Stunning Places to Visit in Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovakia
Once I’d booked my flights and started researching places to visit in Bratislava, I quickly became discouraged. There seemed little of note to see, and much less chatter on social media and travel blogs about the wonders of this hidden European gem. I solicited recommendations on a few occasions and was met with sullen silence.

This baroque beauty has more than enough hidden treasures to keep you entertained for 48 hours.

If you don’t fancy walking, you can jump on the city train (pick it up in the main square by the church) and take a one-hour tour of the Old Town for €10. Headphones are provided and commentary is available in 11 languages. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
