Places to visit in Bratislava
The landmark you really shouldn't miss is without doubt Devín Castle, a ruin on a mountain with fantastic views over the Danube and Morava river. The unique thing about this site is that from the vantage point, you can see remnants of the historic Iron Curtain. Here's a handy tip: make sure to pack sturdy walking shoes for the climb. Book worms will be in their element at the Bratislava City Gallery, housing ‘the Passage’: an illusionary endless room full of books, considered unique by many experts. One thing’s for sure - there’s plenty to explore in this impressive city!
Discover Bratislava
Like many other cities and capitals in central Europe, Bratislava has a rich and fascinating history. When Bratislava was declared the capital for the third time some 25 years ago - on this occasion, the capital of the Slovak Republic - the city made a real effort to become more alluring to tourists. And that work paid off! Today, Bratislava is a popular city break destination. Following a series of restorations, the historic old town is now extremely photogenic and atmospheric, with terraces where, for an affordable price, you can enjoy a drink or a bite to eat.
