DAY 4:
Bratislava
Featured Excursion: Bratislava city tour
A tour through Bratislava will acquaint you with a sampling of the town’s eclectic architecture of gothic, baroque and Art Deco styles. Bratislava has been aptly named the “Coronation City of Kings” and you’ll discover why as you walk along the sidewalks where there are little golden crowns in the pavement identifying the route of the coronation procession of eleven kings and eight royal spouses over the centuries. You’ll also pass the 17th-century palace that now serves as the seat of the Slovakian government, Old Town’s Freedom Square and Peace Square, Mirbach Palace and Primatial Palace. (BB, L, D)

Situated at the confluence of three rivers, Passau’s wealth through trade is reflected in the medieval merchant’s houses that we pass when walking to the baroque St. Stephan’s Cathedral, home to Europe’s largest pipe organ. Passau’s Italian-baroque buildings, erected after the big fire of 1662, match the historic center with its winding little streets and narrow alleyways, which lead us back to St. Stephan’s for an organ concert.
