A small city with a bubbly personality, Bratislava is one of Eastern Europe's most attractive and welcoming cities. Each year it attracts huge numbers of visitors thanks to its myriad of attractions and its friendly residents. Visitors to the city run the gamut from culture vultures looking to enjoy all that the city's historical centre has to offer, to the partygoers who come to Bratislava to sample its far from insubstantial nightlife.

It's a small and extremely friendly city. There is enough to do here to fill 3 days at least. Don't miss the view from the Slavin Monument. It's well worth going near Xmas as this is the best market I have ever been to. It's all locals with extremely local produce. I absolutely loved it.
A unique mix of old styling with comunism grey and sad memories. Fog around the city helps to make this atmosphere!
Insider Tip:Free tour guide everyday at 11am on principal platz (look for guide w/ orange or green identify). Barrock its a great bar of rock (live on saturdays at least), w/ good beer, staff and wifi free ;)
The city is really small, I wouldn't recommend staying there for more than one day, there's not much to see and on weekdays there's almost no nightlife.
