Bratislava in general is beautiful, and the Old Town Square is no exception. Look out for the canon ball lodged in the tower of the Old Town Hall - it was fired by Napoleon from the far side of the Danube. More

I really like the benches, little market and fountain here. The statues are fun--take a tour to get the history!--and the restaurants are pretty good, too. More

It's the typical square of a "museum town", banned to cars (as all the center), with an "ancient touch". During the day there is a small handycraft market. More
