Spotter since 2015
About me
After living in France, UK and Germany for a couple of years, I moved back to my city in 2012 and keep rediscovering it ever since.
I love exploring local history, learning about urban planning and design and looking at the city as a living organism. I would like to write more about places outside of the centre of Bratislava, where tourists rarely tread, such as Bratislava's suburbs, each unique with their own history and cool places.
Why Bratislava?
Bratislava has an ideal location. You can cross the border of four different countries within a day in this corner of Europe. It's an undiscovered gem where the majority of tourists spend maximum a day or two, even though there are so many things to see!
I hope I can also help anyone who already lives here to rediscover their own city and places they might not know yet.
"Hrad Devin" Bratislava makes for an ideal half-day trip. Check out the forest walks to the castle, suitable even for the biggest couch potatoes.

"Kapitulská street" is one of my favorite places in Bratislava because it's so unspoilt and underdeveloped, an authentic street in the Old Town.

"ÚĽUV" in Bratislava is definitely THE place to go if you're looking for quality souvenirs with Slovak design and craft products. I like the minimalism...

The "Slovak Radio" building in Bratislava is total nonsense and an architectural masterpiece - depends on who you ask. Their radio productions are quality.

"Penny Coffea" Bratislava is one of my favorite cafes. I recommend their excellent raw cakes and specialty Indonesian coffee, and love their terrace!

"Devínska Kobyla" is one of Bratislava's city forests. We have a great, clear system of hiking trails, so wherever you are, the forest awaits you...
