Vienna and Bratislava are united not only by the waterway that is formed by the Danube but also by a direct link via motorway since the end of 2007.

The per capita gross domestic product is 129 per cent of the EU average. Already from the 1980s, numerous large-scale projects have been planned and in part have also been put into practice already. Currently, active building can be observed in Bratislava near the banks of the Danube, the region around the main train station, the former industrial zone next to the historic city centre and the city districts of Petrћalka, Nové Mesto und Ruћinov.
