The Twin City Liner catamaran leaves from the centre of Vienna, at Schwedenplatz, and goes down the Danube between the riverside forests of the Donau-Auen National Park to the pier by the old town of Bratislava. It is the prettiest way to make the outbound journey and come back by train. In December 2026 there are Advent departures on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 27 November to 20 December: out at 10:30 (arriving 11:45) and back at 16:30 (in Vienna at 18:00), from €28.
