a valid passport or ID card.

The main season runs daily from May to early November; in late November and December there are Advent cruises on selected days. Bikes travel only with a reservation (12 places; no tandems, fatbikes or trailers), and dogs need a muzzle, a lead and an EU pet passport.

There are two wheelchair spaces, bookable in advance only, and wheelchair users must travel with a companion. Toilets on board include an accessible one, and foldable pushchairs travel free.
