When to go to Bratislava?
Bratislava folds its old town into a few cobbled blocks, with wine cellars under the pavements and café tables spilling across the squares. St Martin's Cathedral, where Hungarian kings were once crowned, stands below the castle terrace and its long view over the Danube. East of the centre, the blue Art Nouveau church of St Elizabeth looks iced rather than built.
