Bratislava Summary

Bratislava is only a small city (400,000 people) so for a quick fly through, I only needed a couple of days. Bratislava was also like sticking your toe into the water in the pool to test it out. I wanted to see if it would be possible to see Eastern Europe not knowing a great deal and what it would be like.

The architecture was great and a refreshing change from Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-classicism. After I settled into the place and got past the notion of being behind the Iron Curtain, it was quite a good place to be and enjoyed myself. The hostel was ok but always had a funny smell to it. Needless to say, food was cheap and a nice change after Florence, Venice and Vienna.
