Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Bratislava
Bratislava is a capital that you can see across in a glance. The Danube flows past a hill topped by a white, four-towered castle that locals say looks like an upturned table, and the old town lies at its foot, compact and cobbled, a few minutes' walk from the river. Austria is just across the water, and Vienna is only an hour away, which means the city lives under the shadow of a bigger neighbour and has learned to enjoy its own pace.
