Bratislava

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia (Slovak Republic) and is one of the youngest capitals in Europe since the country was formed in 1993 after the fall of communism and the peaceful split with the Czech Republic, the city is fast becoming an East European hotspot, a city of some 450,000 inhabitants located on the river Danube at the foothills of the Little Carpathians. Bratislava is an ideal destination for short city breaks with the 'Old Town' being the liveliest part of the city that has an abundance of fine restaurants, chic clubs and a cool cosmopolitan culture.

Must see sights include: the impressive Art Nouveau St Elizabeth Church, the Slovak National Theatre and the Bratislava Castle that overlooks the city.

Bratislava is known as the “Beauty on the Danube”

People who live in or who come from Bratislava are called Bratislavans

    Nice photo of the changing of the guards! The Folk evening I would have enjoyed, always like seeing people in their traditional costume, and hearing their music. Nice page!

    Hi Graham, Shame I did not know you were heading to Bratislava, I would have asked you to find an old acquaintance. Nice city, isn't it?

    Graham, Fabulous start here. You seem to be one of the few people who didn't stay in the Hotel Kiev. ;-)
