Like many European Capitals (and cities in general), Bratislava has an Old Town which is popular with tourists. Near the Old Town, on a hill overlooking the city, there's the Bratislava Castle from which you can on clear days see as far as into three different countries (Austria, Hungary & Slovakia).
