Bratislava the capital of Slovakia
It was love at first sight for me. The city has everything a tourist would want. Most people head to Prague or Vienna but I have been there many times. So I wanted a change.

I stayed at the Ibis centre hotel which was beside the old town.
Not bad digs--100euros for a single room for 2 nights.

I arrived at lunch time. Threw my bags in and walked to the Old Town.
Stare Mesto (as the locals call it) is charming, walkable, and full of strange statues to surprise you around a lot of corners. Everything leads to Hlavné námestie. Which means Town Square.

Did you know Bratislava was known as Pressburg Until 1919? It had been part of Hungary for 1000 years. I grew up with Czech Republic and Slovakia being one country.
River cruise stop on the river Danube. Which flows through the city.
