The ideal European city discovery for the discerning traveller, Slovakia’s capital city of Bratislava is rapidly earning a reputation as one of the continent’s gems.
With its engaging blend of age-old architecture through its cobbled Old Town, set against the unusual flourishes of its soviet-era buildings – most notably the unusual ‘UFO’ revolving restaurant atop the Danube River bridge -, Bratislava offers a wealth of charm. Better still, Bratislava is the gateway to some of Europe’s most untouched natural scenery heading into the Carpathians.
