Bratislava is perhaps one of the few cities in the world, if not the only one, whose name was decided by a public competition. Until a few years ago considered a city of passage for those who wanted to go to Vienna or Budapest and were looking for a low-cost flight, today the Slovak capital is a destination of first order for those looking for a nice neat, clean, quiet town full of things to see, lots of young people and a nice evening movement.

The Old Town of Bratislava is perfectly preserved and entirely pedestrian, gathered around the Main Square where markets, revolts and executions took place over the centuries. Today it is dominated by the Town Hall with the tower and, above all, the restaurants and bars where Slovaks and tourists sip beers at every hour of the day of each day of the year.
Curiosity: according to a legend, the statue of Massimiliano II turns around and begins to walk backwards!

It is absolutely to do climbing up the futuristic bridge over the Danube called New Bridge. You have the impression of climbing on a UFO spacecraft as the inhabitants call it, suspended over Bratislava. The lift that leads up is really fast so you can grab a panoramic beer, eat at the restaurant (luxury one, but not so expensive) or simply admire the view from the platform.
For the evening, therefore, you will not be spoiled for choice: pubs with live music, some big discos, jazz clubs or, if the weather permits, a nice walk along the Danube.

The bronze statues scattered around the historic center of Bratislava are a truly unexpected sight. They are in evolution: every now and then some appears. And to think that everything was born as an economic and sympathetic way to revitalize the center after the fall of Communism. Today they have become one of the most important tourist attractions of the Slovak city. You surely won't miss a selfie with them!
About sleeping suggestions, we recommend the Sheraton Hotel, few minutes walking to the Eurovea Galleria, not only a usual shopping center with its tower above the Danube.
