Along the River Danube
Leave the Old Town by speedboat, pass houseboats on a quiet Danube backwater and spend an hour at Danubiana, an art museum on the river.
What to expect
A private speedboat trip with Speedboats.sk that shows Bratislava from the water. The captain follows the current of the Danube downstream, past quiet backwaters, to the Čunovo water area and the Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum.
A good choice for couples and groups of friends who have already walked the centre and want to see the city from the river.
Route & highlights
- Jarovecké rameno, a quiet backwater with houseboats and old Danube boats
- the Čunovo water area with the Divoká Voda whitewater course
- a one-hour stop at Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum: contemporary art and a sculpture park on a peninsula in the river
- views of the Danube you never get from the bank
Before you go
The boat leaves from the Vlčie hrdlo marina; boarding in the city centre is possible for an extra fee. You can use the one-hour stop for the gallery or swap it for lunch at Modrá čajka, a restaurant on the water. Getting into a speedboat needs some mobility, so discuss any specific needs with the organiser.
