Slovakia’s capital Bratislava sits smack bang between Hungary and Austria, and it is easy to reach by car or train from Munich, Vienna or Prague. There is lots of culture, and if you are a fan of nature, you can already see the Little Carpathians from viewpoints in the city. Bratislava has a picture-perfect old town with cornices, bay windows and magnificent entrances. Many facades are either painted in gaudy lolly colours or softly decorated in pastel. In the old town, the streets are lively with restaurant-goers, and café and pub visitors. It is a vibrant atmosphere, and there is lots going on all over town.
