Hrad Devin is a cliff top castle a short journey out of central Bratislava. It is located at a confluence of the Morava and Danube rivers and is largely in ruins. It is a really nice spot though and easily accessed. It is also quiet there and I don't think many tourists visit.

This museum hardly compares in size to the monuments and museums in Vienna and Berlin but it's worth seeing and has lots of information about the traditional life of Jews in Slovakia as well as the hollocaust.

Bratislava Castle dominates the skyline and looms large over the Danube. It has some wonderful views and this in itself is reason enough to visit. The castle in its current incarnation dates back to the 1950s but there has been some sort of fortification here for the last 5,000 years. You can learn a lot in the Slovak National Museum which is housed inside.

Stephansdom is the number one sight to see in Viennaand is incredibly beautiful. It has a very gothic facade with a multi coloured tiled roof. Inside its dripping in sculptures and flourishes. We went to Mass inside the catheral on Sunday morning and though we couldn't understand the sermon, the acoustics were amazing and the choir sounded amazing.

This is a small tucked away museum and not somewhere you'd neccessarily go. Its really interesting though and has lots of exhibits about made up languages from the utopian - esperanto, to the bizarre- klingon. There are also great exhibits about the role that individuals, Shakespeare being the most noteworthy example, played in shaping languages.
