Train to Bratislava

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is a less obvious choice for a European city break. Its compact centre makes it easy to explore on foot. In the historic old town you'll find colourful buildings, lively squares and statues, and from many spots you can see the imposing Bratislava Castle rising above the city. For a view from above, visit the UFO observation deck for 360-degree views. This is the best place to take in Bratislava's skyline. Because the city is relatively small, you can see a lot in a single weekend. Bratislava is also easy to combine with Vienna or Budapest.
