Bratislava rests on the banks of the Danube River, inviting globetrotters to explore its rich history and intriguing architecture. Discover the cultural and historical intersection of a city once part of the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Hapsburg Monarchy before emerging as the capital of an independent Slovakia in 1993, carving its own path after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
The city's historic Old Town, meticulously restored to its former glory, boasts several baroque palaces, elegant squares, and narrow winding streets that will lead you to a captivating maze of exploration. Enjoy a lively tapestry of cafes, bars, and restaurants and indulge in the city's diverse culinary influences amidst the architectural grandeur.
Embrace Bratislava's diverse cultural heritage, shaped by many ethnic and religious groups, including Germans, Slovaks, Hungarians, and Jews. This rich mosaic adds depth and character to the city's identity, evident in its art, traditions, and local customs.
Wander through Bratislava's Old Town and discover the two main squares, each with a unique charm.
