Bratislava is only about an hour and a half from Vienna, and is well worth a detour to, or a stopover via if you are en route to Budapest. If you are staying for a couple of days or more then I would recommend the Slovak Spectator, a fortnightly publication in English, which has details of events in Bratislava, although the style is dreary. For great views, climb up to the castle and look down over the Danube, or take the lift up the SNP - looks like one of The Tripods... and there are great views other the city. For a weekend trip some hotels offer discoutned rooms and in any case prices are cheap so Bratislava is a budget destination. The hydrofoil from Vienna takes 90 minutes to get to Bratislava and costs about GBP 12, leaving from the Reichsbrücke on the Danube Canal in Vienna, running from mid-April to the end of October. Otherwise there are equally quick bus and trains from Vienna to Bratislava, with prices around GBP12 for a return ticket.
