On the Danube river, just a stone's throw from the Czech Republic, lies Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Influenced by the nearby Vienna (60km), "the pearl of Danube" is a fascinating small city where history goes side by side with a modern style of living. This is also why the Viennese come here to spend an evening at the opera or enjoy a good lunch.
Bratislava is surrounded by picturesque winemaking estates offering a great opportunity to taste wine together with delicious Slovak country fare.
We recommend you to combine your holiday with a day excursion to the nearby Vienna.
