Several people suggested that the best way to get to Bratislava from Vienna was via the Twin City Liner, a hydrofoil that goes along the Danube. The service runs 4-5 times a day in each direction and takes 1 1/4 hours, the current cost is between 16E and 26E each way, the cheaper fares on the early morning boats from Bratislava-Vienna and the late evening boats from Vienna-Bratislava. Tickets can be reserved in advance on the attached website, our boat was full or nearly full so it's a good idea if you have your heart set on taking it. If you reserve online, you should exchange your printout for a ticket at the booth on the pier, we didn't and they still let us on but they said we should have exchanged it.
I didn't think the scenery along the way was anything special, you saw some fishing cottages and foliage along the way but nothing in the way of sights until you approached Bratislava. For me it wasn't worth the 26E ($40US) per person we paid for it, the only good part about it was that the dock is closer to town than the train station, you could easily walk from the dock to the tourist areas.
If you do decide to take the hydrofoil, get to the dock early if you want a window seat, there was already a line forming 45 minutes before the departure time. The best seats, in the front window, were by reservation only. Bring your passport just in case, they didn't check ours either way but signs (maybe they were old) suggested that they were needed. Unless you've got money to burn, consider taking the train back, it was 304sk (around $16US) round trip which was actually less than a 1 way ticket which was 400sk. Leave a Comment

Cruise ships are available for a ride on the Danube. they look beautiful and I guess, their services and cruises must also be great. Some nice photos here taken at night. Theme: Ship/Boat

There are Danube river cruises and riverboats. You can just take leisure cruise as well, there are many options, I did not really have the time to look for those Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Hydrofoil for
Vienna-Bratislava by morgenhund
Prices are currently EUR 22 per person single - it is not as cheap as the train, but is a lot more scenic. Leave a Comment

Public transport is good, many trams and busses. Buy tickets from the machines at the stop and stamp them once on board. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

A good idea is to stay in Vienna and decide for one day Bratislava by hydrofoil. Boatride takes 1 1/2 hrs on the river Danube which is quite a beautiful way to take.
Hydrofoil boat tours
It's possible to visit the old town and the castle in one day by foot. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
