The capital city of Slovakia – Bratislava

It is situated in the south-west of Slovakia stretches on both banks of the Danube and in the foothills of the Little Carpathian Mts. This strategically important place has often played a big role in the history of central Europe.The most attractive part of Bratislava is the Old Town where the most historical sights as well as cultural institutions are concentrated. Its tiny lanes offer an ideal atmosphere for romantic walks to those who love to follow signs of history in the middle of modern world.The significant structures in the historic centre of the city are all parts of the Monument Town Reserve.
