About Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia is a youthful, exciting place to be. The majestic river Danube snakes through the city center, while the Old Town is filled with churches, markets, and museums and the imposing bulk of the city's medieval castle. Although it's an ancient city, Bratislava also has plenty of modern architecture to enjoy, along with acres of green space and promenades along the river. Then there's the beer - some of the best you'll taste anywhere in Europe.
