It's almost time for my next trip!
Hey everyone!
So this is just a super quick blog post to say that I’m off on my next trip tomorrow and I am SO FRIKKIN EXCITED!! This is the first time I’ll be doing a city break without my sister, and will be travelling with my wonderful friend and fellow travel blogger Lucy instead! Lucy and I have known each other for just over a year now, we first met at Traverse 16 and then attended UK Blog Awards together, and have become firm friends and stayed in constant touch since then. I’m sure you’re already following her fab blog, but if you aren’t, head over to Faraway Lucy now to SUBSCRIBE!
Tomorrow Lucy and I will be meeting at Birmingham airport before jumping on a flight to Bratislava for two nights – we have no idea what to expect from this little known city (everyone I’ve spoke to has asked me where it is?! ITS SLOVAKIA PEOPLE!) but we’re looking forward to exploring as soon as we get there. We’ve heard the castle, old town square and the cute little churches are particular highlights, but send us your recommendations so we can plan!
On Thursday we’ll be saying goodbye to Bratislava and catching a train to the Austrian capital of Vienna where we’ll stay for a further two nights. The two of us have ALWAYS wanted to go to Vienna and are sooo excited to be hitting up the sights when we get there. We’re really looking forward to checking out the opera houses, one of the many beautiful palaces, and we’ll also try and sneak in a cheeky visit to Prater Park, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world!
We’ll also be working with the Vienna and Bratislava tourist boards during our trip, so watch out for special social media and blog posts coming soon! As always, you can follow my adventures on my social channels, which I’ll be updating wherever possible, so keep an eye out on my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages over the next few days! So again, if you have any blog posts, inspo ideas or recommendations for either Bratislava or Vienna PLEASE send them over to me and Lucy, we can’t wait to plan our trips! See you on the other side!

You’ll love Brat – I’d recommend a drink or two at the UFO Cafe/bar at the top of Most SNP – you’ll not miss it as it dominates the town. If you fancy a walk, the trip uphill to the Slavin monument is good for views. Enjoy!
Thank you for your comment! It’s our first proper day today and we’re planning to explore everything so will include those tips too! So excited! Jess x
Be sure to check out Naschmarkt in Vienna – it’s a great market that also has a lot of really good restaurants!
Thanks so much for your comment! Sadly we didn’t have chance to check out the Naschmarkt, where abouts was it located? It sounds amazing! We were staying in MuseumsQuartier! Jess x
It’s in Wieden – it really is a great market, with over 100 stalls and its been around for quite some time. Next time 🙂
Ah amazing I’ll have to put it on my list and visit it if I ever return to Vienna! Jess x
