A bit about Bratislava

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and has a population of almost half a million inhabitants. The country is part of the European Community since 2009 and, like most of the countries in  the EU, its currency in the Euro.
The city is crossed by the river Danube and located at the corner Austria, Hungary, Slovakia.
Curiosity: Bratislava and Vienna are the two closest capitals in the world. Just one hour by train.
The also has its own language, the Slovakian, and is very similar to Czech, Polish and has also some influence from the Ukrainian.
Bratislava is a typical European city: young, international, open and very touristic. One won't miss anything on here, there is culture, party, shopping and nature.

Once here one must have a walk through the historical centre...


to visit the castle up in the hill (Bratislavsky Hrad)...

... and have a check of the "inverted pyramid". The local radio (Slovensky rozhlas) building with this awesome architecture.
Still a lot to discover. Keep going!

Cheers everyone. :)
