It should really go without saying that in any European city with a true “Old Town”, the main joy of exploring is not necessarily about running around and ticking off every highlight in the guide book. But this truly bears repeating when it comes to Bratislava’s super-sweet Staré Mesto”. You won’t get physically lost in this small historic center but you’ll probably find your mind wandering into a bit of a dream state as you chance upon cute crafts markets, edgy art galleries, restored old buildings and relaxing sidewalk cafes. Go without an agenda and just meander!
