Getting There

Car
If you're traveling by car, start from your location in Lake Neusiedl and head towards the A4 motorway. Follow the signs for Vienna, and merge onto the A4. Continue on the A4 until you reach the border with Slovakia. After crossing the border, take the exit 1 toward Bratislava-Centrum. Follow the signs to Hlavné námestie. Maximilian's Fountain is located in the main square of the Old Town, which is a pedestrian area, so parking will be limited. Look for parking options nearby, as you may need to walk a short distance to reach the fountain.

For those using public transportation, take a train from Lake Neusiedl to Bratislava. The journey typically takes around 1 hour. Once you arrive at the Bratislava Hlavná Stanica (main train station), you can catch tram number 1 or bus number 93 towards 'Hlavné námestie'. After approximately 15 minutes, disembark at the Hlavné námestie stop. From there, it's a short walk to Maximilian's Fountain, located directly in the square. Ensure you have a valid ticket, as fares vary depending on the route.
