Wow what a city. Beautiful, small, quaint, stylish, contemporary, fashionable, and such a lovely calm vibe about the place. Yes it was busy but it don’t feel it. It gets lots of day trippers in from Vienna on sightseeing tours, but by late evening they’ve all gone back and it’s a lovely evening and night out. A really stylish pavement cafe culture with nice bars and restaurants, traditional and modern, and some great craft beer places. Not cheap but not expensive. Beer around 3eu a pint and meals around 11-15eu a main course. Airport is only 10 minutes away from the city and an Uber cost 11eu. We got an Airbnb apartment right in central old town and cost £180 for 3 nights. It was lovely. Ryanair flights from LBA gets you there for 11:30am and returns at 13:25 which meant I was back in the house for 4:30pm. Perfect. Flights cost £198 priority boarding with Ryanair. No checked in bags.
We got a Flixbus to Vienna for the day which cost £11 return for each of us. Takes an hour and gets you into the central station. (I bought these online before our trip.) You then have to get a U1metro 3 stops to the centre (Stevensplatz). Cost £4 return for the 2 of us. I’d define recommend a city break to Bratislava.
