Bratislava was probably the friendliest place I've ever been. As soon as we arrived at the train station, we went to the tourist office, and a very helpful lady arranged accommodation for us, in an apartment near the centre of the city, as well as giving us other useful information. 10 minutes later, the owner of the apartment arrived to pick us up, and drove us and our baggage all the way there, for no extra charge. The apartment was superb, a huge room, with little galley kitchen, WC, and bathroom, and a supermarket nearby (sadly, Tesco's). The Danube was 10 minutes walk away, as was the Main Square and the Christmas Markets (yes, more!). |
