We got the tram to the train station from close to our hotel in Bratislava. The city’s main train station looks like it has been frozen in time to a great extent – the general feel is one of non-deliberate retro.
It took about an hour to get from there to Vienna’s central train station, which was extremely modern and well-appointed… worlds apart.
Vienna is one stunning building after another, with a ridiculous number of top-quality galleries and museums. We were there for four nights, didn’t go overboard with trying to see everything, and still managed to walk about 12km a day.
