Highlights
Nested on the Danube river between Austria and Hungary, the capital of Slovakia has always been a place of turmoil between Austrians, Croats, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Serbs and Slovaks. The city itself was only baptized as Bratislava in 1919 and was formerly known with the Germanic name of Pressburg. Today the city oozes style, culture and history, with its baroque architecture, music and art. Come with us to know in detail the Coronation Church where Hungarian royalty were once crowned, to discover medieval walls of St. Michael's Gate and the many picturesque human-size sculptures scattered all over the Old Town. This city will leave an impression, giving you many opportunities for some memorable pictures.

About Bratislava
Bratislava is Slovakia's capital on the Danube, a small city of a hilltop castle, a pedestrian old town, quirky statues and vineyards close by.
Bratislava lies on both banks of the Danube close to the Austrian and Hungarian borders, about an hour from Vienna. Its castle, a white four-towered building on a ridge, looks over the river and the old town below. The pedestrian old town has pastel baroque palaces, the Michael's Gate tower, and St Martin's Cathedral, where Hungarian kings were crowned from the 16th to the 19th century, when Pozsony, as it was then known, was the Hungarian capital.
Top-ranked sights in Bratislava: Bratislava Castle (Bratislavsky Hrad), Bratislava Old Town (Stare Mesto), Slavín.
