Ah Bratislava! What to expect? The most Americans know about Bratislava is Eurotrip (epitome of Eastern Europe) and Hostel by Eli Roth, set in Bratislava. I didn’t plan on going but it was only one hour from Vienna, the hostel was only €10, and why the hell not?
Pretty neat, very small, some good architecture followed by much unflattering communism era buildings-usually painted pale pink. By far my favorite thing was the free walking tour in Bratislava. The guide knew his history well, I was very interested especially in WWII and the Slovaks role in the war. Besides that, I did a pub crawl, which was pretty fun (85% guys though).
I tried to do like the Europeans and party until the sun comes up (then I would take the earliest train to Ljubljana, but unfortunately, I only made it to 3:30am before I fell asleep.
By the way, just watched Saw V, only one more of these shit movies to watch. Bratislava is nice and cheap for a day or two, then I recommend moving on to bigger and better things. This morning I was pissed--the train controllers got me and fined me €40 on the spot.
