Experience Slovakia – what not to miss

The best way to see this compact capital is by strolling around the city soaking up the atmosphere of the Old Town, admiring the many beautiful baroque palaces and landmarks. Be sure not to miss the Town Hall, dating back to the 14th century or St. Martin's Cathedral, a fine example of Gothic architecture. Whilst in the cathedral, the Chapel of St. John and the crypt are particularly worth visiting.

Take a well-earned break enjoying a drink at one of the many cafes or shop for a souvenir at the local craft stalls. The city is also home to several museums and galleries including the Bratislava City Gallery containing art works from Gothic through to modern day. The Slovak National Gallery is well worth a visit just to admire its neo-classical building and its beautiful setting overlooking the Danube.

Take a walk to one of Bratislava’s most popular tourist destinations, Bratislava Castle, a 15th century castle with great views of the River Danube and the city below. If you’re really into castles, walk a little further to Devin Castle, packed full of historical interest and offering more amazing views of neighbouring Austria from its tower.
