The peace of its natural beauty is supplemented by therapeutic springs; the food and wine add a fi nishing touch to past and present civilisation; the gentleness of the countryside is balanced by the bustle of the cities – it is a little big country. Bratislava - Slovak National Uprising Bridge The capital Bratislava Bratislava, a city of half a million inhabitants, often called the Beauty on the Danube, lies in an area bordered in the north by the confl uence of the Morava River with the mighty Danube, and in the south by the fertile valleys of the Rye Island (Zitný ostrov).

Slovakia‘s historical monuments are there to remind us of our ancestors, opening up the path to the distant past. They give the modern people knowledge, relaxation and happy times. Though a country of modest size, Slovakia is full of chateaux and old castles, some in ruins, others in excellent condition. Most of them were built centuries ago. To the nobility, castles provided fi ne family seats and, perhaps more importantly, protection against the raids of enemies. Some of the castles stood against siege for decades, others fell victim to humiliation and destruction. The numerous ruins of once majestic castles remind us of the worse side of the medieval times. Those castles that survived destructive attacks and have remained in good condition to this day, or have been partly renovated, give their visitors a taste of the country‘s history. Old arts and crafts, authentic utility and decorative objects together with shows of medieval fi ghts help these places appeal to masses of tourists.
