Walking downhill to the Old Town

We took a taxi up the hill. Walking downhill is easier. So we walked to the Old Town.

Bratislava Castle

The castle sits on a hill above the Danube. It dates back to the 13th century but was reconstructed in the 19th century. It is a landmark of Bratislava and now houses the Slovak National Museum.

Bronze  statues of Saints Cyril, Methodius and Gorazd.

Le Papillon Restaurant

We had lunch at this restaurant in the Old Town. The food was good.

Pork Cheeks in Red Wine and Mash

Beef Soup with Vegetables and Noodles

Bratislava

Bratislava is the capital and largest city of Slovakia. It is located along the Danube and is the only capital in the world that borders two countries: Austria and Hungary. Technically, this is our second visit to Slovakia, since we took a train that passed through it from Prague to Budapest in 2008.

We walked from the cathedral into the Old Town.
