Bratislava

Bratislava may have evolved from its days as a Nazi puppet state and a coronation city of Hungarian kings in the wake of Ottoman conquests in south eastern Europe leaving an indelible mark on Slovak culture that would serve to nourish in years ahead. On 1 January 1993 the city had found itself in a strong favourable position as the new role as capital of newly independent Slovakia. And so, ever since, it has become the laid back frontier of Slovakia carving its own niche in Central Europe.
