Slovakia - 2017
We visited Bratislava on our first Operatif Music Lovers tour in June 2017.
(Europe - Operatif Bohemian Rhapsody Tour)
(Melbourne - Dubai - Munich - Salzburg - Český Krumlov - Prague - Vienna - Bratislava - Budapest - Dubai - Melbourne).
We travelled from Vienna in Austria to Bratislava by bus.
Bratislava
The Old Slovak National Theatre where we saw Mozart's opera, Abduction from the Seraglio.
We stayed at the Carlton Hotel (a Radisson Hotel), right on the main city square, a one minute stroll to the old Opera House.
Cumil
The sign may say "man at work", but it is unclear, however, if this man is intended to be a spy or just someone out to watch the ladies!
Rubbing his nose is said to bring good luck.

It was a 1-minute stroll back to our hotel after the opera.
Bratislava Castle
The castle's site, like today's city, has been inhabited for thousands of years,
because it is strategically located in the centre of Europe between the Carpathians and the Alps.
It is near an important ford used to cross the Danube river.
Parts of the castle, which overlooks the city, were built in the 9th century.
