This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Bratislava remains
the only guide dedicated to this compact and increasingly popular
city. Split into ten easy-to-follow chapters, the guide covers
everything from local politics and cultural etiquette in the
opening sections, followed by information on planning, practical
information, local transport (including the new bike-sharing
scheme), accommodation, eating and drinking, entertainment,
nightlife, sports and shopping. City walks are also included,
focusing on the main sights and beyond, plus sightseeing, from
castles and palaces to museums, galleries, churches, gardens and
parks. Beyond the city itself there are sections on Devin, Cerveny
Kamen, Ancient Gerulata, Rusovce, the Small Carpathian Wine Route,
Senec, Piestany Spa, Trnava and Kosice. There are also useful
reference sections on language (pronunciation and words and
phrases) and sources of further information. The legendary Casanova
knew Bratislava and declared it 'the most beautiful city in
Europe', and he knew a thing or two about beauty. Situated by the
mighty Danube River and nestling in the Small Carpathian Mountains,
Bratislava is a good-looking capital filled with good-looking
people who seem to be enjoying life. This is a city which
effortlessly blends history with hedonism, where world-class
restaurants have been joined by a clutch of quality coffee houses
and literary tea and bookshops. Bratislava's small size is
satisfying: it's compact and visitor-friendly with many superbly
curated museums and not one but two opera houses, rivalling those
in Budapest and Vienna. In short, Bratislava is the perfect
destination for a weekend break, a romantic city break, a family
holiday or as a base from where to discover the underrated
attractions in the rest of Slovakia, and with Bradt's Bratislava
you'll have everything you need for a successful trip.
