Bratislava
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia with a prime location on the banks of the Danube River, surrounded by lush vineyards and mountains with hiking trails. We would definitely recommend Bratislava to history buffs and also couples; there’s a romantic feel to the city with fairy-tale style castles and romantic towns to admire and explore. The city also boasts bustling markets, pastel coloured buildings, a trendy nightlife, and hearty Slovakian cuisine.
A trip to Bratislava is incomplete without setting your sights on the mesmerising Bratislava Castle, which is set on a hillside above the city’s historic centre. This iconic landmark has been rebuilt throughout several historic eras, and now contains the Slovak National Museum with a collection of important historical relics. Another must-see landmark is Slavín – Central Europe’s largest war memorial featuring a memorial for Soviet soldiers from World War II’s liberation of Bratislava.
There are also some fantastic leisure opportunities in Bratislava; you could head up the UFO bridge observation deck for panoramic views of the city, spend the day at the Eurovea waterfront for shopping and scenic strolls along the promenade, explore the narrow streets of the city’s old town, and experience a scenic Danube River cruise. Book cheap Bratislava holidays with Brightsun and look forward to a plethora of unique adventures.
