St Martin’s Cathedral<br />
This 13th century cathedral still stands in full splendour in the town<br />
centre. Nineteen royal coronations of the Austrian Hungarian Empire<br />
took place here and indeed still remains the city’s crowning glory.<br />
River Boats<br />
A popular way to view the city is by taking a sightseeing boat trip<br />
along the Danube which sails between Bratislava’s two main bridges.<br />
En route the boat sails by an ancient fort built on a rock dating back<br />
to 907 AD called Devin. Make a note, because the ruins are well<br />
preserved and open to the public. Reserve a seat at the ticket office<br />
at the landing stage at Fajnorovo Nabrezie 2. Or call 00 421 2 5293<br />
2226. The fare for the hour-long cruise is 90SK (£1.60).<br />
The New Bridge – Nov˘ Most<br />
There is a bridge next to the castle designed to connect the Old<br />
Town with the new extension. Fans hail the engineering genius<br />
behind it and the best that can be said about it is that it functions<br />
well. This ugly grey slabbed bridge, has cars using the upper level<br />
and pedestrian walk across the graffiti decorated lower level. But<br />
sadly its construction meant the destruction of priceless heritage,<br />
most of all the Jewish quarter that had existed for two hundreds<br />
The Main Square in the summer time<br />
