Bratislava
On Saturday we visited Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia, just 50 minutes by train from Vienna. Bratislava has a very beautiful historical centre. Overlooking it, it is Castle Hrad (unfortunately, under repairs, so, we could only see its outside and the amazing view of the city it offers). There is also the UFO-like tower on top of the bridge that overpasses the Danube River. Overall, it was a very nice visit.
We had lunch in a small tavern, when I savoured a dish recommended by my Master's student Liliana: bryndzove halusky so slaninkou a smotanou. Delicious!
On our return to Vienna, we took a twincityliner cruise through the Danube. Unforgettable.

Hey Marcelo,
ReplyDeleteYou are transforming from a scientist to a historian. I'm enjoying your posts. The pictures of Vienna and Saltzburg bring back memories.
