This area is called by locals as our Bermuda Triangel 10 minutes
This area is called by locals as our Bermuda Triangel. In this case, there are no aircrafts or ships that disappear, so do not worry. There are few pubs, back in the day when we used to use Slovak crowns, drinks were much cheaper. I might share with you some of my experiences from that place...
We are going to talk about traditional dishes,... 15 minutes
We are going to talk about traditional dishes, I ll show you some places where to go for lunch or dinner, where to grab a glass of wine or just grab a nice drink for the evening. We will walk through the last standing gate from the city fortification, passing the narrowest building in Slovakia and also considered the narrowest street in Bratislava.

We have a small refreshment on the castle hill, talking about Iron Curtain, interesting facts about Bratislava and our castle as well. Exactly this castle was chosen for Bush-Putin summit back in 2005. On the other side of the river you can admire Petržalka, which is the largest residential district in Central Europe built in the previous regime... On the way back to the city centre, we will be passing our National Council, discussing about our political situation and from there I will point out one Second World War memorial, which is worth visiting while being in Bratislava for sure.
