BRATISLAVA IN ONE DAY
The Slovak capital has become one of the must-see European visits given its location and its recreational-cultural offer. Many take the opportunity to visit it after passing through Vienna (it is only 65km away), and although the Austrian city takes the cake in terms of culture, Bratislava improves over the years, like good wine. Do you dare to travel to Bratislava in a day?
In the morning
Arrived at the banks of the Danube, Bratislava welcomes us with open arms. It is a small city, so you won't have to run from one place to another to explore the entire city. You should enjoy it with just a few and get lost in its pedestrian streets. To start, you can walk to the main square and discover the famous statue of Napoleon. They say that his troops were in Bratislava on two occasions and that the general fell in love with a Slovak nurse, so he decided to stay and live there.
“It is advisable to take a tour of the city to learn about its history. We are supporters of the gymkhana in Bratislava, so you will learn different curiosities of the city with that competitive edge and of course with guaranteed laughter.”
Where to eat
The normal thing in Slovak cuisine is to eat a soup and a meat main course due to its orography and climate. Typical dishes include bryndzové halusky (potatoes with sheep's cheese and fried bacon on top) and pirohy (pasta filled with sheep's cheese or meat).
Some recommendations are the Slovak Pub (62 Obchodna Street) or the Sladovña (1 Sedlárska Street), although if what you are looking for are cheaper prices, for less than €4 You can taste a menu at the Segner Lounge.
In the afternoon
With a full stomach, the options are diverse. On the one hand, you cannot leave Bratislava without visiting its famous blue church. Its peculiar color gives the ecclesiastical building a different aura that delights amateur photographers. However, a little further away is the Danube Museum. Its exhibitions are usually interesting, and the building itself is worth a walk. Its crystals will allow you to see the Danube in full splendor and will make you fly through its waters.
“Remember that from Bratislava you can find very cheap flights to other European cities due to its location. For less than €10 you can visit Berlin or Budapest”
At night
Night options are varied and very appetizing in the Slovak capital. Despite its size, Bratislava is home to numerous pubs and the atmosphere is very fun. If you want to try something different, the Gallery Andy It may be an option given its decoration in the style of Andy Warhol (although the famous artist was born in the US, his entire family was Slovak). On the other hand, if you want to try craft beer, the Bratislavsky Mestiansky Pivovar It will be quite a discovery! And if you want to do a mix of bars accompanied by an expert of the night, the best option will be a pub crawl.
