Sightseeing in Bratislava


The city of Bratislava is quite beautiful and historic. Empress Maria Theresa admired it so much that she built a royal palace here. Despite the battles waged in the region over the centuries, and the political upheavals of the 20th century, the splendid architecture remains intact and the central part of the town is undergoing a process of revitalisation.
