To go to Bratislava went to the Vienna station Sudbahnhof to catch the train, which takes about 70 minutes. Leaves a virtually every hour connecting the two capitals. The return ticket costs ten euros and is very useful because it also be used to move public transport Bratislava for 24 hours. Since Slovakia entered the European Union, the train does not stop at the border and must not show any documentation. Upon arriving at the station Bratislava you can take bus 93 or tram 13 to get downtown. To fly direct from Spain you can find a cheap flight with Air Europa or Spanair . Bratislava
rises on both banks of the Danube and its picturesque old town is protected by a hill about 100 meters Castle crowned of the city. The four towers of the fort are recognizable from across the capital and the interior houses a Museum . Since the Middle Ages this hill rises in a defensive bastion, although the present castle is a reconstruction of 1950.
From Bratislava Castle obtained the best views of the city. You can see the colorful streets of the historic center scattering at the foot of the hill and across the Danube can see the huge concrete blocks of the communist era. Also struck by the Novy Most bridge , a jewel of 1972 Soviet flying saucer-shaped crossing the Danube . High on a restaurant balcony.
already in the historical center is worth lost in its narrow pedestrian streets and in summer enjoy a beer on the terraces of the bars. At this time of year the terraces give way to a magnificent Christmas market in Plaza del Ayuntamiento . It is a traditional market where stalls with Christmas ornaments and paraphernalia living with food stalls, perfect for a snack sausage Slovak or other treats. The Punch , mulled wine is also present in every corner. This market is always crowded and at nightfall carolers on stage.
But the landmark is the historic center of San Martin Cathedral, built in the fifteenth century in a mixture of Gothic and Nordic. It was a place of coronation for the kings of Hungary for several centuries and 85-meter tower also served as a defensive bastion of the city. Curious
statues like that of a worker out of a sewer or a paparazzi crouched behind a corner adorn the walk through the streets of downtown. The statue of the sewer surprised us is identical to one we saw in the Siberian city of Omsk during our journey on the Trans-Siberian. La Puerta de San Miguel , another icon of the eighteenth century city is the main entrance to the historic center.
Outside the Old Town you can stroll along the banks of the Danube through the beautiful National Theater building , nineteenth century, and revel in the neo-baroque Reduta Palace, home of the Slovak Philharmonic.
Memorial also highlights the Slovak National Uprising , a good dose of realism, which commemorates the Soviet victory over Nazism in World War II. Near the sculpture is the Obchodna street, the most commercial area with shopping and crossed by trams.
restaurant Prasna Just in the historical center, is highly recommended for dinner. It is an old Slovak cozy tavern with good food and not too expensive prices. After an enormous dinner beat us went to the train station to return to Vienna.
