The pretty Slovakian capital on the Danube is quickly becoming an east European hotspot. Bratislava is in the process of a remarkable transformation from a quaint picture postcard city to a quirky metropolitan hub of style and culture. Fine restaurants, chic clubs and a cool cosmopolitan atmosphere all sit beside the city’s famous baroque palaces, manicured gardens and classical cafés.
