Bratislava is a capital of Slovakia situated in the Centre of Europe in a triangle of 3 capital cities: Vienna is a mere 60 km away, Prague 300 km and Budapest 200 km. Wheather you fly, arrive by boat along the River Danube, or by car or train, getting there is quick and easy. Bratislava is the gateway to Slovakia, both practically and symbolically.
Walking around Bratislava you will discover that it really is a "little big city". The intimate and compact ancient city centre, which is home to most of the city’s cultural and historical monuments, is an exclusively pedestrian zone. Many say it is more beautiful than the old Prague.
