Situated along the Danube river, flanked by Austria and Hungary, Slovakia’s capital has experienced its share of upheaval among Austrians, Croats, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Serbs and Slovaks. Known as Pressburg in its earlier life, the city was rechristened Bratislava in 1919. Today, the city exudes a sense of sophistication, history, and culture through its distinctive baroque architecture and dedication to music and art. Let’s explore the Coronation Church, once the coronation site for Hungarian monarchs, unveil the ancient walls of St. Michael’s Gate, and encounter the charming, life-sized sculptures dispersed throughout the Old Town.
