Highlights
Treat yourself to an unforgettable tasting experience while you are in Bratislava! Alcohol plays a significant role in the culture of Slovakia. Important thing to know when it comes to drinking in Slovakia is that some locally distilled spirits may be stronger than what you are used to. Among distinguished Slovak spirits, the most famous and favourite is Slivovitz - a plum brandy, commonly known as Palinka (52 %). Palinka could have variety of flavours, such as pear, apple, cherry, peach, apricot etc. These spirits are produced according to the old proven recipes. Their delicious taste can be described as a kind of aphrodisiac for the body and soul. Another popular distillate is local gin Borovicka (40 %), it is made from fermented juniper berries with the addition of fine quality alcohol. The result is gentle and delicate gin. Na zdravie!

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.
