culture, dynamic folklore and interesting tourism attractions throughout the year.
Hungarian Diet, central administration and the coronation
town of the Hungarian Kings and Queens. Eleven Kings and
eight royal wives were crowned in Bratislava in the years between 1563 and 1830.
The Bratislava Region represents the Capital city, Bratislava, located on the banks of Europe’s most famous river,
the Danube. Bratislava is the only capital city in the world,
which borders simultaneously with two countries - Hungary and Austria. It is located 60 km east of Vienna (Austria),
which is the shortest distance between two capital cities in
Europe. According CNN, Bratislava is for its history, cultural heritage and fairy tale streets listed among six Europe´s
most fascinating border towns.
This strategically important place has often played a
big role in the history of central Europe. The date of December 2nd 1291 is not the
date of birth of Pressburg.
In the 14th and 15th centuries Bratislava lived the period of rapid development in
trade. After Turks penetrated deeper into the Kingdom,
Bratislava was established

The counter-Turk wars and the Rebellions of Estates in
the 16th and 17th centuries have interrupted the development of towns. In the 18th century and above all during the
reign of Queen Maria Theresa the significance of Bratislava
increased again. Great amount of wonderful palaces and
buildings still survive from that period. The city became the
centre of cultural in the 19th century and Bratislava was the
cradle of the Slovak national emancipation. Bratislava now
is the modern city and the seat of most important political,
economic, social and scientific bodies and institutions.
One of the city dominants which can be seen from far distance is The Castle of Bratislava. The most attractive part of
Bratislava is the Old Town where the most historical sights as
well as cultural institutions are concentrated. Its tiny lanes offer an ideal atmosphere for romantic walks to those who love
to follow signs of history in the middle of modern world.

and finishing at the Black Sea. Several castle ruins are very
famous in the area such as the Devín Castle set on a steep
rock towering high above the confluence of the Danube and
the Morava rivers. The Devín Castle, at its heydays, controlled one of the most important trade routes between the
North Sea and the Baltic States in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south.
