Bratislava

Travelling from Vienna to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia, by train only takes an hour. Bought the one day Bratislava-Ticket via OEBB kiosk from Vienna train station.It would be cheaper to get there by bus, but we thought of its winter time and for the comfort of the journey with children travelling, we have chosen to get on the train instead. This day tickets also cover all the transportation in Bratislava. Once you get off the Bratislava train station, you can take bus 93 to the city centre, however we have chosen to walk. It's another gloomy day here, I just picked on the touristy spots from google maps (see photo I have attached too) and started the walking journey to the city. We passed by the 1. Mirbach Palace and just in time to see the guard changing ceremony. the walking continues 2. Church of the Annunciation 3. Primate's Palace 4. Old town hall we have a quick brunch at the Five Points Bistro 5. Michael’s Gate 6. Kápitulska Street 7. Pálffy Palace 8. St. Martin’s Cathedral 9. Medieval City Walls 10. House at the Good Shepherd 11. Bratislava Castle - from here you can have a view of the UFO bridge 12. Šafárikovo Square 13. Blue Church 14. Čumil - this has taken us forever to look for it. hidden from the crowds The train station was already crowded (it wasn't a big station) while everyone was waiting to get on their scheduled train. #celebratewithtrip

Bratislava is a very beautiful city where you can enjoy a good day of walking and breaks at its nice cafes. We started at the Obelisk, where you can see an impressive view of the city. Followed by a walk around the city centre and ending in its Castle. I recommend to take your warm clothes if you come around November time. It is not very cold but the humidity from the river can make you feel cold. If so, take a coffee in any of their cafes. Most of them provide warm blankets and very delicious hot chocolate that will help you to keep warm to carry your walk. I personally recommend to stay a day in this city. it is beautiful and if you are a good walker, you can be done in the day. Ah! the Blue Church is definitely a MUST!

Nestled along the scenic banks of the Danube River, Bratislava, Slovakia's capital, is a captivating blend of old-world charm and contemporary allure. My recent journey through this enchanting city was a revelation of hidden treasures and delightful surprises. **Old Town Charms:** Bratislava's heart beats in its Old Town, a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and medieval architecture. St. Martin's Cathedral, an iconic Gothic landmark, stands tall amidst quaint squares and charming cafes. Exploring these winding alleys feels like stepping into a fairy tale, each corner revealing a piece of the city's rich history. **Castle on the Hill:** Perched majestically on a hill overlooking the city, Bratislava Castle is a testament to Slovakia's regal past. The castle, with its imposing white walls and red roofs, offers panoramic views of the Danube and the city below. Inside, museums showcase the country's art, history, and culture, providing a deep dive into Slovakia's heritage. **Culinary Adventures:** Slovak cuisine is a delightful fusion of flavors, and Bratislava's culinary scene is a testament to this. From savory bryndzové halušky (potato dumplings with sheep cheese) to delectable pastries, every meal is a celebration of taste. Cafes offer aromatic Slovak coffee, creating perfect spots for relaxation amidst the city's hustle and bustle. **Riverside Romance:** As the sun sets, the Danube promenade comes alive with a romantic ambiance. Couples and families gather along the riverbanks, enjoying the gentle breeze and the reflection of city lights on the water. It's a serene escape, offering moments of peace and tranquility in the midst of urban life. **Warm Slovak Hospitality:** The true gem of Bratislava lies in its people. Slovaks are incredibly friendly and eager to share their city's stories. Locals' warmth and hospitality enhance the city's charm, making every interaction a delightful experience. **Day Trips and Beyond:** Bratislava's strategic location invites exploration of its surroundings. Day trips to Devin Castle, perched dramatically at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, or visits to the nearby vineyards of the Small Carpathians offer a deeper understanding of the region's diverse offerings. In conclusion, Bratislava is a city that captivates the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Its historical treasures, culinary delights, and warm hospitality make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a perfect blend of tradition and modernity along the Danube's tranquil waters.
