The Telegraph's Richard Robinson spends a 'Weekend to remember' in Bratislava

The Telegraph newspaper published a very positive feature on a weekend spent in Bratislava in its Travel Section on January 25, 2005 under the headline "Weekend to remember".

Richard Robinson found two things to complain about: noise from the very efficient tram system in his Hotel Ibis room and a long queue at the Bratislava Airport passport control but the rest of his stay was "a treat".

The feature sings praise of Bratislava's Christmas Markets with their heaping offering of "tasty savoury and sweet snacks with copious quantities of mulled wine, just right for the sub-zero temperatures".

The author appreciated a walk through the Old Town, visit to the Bratislava Castle with scenic views, the Blue Church (at Bezrucova near Safarikovo Square, by the Old Town side of the Old Bridge), "a gem by the Hungarian, Lechner, an architect who is to Budapest as Gaudí is to Barcelona."

Evenings were spent "drifting among beer taverns, dining on satisfying Slovakian dishes, enjoying a first-class classical concert at Bratislava's gilded, rococo Reduta".

The article recommends the "palatial" Marrol's Hotel, Prasna Basta restaurant on Zamocnicka, A-Klub on Panska (both featured in our dining guide), as well as concerts at the National Philharmony on Palackeho.
