Ever since I went to Bratislava, I've had a picture of a fairy tale kingdom

I've been to Europe twice and both times I went to Bratislava. From the first glance at this ancient medieval town, I've had an image of a fairy tale kingdom and instantly fell in love with it!! 🌟 The Old Town of Bratislava is very small, and I always pass through it when transiting between Eastern and Western Europe, although the time is very short, the impression is profound. If you only have half a day, you can walk this way. 🏞 Route: Old Town Hall~Michael's Gate~Capuchin Church and Monastery~Bratislava Castle~St. Martin's Cathedral 1️⃣ Old Town Hall The Old Town Hall is the focal point of Bratislava's Old Town center and the most visited place by tourists in the Old Town. This ancient town hall building has now become a museum, and the Roland Fountain in front of the town hall is a key spot for taking photos. 👉 The bell tower and the gate of the town hall require tickets, and it's not necessary to go up. This place is where thieves lurk, so you must be vigilant. 2️⃣ St. Michael's Gate St. Michael's Gate is the only city gate of the old city walls that has been preserved to this day. The spire tower on the gate has a history of a thousand years and is a prominent feature in the Old Town. There is now a weapons museum inside the tower. 👉 The highlight is that you can see the panoramic view of the Old Town from the top of the tower, but you need to buy a ticket. This place is also a gathering point for tour groups, and to take pictures with fewer people, you only have in the early morning. 3⃣ Capuchin Church and Monastery This yellow medieval church is easily overlooked by tourists. It is said to have been built for the first Hungarian king, Saint Stephen. The church inside is very cozy and simple. 👉 The highlight is that there are few visitors, suitable for zoning out when tired, but it's not often open. 4⃣ Bratislava Castle Standing on the banks of the Danube, Bratislava Castle is an important landmark, especially from a distance, it is quite magnificent. Inside, besides government offices, there is also a museum. 👉 The highlight is that you can overlook the new town and the Old Town Topview from the castle, and it's also free. 5⃣ St. Martin's Cathedral This cathedral on the edge of Bratislava's Old Town was the coronation church for several Hungarian kings. Entering the church, you can feel a strong sense of mystery. 👉 The highlight is the statue of St. Martin in front of the altar and the underground crypt beneath the glass floor.
