Did You Know?
Bratislava and Vienna are about 55 kilometres apart, the shortest distance between any two national capitals in Europe. A commuter boat runs down the Danube between them in a little over an hour.
The clock: both keep UTC+1, so the two capitals share a working day entirely — which is part of why the Bratislava–Vienna corridor functions as one labour market.
