Bratislava is a city that offers a perfectly balanced cocktail of tradition and modernity.

Here is why the European Best Destinations organization chose Bratislava among 20 trendiest European destinations:

“Bratislava, is a unique destination, a destination that offers travelers real experiences. Bratislava has become one of the strongest brands of tourism in Europe, one of the most attractive capitals. Bratislava succeeds in attracting both hyper-connected travellers who are looking for the hippest places but also fans of history, authenticity, traditions, families who like to walk in the parks, art lovers who will discover in Bratislava unique museums in the world such as the “Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum”, the “Multium – Space and Mirror Gallery” and the “Nebdalka Gallery”. Bratislava becomes the star of social networks and attracts travellers from around the world thanks to the work done by the Municipality but also that of the Tourist Office of Bratislava which diffuses a trendy and attractive image of the city. Finally, if Bratislava is so attractive it is probably thanks to these citizens, to the persons who work every day to make Bratislava a welcoming city. We obviously think of the shopkeepers, the hoteliers, the people in charge of cultural institutions, all the citizens who share the beauties of their city with travellers from all over the world and who are the true ambassadors of Bratislava. “
