Great citybreak! - Bratislava

Since Easyjet started flying direct to Bratislava from London a few months ago there is now a cheap and direct way of getting to this emerging capital city of Slovakia.

Bratislava is a excellent place to go for a couple of nights citybreak, and we had a great time. We got the feeling that tourism is quite a new thing for this city, no tourist shops selling tacky souvenirs, no group city tours were available at the time we visited because there weren't enough tourists and no drunken stag parties like its neighbour Prague, infact if you hurry, for a while at least, you can have Bratislava all to yourself!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Cheap, clean, interesting and different
  • Cons:Cold in winter
  • In a nutshell:Visit before everyone else starts to!

    Good tips. Hopefully the stag parties won't have made it there by our visit!

    Hi Amanda. I just checked your Bratislava pages and noticed that we could have been there at the same time. We where there from 25th Nov to 28th. I share your feelings.
