Bratislava

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, the second of the three capital cities we will visit on the cruise.



It's also the capital of Slovak culture and sports, displaying the multi-ethic makeup of the country.  Food, music and the arts have strong German, Hungarian, and Jewish influences.


There's even a white water rafting center on the Danube, about a half hour outside of the city.

Old Town Bratislava
We'll be focused on the heart of old town Bratislava.  Many of the key sites are only steps from our dock:

A = Dock
B = Hviezdoslavovo Square
C = St. Martin's Cathedral
D = St. Michael's Gate
E = Grassalkovich Palace
F = Old Town Hall/Main Square
G = Primatial Palace
H = National Theatre
