Bratislava is the capital city of the country of Slovakia. Located at the country's western edge, near the borders of Austria and Hungary and along the banks of the Danube River, Bratislava boasts a lovely historic Old Town that dates back to the 18th century and is accessible for pedestrians only, lending it a quaint, almost fairytale-esque ambiance for visitors as they shop, dine, and explore. The Old Town Hall Museum will teach travelers about Slovak history, while a visit to Primate's Palace will enchant visitors with its hall of mirrors and illustrious history featuring figures like the Habsburgs and Napoleon.
