Caught the early train (around 8am) from Vienna train station to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. It was 13C that morning. About an hour train ride, so we tapaued some pastries at the train station to eat as breakfast in the train.
Our first time in Slovakia.
We walked around at the Old Town of Bratislava. We were whisked back to a few centuries as we walked through cobbled streets, admiring the Baroque architecture buildings... sis memang suka ya tenguk buildings lama ni 😍 I found this old town quite charming, really!
Just like we usually do when visiting a new city, we would find 'free walking tour' service at the city and yes, they do have it here in Bratislava.
Meet Domanica aka Dom, our walking tour guide for 2 hours. Very pretty and friendly young lady 😃
Dom brifing the walking tour participants on the walking tour plan.
This walking tour basically bring us to visit the old town of Bratislava (while Dom telling the history behind each building - errr don't ask me to tell you details as I have really forgotten all lol!) and lastly to the Bratislava Castle.
The walk of course started at the Bratislava Old Town. The old town in Bratislava may not be big but it has very cozy streets with lots of cafes and beautiful old buildings.
Bratislaa Old Town Hall.
We walked through historic neighbourhood filled with charming narrow lanes... it was really nice to walk around!
This is Slovak Philharmonic
Meet Schoner Naci, once a famous beloved happy-go-lucky homeless local of Bratislava.
And this is Cumil..
This little guy sneaking out of a sewer on the ground is one fo the most photographed statues of Bratislava. The Slovak word Cumil actually means 'watcher'. Cumil potrays a worker who has been working hard and takes a break by taking a look at people passing.
Touch his head to have a wish granted! - that what the legend says lah... haha!
We definitely had to walk a lot ya...
Jenuh naik turun tangga.... (sis kena gantung kaki malam tu haha!)
Our last stop is Bartislava Castle.
