Bratislava Discovery: Castlemania (from Vienna)

Medieval fortress exploration and open international networking night in Bratislava, Slovakia, conveniently starting and ending at Vienna Main Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof).

After getting off the train just outside Bratislava, we'll jump on a quick bus to the Danube/Morava confluence, where Devín castle looms tall and proud at on a strategic rock. Acknowledging its mighty presence from the in- and outside, we'll go look for the nearby Freedom Gate memorial and stroll through quaint and picturesque Devín village. A local bus then whisks us downstream into present-age downtown where we sneak up Bratislava Castle on a hidden pathway to enjoy an unparalleled panorama over the capital.

Early dinner will be had at the modern Eurovea Mall food court with plenty of Slovak and international choices at your own taste/budget (or just bring your own food).

Full and satisfied, we'll continue on to the International Night Bratislava for networking, games and fun. Right after this social highlight, we'll hop on our train back to Vienna, arriving shortly before midnight.
