Bratislava is located in Slovakia, on a strategic point from a cycle-tourer's perspective, exactly on the intersection of two EuroVelo routes: EV 13 the "Iron Curtain Trail and EV 6 the "Danube cycle way". It lies near the border with Austria and border with Hungary is just a few kilometers south-east.
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia with about 400 to 600 thousand inhabitants (it depends if you count also surrounding villages and people who moved in unofficially from other parts of the country in search for employment).
Typical for the city are historical town center, hill-top castle, and the so called UFO bridge. The town center is quite small, maybe 1km in diameter, but well restored and full of (mostly expensive) restaurants, shops, souvenir kiosks, but also cafés and pubs.
When you're already in the town center, you can use this opportunity to visit Tourist information office at the corner of Klobucnicka and Ursulinska street. There are also signs to guide you there. Opening hours are 9.00am - 7.00pm in peak season (April - October) and 9.00am - 6.00pm in low season.
