Bratislava City Breaks

Bratislava City Breaks - Unique traditions and a strong classical heritage
Long overshadowed by its more illustrious neighbour Prague, city breaks in Bratislava have really taken off in the last few years. Part of its charm lies in its more compact and manageable size as visitors can easily get a feel for the place - its history, culture and lifestyle - within a long weekend break. Acclaimed as one of Europe's foremost cities for the classical arts, lovers of opera, ballet and classical music will relish the elegant theatres and concert halls that showcase the very best performances of music and dance. Traditional Slovak culture is very much alive and a Bratislava city break should include a night of authentic folklore, music and song.

A short stroll through the historic streets will encounter a myriad of interesting monuments and buildings covering many centuries of colourful history. A Bratislava city break will certainly include a visit to the commanding castle and adjacent streets of the old city. Here you will find imposing gothic churches and the vast municipal museum, itself worthy of a few hours exploration. Discover regal palaces, quirky and surreal statues and hidden courtyards and public gardens perfect for a short rest and relaxation. Enjoy pleasant river bank walks along the Danube where many charming waterfront cafes await your custom or try a floating restaurant for a romantic lunch for two.
