Bratislava - Vienna Boat Connection
Bratislava and Vienna, the two capital cities located on the Danube river at a distance of no more then 50 km of each other will be connected by a high-speed boat in the coming tourist season. The Central Danube Region Marketing is starting their TWIN CITY LINER project, establishing a direct scheduled link between Schwedenplatz/Marienbrücke in Vienna and Propellerhaus in Bratislava (right on the edge of the Old Town with major city attractions). A 75-minute cruise will be available 3-times a day between 1 June and 29 October. The rates start at EUR 15 for the round-trip.
The special boat for up to 102 passengers has been built in Norway. It is 33,7 m long, 8,5 m and can reach the maximum speed of 55 km per hour. The catamaran offers real comfort, incl. air-conditioning, seating in leather, panoramic windows, lookout deck and the snack bar.
