Bratislava, Slovakia. Knowing this is a very small European capital city and not much time is needed to see “everything”, we wasted no time, got up uncomfortably early, met up with some friends and jumped straight into our rental car to undertake the long 3 and a half hour scenic drive to the High Tatras mountains. Being over 30 degrees in the city it was a welcome relief gaining some altitude and arriving in a much more comfortable temperature to start our hike to a number of picturesque glacier lakes.

A very busy first day had left us quite exhausted so the next morning we decided to take full advantage of the latest check out time we could get away with. We still managed to get around this quaint little city in a few leisurely hours. After seeing the Grassalkovich Palace and the castle on the hill, the best place to find yourself is the historic old town to finish things off. Our time in Bratislava was short and sweet and with the added road trip to the stunning Tatras Mountains, turns out to be a great way of spending the weekend and seeing somewhere new. Oh and did i mention everything is incredibly cheap.
