City Guide Bratislava, Slovakia

the city is beautiful but quite small. If you want to see it, I would recommend it to see it during a trip where you visit other cities, like Vienna or Budapest, that's what we did in 6 days and it was really great.

Bratislava

really nice city, i would reccomend seeing slavin monument quite a long walk from downtown but great views and a peaceful garden area to reflect etc, good bars, very cheap,if you can find borowicka or grog they are more "traditional" drinks alongside beer of course, slovaks make the best garlic soup in the world! the janko kral park is worth going to, novy most is an interesting bridge, very appealing architectrally, go and see some hockey (if its in season)

Bratislava

Really nice place, not to crowded or busy which is an advantage. The old town part is cool - lots of cobbled streets. There were a few really cool pubs and bars too. Very impressed and we'd definately be returning.

Insider Tip:Flagship restaurant. Best goulash and hot chocolate I've ever had. They make their own cola too which was cool.

A hidden gem of a city

We stopped here for a day as part of an overland trip through Europe, because the city happened to be a point where busses crossed, not knowing anything about the place in advance. We are SO pleased we did, becuase Bratislava is a little gem of a city, with so much to see even in the off season, and very friendly people. It's pretty easy to find your way around, only some people speak English well but everyone is very helpful. We'd go back, but in the summer, as lots of things were closed in the wint

Insider Tip:Don't rely on the tourist information centre - they stock about 3 leaflets and can't really tell you much. Also I'd say go in summer, as many of the museums and parts of the castle were closed for winter renovation. Even when things are closed, the old part of the city is great to walk around and has not been covered in modern signage like so many other cities - great for getting photos. There's a great Slovak restaurant opposite the Raddisson Carlton Hotel in the old town - can't remember the na

WONDERFUL COUNTRY!

Slovakia is truly a wonderful place to visit...I have been here for the second time, coming back again!
