Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, it's a 2-2,5 hours drive from Budapest. It's one of the four capitals along the Danube river. A charming town with Bratislava castle from the Middle Ages and the Baroque style city centre with colourful buildings, cobblestoned streets, little cafés, art galleries and great atmosphere. I'd highly recommend a tour when you are in Vienna or Budapest, you won't be disappointed. These are the pictures from our last tour, we were lucky with beautiful weather and clear blue skies.

I get a lot of inquiries about travel restrictions related to COVID, it's actually still not easy to find out who can enter Hungary. The basic rules: The citizens of the EU who have the EU green card (EU Digital Covid Certificate) are free to enter Hungary by plane, by car, by train or by boat. Travellers coming from outside the EU are free to enter Hungary by car, by train or by boat. There are no local restrictions so you can go to any museum, restaurant, café, bar, hotel or bathhouse without any proof of vaccination and wearing a mask is no longer obligatory. Hopefully very soon the same restrictions will apply to travellers coming from the EU and from outside the EU, it's basically a political decision and there is nothing we can do to help visitors. The good news, is that if you are in Vienna or Bratislava, you're very close to Budapest and can easily plan a daytrip to visit my beautiful city. The train connections between Vienna and Budapest and between Bratislava and Budapest are great and it's easy to book tickets. I can also help you to arrange for private transportation if needed. I'm happy to customise any of my walking or driving tours so that you can have the perfect Budapest experience. I can pick you up at the train station or meet you in the city centre of Budapest and you'll see all the main attractions and the most beautiful parts of the city in a couple of hours. Please let me know if you need more details or have further questions.
