Vienna to Bratislava by Train + Hanging out with Drew Binsky

Come join us as we travel from Vienna to Bratislava by train (€19 total for both of us) while spontaneously meeting up with our friends Drew Binsky and Deanna Sallao. We got to spend a bit of time with them in Vienna, Austria but wanted to hang out more. Fortunately, I spotted Drew's Chicago Cubs hat on the train and we ended up having a chance to grab a beer with them quickly in Bratislava, Slovakia before they headed off to Budapest, Hungary that same day. I have a lot in common with Drew - former English teachers in South Korea, gingers, Chicago sports fans, video creators and travel addicts. Be sure to check out the videos he creates with Deanna on facebook and follow them on instagram and other platforms:

Going from Vienna to Bratislava by train was the easiest travel day of this year in Europe. A direct route that was barely over an hour long it felt more like a city commute, in terms of total time, than going to a different place. Other options in terms of getting from Vienna to Bratislava include a short bus ride and a longer more scenic river cruise. Arriving by boat would be a lot more fun but it also takes more time and costs more money. We decided to go the efficient route of taking the train and would recommend that as well. We always prefer the train over buses if it is roughly around the same price. The total ticket price came to 19 Euros for the two of us.
