You have probably heard the word Bratislava before. You might even know that is actually a city somewhere in the Eastern Europe. But a very few people know that Bratislava, the cosy capital of Slovakia, is a very appealing town with unique and well preserved Old Town and history reaching back to the times before the Christ was born.

Our Little Big City was hidden behind the Iron Curtain for many years. But even the long rule of the Communist regime did not manage to destroy the unique character of the city on the Danube. Bratislava has been unveiling herself lately and is becoming a very popular tourist destination. With major low-cost airlines adding Bratislava to their destination list, more and more visitors keep finding out what a gem Bratislava is.

The medieval Old Town is quite small, but it is packed with historic sights, small shops and pleasant cafes, restaurants and pubs creating a unique atmosphere. It is great just to sit in one of the cafes and soak up the spirit of the place.

Unlike in the overcrowded glamorous neighboring cities of Prague, Vienna and Budapest, you can actually enjoy the local flavors in Bratislava. Come and experience the unique atmosphere of our Little Big City.
