Bratislava - Lacika Ján

Bratislava is at once hilly and flat, old and young, historical and modern, big, and yet small, metropolitan and provincial, lively and tranquil. It is a city of many, often contradictory, appearances. The slogan “Little Big City” describes it perfectly, it is as dynamic and busy as capitals tend to be, but also quiet, provincial and relaxed. While the size of Bratislava is comparable to Vienna, a big portion of its area is covered with the forests of the Small Carpathians and the Danube Lowland – the green lungs of the city. The most attractive things in Bratislava are concentrated in a small area. The labyrinth of streets and small squares contains a captivating promenade pulsating with high quality culture and entertainment, and within a short distance one can find quiet and intimate nooks offering blissful rest. Modern Bratislava is no longer merely a short detour for visitors to nearby Vienna. The Slovak capital surely deserves more than just a quick glance at some historical monuments followed by a spot of lunch. With this book in hand let us discover and admire Bratislava!
