Bratislava Off Season

Bratislava is the proud capital of the Slovak Republic, situated in the west of the country at the border with Austria. In fact, the city is so close to Austria that once there were plans for a tram line connecting it to Vienna. Although such a tram was never built, by train, it takes only about one hour to get there, and in summer, there are boat cruises along the Danube between the two capitals. In winter, though, it is much quieter, especially during COVID-19 there was not much going on in the streets, and you almost felt like having the city for yourself.
