Discovering Bratislava Castle
Bratislava

Discovering Bratislava Castle, Bratislava

Where : Bratislava Castle Discovering Bratislava Castle, Bratislava Bratislava Castle is a short walking distance from the Old Town Square.  You’ll easily spot the rectangular building located on top of the rocky hill beside the Danube river. On a beautiful day, it would be a great idea to walk, take some pictures and enjoy the gorgeous views.  Finally we were lucky, cause we could managed to enjoy our walk and got a last minute ticket just before they closed ! According to Wikipedia, the Castle was built from the 9th to the 18th century.  The building includes four towers, one on each corner, plus a courtyard. ‘How was it’ ? you ask… If we compare Bratislava Castle with others castles we

When you visit Budapest’s Matthias Church and the Castle hill you will see a beautiful terrace closest to the waterfront.  Seems like a boardwalk decorated with seven Castle towers.   Well, that’s the “Fisherman’s Bastion” !  Above all, it offers gorgeous views from Danube River and Pest. What next ? We were expecting a little more.  We paid $3.79 CAD to enter and we were a little confused once we entered. There wasn’t much to discover besides waterfront views.  Our consolation prize, it was a small value for a great view.  It was really nice to see the historical architecture and structures, which according to Wikipedia were built between 1895 and 1902. Accessing Fisherman’s
