Bratislava is the capital as well as the largest city in Slovakia. Adjacent to Austria and Hungary, it is the only capital in the world that borders two neighboring countries. Today, we will take a car to tour around this city with the company of our driver guide. The city tour takes about 3 hours. First, we will admire the Presidential Palace from the outside, and then pay a visit to the Slavin Monument. The following stop is the Bratislava Castle, a must-see attraction in Bratislava. As an agelong castle in Slovakia, it was built in the 9th century. Looking from a distance, it resembles an upside down table, hence the nickname the DiningTable of God. Due to the advantageous location on the hills, you can have a panoramic view of the Danube River and the whole city below. We will only visit the baroque gardens and the main courtyards. If you are interested in the museum inside the castle, you can pay on the spot at your own expense.
Next, we will have a walking tour from the castle to the downtown area. On the way, we will pass the St. Martin Cathedral, Keglevich Palace, National Theater and Opera building, Main Square, Old Town Hall, Franciscan Church, and St. Michaels Gate. The guide will offer splendid explanations. After, we will send you back to the hotel, or you may enjoy the remaining time of the day to explore the city on your own.
