Bratislava - Bratislava is a city on the border of the eastern bloc, which Margaret Thatcher referred to as the Iron Curtain. It is also the capital of Slovakia. Even today, when you pass from Vienna to Bratislava, you can see the difference between east and west, the difference in wealth. Once a city in Czechoslovakia, it becomes the capital of Slovakia after the country is divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Bratislava is the city where the scary Eurotrip movie takes place. There is a 1-hour drive from Vienna to Bratislava, there are also ships on the Danube River and the Vienna - Bratislava train.
The distance between Vienna and Bratislava is 80 km. Although they were very close, the two cities lived in separate worlds for a long time. As soon as you enter Bratislava, old communist-era buildings stand out. Vienna's wealth is still absent here. The per capita income in Slovakia is half that of Austria.
Slovakia is a member state of the European Union. The minimum wage in Austria is around 1500 euros. The minimum wage in Slovakia is around 750 euros.
Turks living in Austria come to Bratislava on weekends to shop. Markets in Austria are closed everywhere. Bratislava is much cheaper compared to Vienna.
Let's say the "man at work" statue, the symbol of Bratislava, is the statue of the man coming out of the manhole.
Mr. Kemal Tarık Duru, the owner of Dr Brows, takes us to a German patisserie called Cafe Mayers. Salih abi is called apfelstrufel.
We are walking around the city center of Bratislava. Bratislava is a small city. It is possible to walk around in a few hours.
Even though we can't dive into Bratislava Nightlife, we find an Ice Bar. It's -7 degrees outside if it's 35 degrees in the Ice Bar. Ice bar has fun games. They serve alcoholic beverages in glasses made of ice, you break the glasses after drinking. We wear bear dresses and play ice hockey and darts. Winners get free shots.
We say goodbye to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, on the banks of the Danube. If you like my Bratislava Trip and Bratislava Vlog, you can also check out my other travel videos and travel documentaries.
