Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Bratislava Region, Slovakia
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.

I organised the wine tasting via email a couple of days in advance. I caught the bus from the main bus station in Bratislava. You can purchase tickets on the bus and it takes around an hour. Very easy getting to Modra and back for a lovely day trip. The Malik family are lovely and ensure you have a wonderful experience tasting wine in their garden. Mr Malik Senior prepared some cheese, bread and fresh tomatoes from the garden and his son Jakub lead the wine tasting. All of the wines were delicious, I had 6 white wines and one red. It was a wonderful relaxed afternoon learning about the process and history of their business. Highly recommend visiting to enjoy wonderful Slovak wines in a small family business.

Cellar from the 17th century has an authentic atmosphere of a family winery. You comes with original stone arches as well as historical tools and wine barrels, of which many are still in use. Rustic vaulted wine room decorated with Modra's ceramics, with original tiled stove, traditional local dishes, along with wines from its own vineyards. All this creates a unique charm of the true Small Carpathian winery. On a visit to Slovakia their Highness, the Prince and Princess of Japan did not miss to see our authentic cellar ...

On a trip to Europe, we decided to spend a night in Bratislava because my husband’s family immigrated to the US from the smaller villages outside of Bratislava around 1900. We don’t know much about his family, but records that we have show they were wine growers. We found out about the wine tour and thought we would try it to check out the area and learn some of the history of wine making in the region. When we arrived, Martin had set a wonderful table with treats prepared by his mother, and we tasted several wonderful wines at the table and also from the barrels in the wine cellar. We learned a lot about the area and the history of wine making. We also found out that Martin went to school with someone who had the same family name as ours. We are from northern Michigan, which is home to a growing wine industry. This tour reminded us a lot of the smaller wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula but with a much more personal touch and the depth of centuries of wine making.

Located a few miles west of Bratislava. Devín Castle ranks among the most important archeological sites in Central Europe. Located at the banks of the Danube, where once the Danube and Amber Roads intersected, it watches over the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Archeological research proves the area was settled about 7000 years ago and has since then been populated by one group or another, almost without interruption until today. Already during prehistory, it was a fortified center of power. During the Roman period the first several brick buildings were erected here. The first written source on Devín dates back to 864 and mentions a “Dowina Castle”. The Great Moravian period saw the erection of a church with colorful interior wall painting on castle grounds. Throughout the Middle Ages the Castle was an important border fortress, often passing from one noble family to another. In 1809 the Castle was intentionally demolished using explosives. In 1961 Devín Castle was declare

Devin Castle is a castle atop a hill at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Inside the castle is a sprawling landscape of gardens, pastures, fortification walls, staircases and courtyards in varying states of repair and disrepair. The climb up to the top of the tower and throughout the castle is perfectly safe though. Some of the castle ground buildings have been renovated and contain excellent exhibits of history of castle as well as a quick run through the history of Moravia up to the fall of the iron curtain in Czechoslovakia. The elevated position of the castle over the ground be made it an ideal position for observing the trade routes on the river. Views of Danube and Moravia, especially at the confluence of the two rivers, and city below are stunning. Makes a great half day visit from Bratislava.
