SlovakiaSlovakia

The Slovakian capital of Bratislava is often compared to Vienna, but with fewer visitors. Outdoor cafes line the town square and the historic cobbled-stoned Old Town. Climb a castle turret overlooking the Danube for a panoramic view of the city’s palaces, Baroque and Renaissance buildings, St. Michael’s Gate, and St. Martin’s Cathedral.

Highlights

  1. Bratislava

    Aerial view of BratislavaBratislava, the capital of Slovakia, sits along the Danube River and is the only capital in the world that borders two countries: Austria and Hungary. This 18th-century town is full of charming cafes and energetic bars, all surrounded by the Little Carpathian Mountains, sweeping vineyards, and a plethora of hiking trails for those who want to get active and explore nature! Don't forget to visit the well-known Bratislava Castle, perched atop a hill that overlooks the entire capital city and the Danube River.

  2. Charming Castles

    Bratislava CastleSlovakia has more than 100 castles and even more grand chateaux dotting the country's land. Due to Slovakia's central location in Europe, it was a very populated area back in the Middle Ages that was prone to invasions; therefore, numerous castles were needed for defense. As a result, Slovakians see their castles as true national treasures. Be sure to visit the incredible Spiš Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest castle complexes in central Europe; the romantic Bojnice Castle, one of the most visited castles in all of Slovakia; and Bratislava Castle, standing as a symbol of the capital city of Bratislava.
