Bratislava - the big small town!

Brat, as it is lovably called it is the capital city of Slovakia. The Slovaks are very friendly people and the city is too small that you can walk all over the city within one day. Brat, despite being small is charming and there are too many little things that capture everybody’s attention. It was a welcome break in the middle of my euro trip at a point I was inundated with museums, art galleries and cathedrals. I have compiled below some random scenes in Brat that made me sit and stare. I love Brat, muaah!

Sitting in the front side of the Danube restaurant for lunch!

This is a famous monument of the waterworks man climbing up the man-hole. It is there in some random street and comes up before you all of a sudden.

I love this one, on a park bench in some major square in city center.

This is what I love about Brat, look at this one - completely random in the walking lane of a shop street!

Cute kids playing a game around the tree. I was trying to understand how they play, but its difficult. As far as I remember, its got to do something with running round and round the tree and one kid gets kicked out for some reason. Umm, something like that i guess..

My favorite activity while backpacking - visiting the local post office and sending out cards to friends. This one is not a postoffice but a random post box in a random street - again so Brat'ish!

Random Photograher at a street corner - smart & wily!

This is heights of randomness - an alien space ship shaped restaurant on top of the suspension bridge that goes on top of river danube! It is supposed to be Brat's millennium monument.


This is a just a famous clock tower in city center - not too Brat'ish (or random)!

I would visit Slovakia again, but not Bratislava. I want to explore the hill side villages on the northern part of Slovakia bordering Poland. I want to also visit the border district of Zakopane in Poland. Ahhh, can't wait to go back :-)
