We spent a few days in Bratislava and FELL IN LOVE with this city. The old town is just big enough to give you a ton of things to do while retaining its small town charm. Make no mistake, Bratislava is a HUGE city, but we tried to cram as much of it into one day as we could. Ever wondered what to do in Bratislava? Then this vlog's for you!

We're starting with a cup of coffee per usual and we chose this coffee shop for two reasons. One is because it’s named Five Points, & that’s the area of Huntsville, Alabama where Trey is from so that had a major effect (lol) but TWO, because they have something called a Selfie Cappuccino Machine where you can get a cappuccino with your face on it!! It's such a fun thing to get & we figured it’d pair well with a nice breakfast!

Now we know that saying you need to visit Old Town sounds pretty straightforward but there’s so much within the city center of Bratislava. The heart of Old Town is Hviezdoslav Square which houses Old Town Hall as well as a host of street performers, Roland Fountain, & basically every tourist like us that’s visiting the city. Within the city center there are a ton of statues but the most famous is arguably the Man at Work. Make sure to stop by and take a quick picture with his, as well as rub his cap for good luck!

Thankfully Old Town Hall is also a great place to get aerial views of Old Town. Town Hall is in the center of the Main Square and dates back to 1370. It costs 5 euros per person, or you can get the Bratislava Pass if you choose which gives you access to just about everything you’d ever want to do within the center of town. Old Town Hall also has a tower so we’re going to climb up & see the views from above!

We’re grabbed lunch at a place called Verne because it’s in the center of Old Town Bratislava & it’s supposedly pretty affordable based on the research we did on it. We got the chicken cutlet to share and enjoyed the amazing weather from the patio, because that's just what you do in Europe!

Next we're headed about 12 kilometers outside of town to the Devin Castle ruins. We hopped on Bus 29 at the Most SNP stop under the New Bridge. This bus drops you off about a kilometer from the castle so it’s just a short walk from the bus stop. This castle sits on the bank of the Danube River & was once a huge castle before it was effectively destroyed by Napoleon’s troops in 1809. This castle has roots dating back to the 1st century & played a big role in controlling the trade that took place on the Danube.

We took the bus back to Bratislava because we wanted to see another castle, but one that was a bit more intact. It’s kind of impossible to take a picture of the Bratislava skyline & not have the Bratislava Castle making its presence known. This castle sits at the top of a rocky hill & on a clear day you can see Austria & parts of Hungary. It was erected in the 9th century & between the world wars & a bit of neglact, the castle deteriorated into a state of ruin until it was remodeled in the 1950s. The museum is open during the day but the exterior is open at all times!

For dinner we wanted to find a place that was uniquely local and budget-friendly, & we just kept coming across Slovak Pub. It’s known for having excellent local cuisine & good beer which is what we’re most concerned with when choosing places to eat. The blogs say to have the Slovak version of Coke, which is called Kofala. We tried that, as well as the perogis & potato dumplings and it was DELICIOUS!

Much like the Bratislava Castle, the UFO Tower commands the skyline. It’s got an observation tower, a restaurant, a bar, & also a skywalk if you’re really feeling adventurous. This seemed like a perfect spot for a late night drink & a great panoramic view of the city lights from above.
