The Experience
What your day looks like
Nested on the Danube river between Austria and Hungary, the capital of Slovakia has always been a place of turmoil between Austrians, Croats, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Serbs, and Slovaks. The city itself was only baptized as Bratislava in 1919 and was formerly known by the Germanic name of Pressburg. Today the city oozes style, culture, and history, with its baroque architecture, music, and art. Come with us to know in detail about the Coronation Church where Hungarian royalty was once crowned, to discover the medieval walls of St. Michael's Gate and the many picturesque human-size sculptures scattered all over the Old Town. This city will leave an impression, giving you many opportunities for some memorable pictures.
