We spent 2 days in Bratislava, the capital, and yet again didn't really have any expectations as to what there was to offer...
Its a small, quaint town, that had a cosy, friendly feeling to it. In contrast to the very Western European feeling of Budapest, we very much felt like we were back in Eastern Europe. Some parts of the newer area were the obligatory shade of grey, and the beautiful old town was of course cobbled and had pretty churches dotted around.
The main square was barely visible under the stalls that had popped up for the Christmas Market and the sprinkling of snow gave a wonderfully festive feeling.
Honestly I wonder if the market wasn't there, would I have warmed so much to the tiny capital? I'm not sure, but regardless it was a lovely 2 days of mulled wine, giant sausages and delicious tea.
