0831 - Bratislava

Bratislava, Slovakia - the 'Little Big City', is what they called it
I called it the hilly city, because it is indeed, very hilly
Honestly I've never heard of this place before until I planned my journey.
The city is relatively small, so the map is easy to follow.

Once I stepped out of the station, I was attracted by Slavín - the war memorial monument, which I initially planned to ignore

climbed all the way up the hill...





panorama of Bratislava from the top of the hill





Bratislavský hrad - the Bratislava castle




Staré Mesto - the old town

Hlavné námestie ie Old town main square



Slovak National Theatre


St. Martin's Cathedral





the St Michael's Gate

the Franciscan Church and Monastery

I caught a stalker


the Primate's Palace


summer = hot weather = best time for ice cream
strawberry yogurt+coconut ice cream = yum yum yum


St. Elisabeth's Church, better known as the Blue Church

Blue church under the blue blue sky


St Ladislav's church

Church and Convent of the Order of St. Elizabeth

Grassalkovich Palace - where the president lives...


... where I spent half an hour sitting in the palace's garden
relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine




oh, Bratislava is also the city where I spent the least throughout my entire trip - €3

next station: Budapest Keleti palyaudvar
