This charming city is located on the bank of the Danube River, near the border with Austria and Hungary. Let’s enter Bratislava Castle which is an important symbol of the city and a landmark.

Its prominent hilltop location makes it a stunning view from any point in the city. This castle has history dating back to Roman times. However, its current form began to be built in the 9th century, when the hill was fortified to protect the border of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Today, the castle houses several museums, including the National Museum of Slovak History and the Bratislava City Museum. During the Middle Ages, it became a royal residence and was expanded in Gothic and Renaissance styles. Later, baroque elements were also added to the castle.

This is the equestrian statue of “Svätopluk”, an influential leader of the Great Principality of Moravia during the 9th century. Moravia was a medieval state that encompassed parts of what are now Slovakia, the Czech Republic and other neighboring territories. And here we have the famous Danube river, one of the most important in Europe.

The double cross represents the two most important saints in the country, Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. Now we enter the Baroque Gardens of the Castle. These gardens were designed in the 18th century. Typical features of baroque gardens are trimmed hedges, geometric flower beds, fountains and ornamental sculptures.

In spring or summer, this garden blooms and must be very pretty! Now we will go down to the city center. The population of Bratislava is around 430,000, making it the most populous city in Slovakia. The official language is Slovak. This is the symbol of the flag of Slovakia.
