Here is a typical scene. This is a church from the 13th or 14th century. These are fairly common place and are really amazing inside. The construction in the foreground is everywhere in the city right now. The "old city" is the pride of Bratislava. It is a little sanctuary of beauty and history nestled at the center of the bustling city. The restaraunts and shops are quaint and the cobblestone corridors take you back in time. Here there is no graffiti (which is everywhere in other parts of the city) or noisy public transportation.
