Bratislava on foot and a small part with the TschuTschu Bahn.
Many sights but also stark differences between new and old and run down.
60000 students study and live here.
Average wage 1250 euros, everything is relatively cheap.
A large cappuccino costs 1.70 euros, for example, but it's really a pot💪💪
All in all a beautiful city

June 4, 2022,Bratislava: Wanderung zur Burg und die Donau entlang -04.05.2022

Bratislava is, at least as far as the tourist corners are concerned - small and manageable. There's the castle and the old town, and it's there and in between that the main historical buildings are concentrated - and the tourists. Bratislava is at least one party mile from Vienna.
On the other hand, it is a charming town - also …

Bratislava is a very interesting, photogenic city. There are lots of well-preserved frescoes on old houses and lots of sculptures are standing around all over the place. In addition, many small shops and snack options. Perfect city for strolling and discovering things.

Unfortunately we didn't have much more than 4 hours for the city. So first we went to the castle. I actually wanted to walk around the castle. The paths in the castle are a bit like a labyrinth! Lots of dead ends! But beautiful views of the surrounding area. Then down to the famous old town and finally to the …

My mother's birthday present: a trip on the Twin City Liner to Bratislava, including a city tour with a tasting. The trip is fun; we see the Danube Canal from a new perspective. Once on the Danube, the boat picks up speed considerably; the trip takes a total of 70 minutes. Bratislava isn't very big, and the Old Town is …

It was very quiet in October. The streets were not crowded. Hardly any tourists in the market halls. We liked that very much.
Two days should be planned for a visit to the Slovakian capital city

car & parking:
free parking is also available at Prezidentský palác and Banskobystrická street at weekends.

In beautiful weather, I explored Bratislava's historic old town on foot today. ☀️
Since the city is quite small for a capital city, I was able to see a lot, and overall, it was a very pleasant and relaxing walk. I especially enjoyed the view of the city from the castle. 🤩
