Bratislava Castle
The four-towered white castle standing guard over the Danube.
Bratislava
1. Slovak Pub
A big, buzzing pub on the main shopping street, loved by students for hearty, affordable Slovak cooking – much of it from the owners’ own organic farm. Eleven rooms each tell a chapter of Slovak history; don’t leave without trying bryndzove halusky, the national dish.
KGB Pub (Krcma Gurmanov Bratislavy)
Not the secret police – here KGB stands for Krcma Gurmanov Bratislavy, the “Gourmet Pub of Bratislava.” A cheeky, history-themed spot in the centre where Soviet and Czechoslovak leaders watch over you as you tuck into good food and cold beer.
