Bratislava is the only capital in the world that borders two countries, Austria and Hungary.
The two most important medieval trade routes intersected here: 
the Amber and the Danube. The city's origins date back to Roman times. From 1536, the main coronation city of Hungarian rulers, after World War I inhabited mainly by Germans and Hungarians, in 1939-45 dependent on the Third Reich, after World War II, the capital of Slovakia, which was part of Czechoslovakia, and from 1993 the capital of independent Slovakia. Due to these vicissitudes of fate, there are 14 historical names of the city.
The beautiful Gothic cathedral served as a place of coronation 
for 300 years. Nearby there is a castle hill with a park complex. Perfect for autumn walks. Another tourist attraction is Cumil, a monument to a sewer worker, which is not supposed to symbolize anything. The town is neat and clean. It looks beautiful in winter with Christmas markets on every corner. Narrow streets lead to mysterious nooks and crannies. You must try their delicacies, especially these dumplings.
The city has a very touristic but also artistic atmosphere. It is 
not monumental, but rather mysterious. Picturesque and inviting for walks.
