#bucketlistreboot Bratislava Castle Perhaps one of the better places you can even consider finishing your day would be the Bratislava Castle. The castle building includes four towers (one on each corner) and a courtyard with a 80 m (260 ft) deep water well. The castle’s site, like today’s city, has been inhabited for thousands of years, because it is strategically located in the center of Europe at a passage between the Carpathians and the Alps, at an important ford used to cross the Danube river, and at an important crossing of central European ancient (trade) routes running from the Balkans or the Adriatic Sea to the Rhine river or the Baltic Sea, the most important route being the Amber Route. #bratislava #slovakia
