Bratislava Discovery: Bunkers (from Vienna)
Bratislava Discovery: Bunkers (from Vienna)
Past-era discoveries and open networking night in Bratislava, Slovakia, conveniently starting and ending at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof). After arriving in Bratislava's Petržalka suburb by direct train, we'll first head to the corn fields near the Austrian border to scout hidden WW2 bunkers and an iron curtain memorial site. Underway, we'll also look for the now-defunct tracks of the old ViedenskĆ” električka tram which until 1935 hauled theatre-goers and coffee lovers all the way to Vienna downtown. After so much history, it's time for early dinner. Fast-forward to a local restaurant in Bratislava's quaint downtown with tasty, reasonably-priced Slovak food and beer. Full and satisfied, we'll continue on to the [International Night Bratislava](https://bratislava.ixpat.com/internationalnight) for networking, games and fun. Right after this social highlight, we'll hop on our train back to Vienna, arriving shortly before midnight. Total time: Half-day Language: English Bring: Valid Passport/Visa or EU-National ID Card (driver's license doesn't count as travel ID) Wear: Seasonal outfit, rain gear depending on weather **Value and booking** Price includes train roundtrip, local transit and friendly host.
