WATER & WINE, HISTORY & SUN
Bratislava Region is the smallest region in Slovakia in terms
of size, but the variety of remarkable places makes it one
of the most interesting ones! The region is rich in aesthetic
natural landscapes and important monuments. There are
outstanding viewpoints, beautiful forests, bike paths along
the Danube, interesting geological sites and impressive historical
and sacred sites. Bratislava Region has its very own
little hotspots, where the region can be experienced to its
fullest.
Záhorie, which lies west of the capital, is a natural paradise
in which pine forests dominate. The little Carpathians (north
of the capital) are decorated by vineyards. Here you can
experience folk tradition up close and good wine as well
as excellent food. Senec, east of Bratislava, is known for its
clean lakes. Podunajsko (Danube area) is mainly associated
with the Danube and is characterized by water sports such as
canoeing, sailing and rafting. Here you can find hot springs
and outdoor swimming pools, which are open all year round.
Finally, there is of course Bratislava, the metropolis, the gate
to the region, with its vibrant and lively happenings.
