Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava is filled with baroque city palaces that have been lovingly restored and is dominated by an enormous castle that sits 300 feet above the Danube. After decades of communist rule, Bratislava is once again transforming itself into one of central Europe's most vibrant cities. See St. Martin's Cathedral in the historic Old Town, Michael's Gate and the neoclassic Archbishop's Palace as well as centuries-old squares filled with shops and cafes.

Attractions

Visit 13th-century Bratislava Castle, which offers a breathtaking view of three countries, the Gothic cathedral of St Martin, site of the coronation of many Hungarian kings and queens. On your own, explore the Old Town Hall and the stunning Mirbach Palace.

Currency

The Slovak unit of currency is the Slovenska koruna (SKK), or Slovak crown.
