Bordering both Austria and Hungary and couched between the Danube and the Little Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is a picturesque city whose natural surroundings are rivaled only by its own historic architecture. Dating back centuries, the Old Town is home to numerous historic churches, castles, galleries and museums, including the Museum of Jewish Culture and Bratislava City Museum. The surviving fortifications at Michael's Gate provide a glimpse into the medieval history of the city.

Although I have a couple of gripes, generally had a fantastic time here. The cars displayed are in perfect condition and really give you a full history of motoring in Slovakia. There are trains too - the full size ex-communist Russian variety and that was pretty cool. The museum is located at the end of a main train station so the old trains are still on their tracks. It's a huge area and there's two giant spaces A & B, so most people do A and think that's it because space B requires you to exit A altogether, walk down a little rubbishy looking path that seems like you aren't supposed to be there. Signposted ahead will be shed B. Apart from cars and trains, there's also old motorbikes including a 1923 Harley Davidson (see pics of all these) and a new chopper made by Orange County Choppers (they had a BIG show on TV for years). There's also old bicycles, a few horse drawn carriages and even a collection of antique baby carriages/prams/buggies - whatever you call them depending on which country you come from! There is a huge display of old railroad equipment from gauges and lights to a room full of electronics. Also an old telephone display, showing bakerlite phones and way back to the times when an operator would need to connect you via a switchboard. Strangely, there's even a display and video content on Slovakia's kyaking win at the Sydney Olympic Games in Australia!! The old lady at the ticket booth is far from friendly, her English is very limited but I speak a dialect of the local language and although she understood me, she was still frosty. Not really the type of person you want welcoming tourists. Might explain the very few visitors that seem to come. Entry price is ridiculously cheap at 4 Euros but they try to charge you 2 Euros extra if you want to take photos. What a load of crap - I'd rather them just raise the admission price to 6 Euros for everyone. I didn't pay the extra and although 1 or 2 staff turn up from time to time to check on people walking around, generally there's no staff there. All of the information presented either via video, audio or on information cards is in Slovakian only. A handful show English and German as well but really so very few.
