Here we are in beautiful and picturesque Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia! One of the neighbors cities located on the Danube River, along with Budapest, Vienna etc. It is the only capital of a European state that is located almost on the border with another State (Austria) while the Carpathian mountain range starts within the city area with the small Carpathian Mountains (Malé Karpaty), where villages are worth visiting.

Bratislava, situated in the south-west of Slovakia stretches on both banks of the Danube and in the foothills of the Little Carpathian, once a city of Austria Hungary, has kept the classic and gothic style and architecture that all the cities in the area had on those times! The pedestrian and cobblestone streets of the old town will amaze you with its colors and beautiful pictures! Favorite destination for a mini getaway or city break which can be ideally combined with a visit to Vienna and Budapest!
