Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is yet to achieve popularity among holidaymakers. So, time to get a bit experimental and try your hands at something new. Wondering what a weekend in Bratislava can offer you? Read on to know more.

To begin with, start the weekend trip at a local café sipping a cup of hot coffee. Make sure that you have a hearty breakfast before heading out to the streets of Bratislava.

Visit Bratislava’s main attraction first- the Bratislava Castle. The structure has been around for over five thousand years now. The castle that you see today was built back in the thirteenth century BC. It houses a range of breathtaking furnishings, weaponry and historical portraits.

If you are not pressed for energy, then consider climbing atop the biggest tower. The spot, which was previously used as a storehouse for Hungarian crown jewels today, serves as the castle’s biggest draw. It is from the tower top that you get to experience a mesmerizing view of the Old town and of course, the magnificent Danube.

After a daylong sightseeing ...
... spree during your weekend in Bratislava, stop at a roadside restaurant and treat yourself to a sumptuous lunch. However, fitness freaks should know that a typical Slovakian lunch contains high volumes of fat.

Adventure enthusiasts can go for a round of white water activities. Visit the Cunovo Water Sports Center for added fun. If you did not find the fatty lunch particularly disapproving, then get ready for more of the Slovakian gourmet tour. Prasna Basta is undoubtedly one of the most popular food haunts in Slovakia. Apart from a plethora of mouthwatering local cuisines, the place also specializes in serving ice-cold Slovakian beer.

The city undoubtedly comes to life after sundown. Hence, hit the pubs in the evening. The UFO club is one place that you just cannot afford to miss while spending the weekend in Bratislava. Although, the club appears bizarre when viewed from outside, yet the titillating interiors make up for the somewhat dodgy looking exteriors. Apart from the typical bar crawls or sightseeing activities, there are countless paintballing venues here to keep your quota of adventure full.
