Why visit Bratislava?
Bratislava is a great place to spend 2-3 days in, if you are looking for a break from all your hectic inter-railing or if you have no desire to go home looking undernourished and washed-out! If you are on your way to Prague or Budapest, I would heartily recommend Bratislava. If you want to experience one of the newest, and yet oldest, capital cities in Europe (as well as one of the cheapest) put Bratislava on your itinerary if you are inter-railing this summer. Go off the beaten track a little and you will be very pleasantly surprised. We did and were all the richer for the experience.
