Bratislava, Slovakia
\nJune 2023<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were so glad that we added a day in Bratislava to our Central Europe itinerary, as this was one of my favorite places! Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and is located along the picturesque Danube River. I’ve added a map that pinpoints Bratislava, since you may be like me and not know exactly where it is \ud83d\ude09. As you can see, Bratislava borders both Hungary and Austria, so it was literally on our way as we travelled from Budapest to Vienna. We stayed just one night in an Airbnb on the ninth floor with a great view of Bratislava and the castle.<\/p>\n

Bratislava is very compact, and in one day we were able to wander around Old Town, walk along the Danube River, go up the UFO Tower to see some great views, and visit the Bratislava castle grounds as the sun started to set.<\/p>\n

Strolling Around Town<\/h3>\n

Bratislava is made for strolling. The pedestrian-only Old Town is very picturesque, and is known for its cobblestone streets, quirky art, lively bars and caf\u00e9s, and its gourmet ice cream treats. We also strolled along the Danube riverbank through the more modern riverside park with luxury condos, bridges and restaurants.<\/p>\n
