Went to Bratislava with a couple of my friends here last last saturday. Wasn't really expecting much cos erms... Bratislava is pretty small and it just pales in comparison to Vienna. We planned to reach there at around 10am and get back to Vienna by about 6pm but the stay was shortened because of various reasons, which will not be mentioned here.
Anyhow, Bratislava turned out to be a pleasant surprise and Taina and i are planning to go there again soon for some shopping and good food.
First of all, some info about Bratislava. I had such a hard time trying to tell my parents where it was so i won't be surprised if some of u dunno where the heck Bratislava is. I didn't until i got here.
It is the capital of Slovakia and is also the largest city in Slovakia. It borders 2 countries, namely Austria and Hungary and is only 60km away from Vienna (i only spent an hour on travel even though it was to another country). The city was called Pressburg in the past and was a key economic and administrative centre of the Habsburg (Austrian) Monarchy. It was once upon a time part of Czechoslovakia and joined the EU only recently in May 2004.
Alright, now the history lesson is over. You may view the pictures. =P
Anyhow, Bratislava was really nice and i'm definitely game for another visit there sometime soon but with different company this time. I thank God that it is only 60km away from me right now. If not, i would have killed the people who made this trip not as pretty as it should have been.
