The capital city of Slovakia, Bratislava isn't nearly as well-known as nearby cities like Prague or Vienna, but it's a wonderful city with ample rewards for visitors who choose to step off the typical tourist trail. The pedestrian-only Old Town is filled with beautiful historic buildings and busy restaurants, and you can get some excellent views from above by climbing up to the reconstructed Bratislava Castle, which is an interesting attraction in its own right. Wine lovers should also stop by the Slovak National Collection of Wines, where 100 of the country's best wines are available to be sampled. Bratislava Map
