Bratislava

Travel to Bratislava in December, and forget about the sun. Don't expect the beauty of Prague either. Bratislava has a quaint old town with a small taste of Hapsburg Baroque architecture. That said, it's a MUST for those who love Eastern Europe like I do.

Taking a walk across the bridge gives you an interesting look at pre-1989 Bratislava.

Pros:"A deeper look at former Czechoslovakia not found in tourist Prague. Nightlife is good enough. Good food. GREAT people."
Cons:"Not as picturesque as Prague. May be daunting to the average tourist. Haunting communist architecture (could be a pro for those interested in the history of the country)."
In A Nutshell:"If you have been to Prague and Budapest, and are ready for something less touristy, Bratislava is the choice."
