Day 1: Bratislava

Steps: Spišska Kapitula, Bratislava

Discovery of the Slovak capital. The best way to explore this city, which remains too little known, is to get lost in its maze of narrow streets and medieval squares. Visit the castle overlooking the city for exceptional views of the Danube and Austria in the distance. Back in the centre, go through the Cathedral of Saint Martin, which housed the coronations of the Hungarian kings from 1563 to 1830. Follow the traces of the coronation of the monarchs through the city with the landmarks on the ground (crown-shaped). Finally, sit on the terraces of the many cafés for a well-deserved delicious local beer.

While communist architecture may inspire many people with a disgust that is often legitimate, Bratislava represents a unique opportunity to find striking examples of functionalism. Cross the UFO bridge to the Petrzalka district, where you will find yourself immersed in a forest of perfectly identical concrete constructions!

Day 2: Around Bratislava

Biofarma Priroda is an organic farm built on the site of the former botanical garden created during the Soviet period and quickly abandoned to settle more in the centre of Bratislava. About 20 km from the centre of the capital, accessible by car and even partially by bicycle, Biofarma's main objective is to supply its owners' restaurants and pubs with organic bread and cheese. However, the estate is now open to the public and welcomes young and old for a breath of fresh air, popular and forgotten Slovak specialities or demonstrations of bread and cheese making. In addition to the French dairy sheep, the area is home to other animals saved from a sometimes tragic fate. An ideal place to escape foreign tourists.

Day 3: Cerveny Kamen and Modra

Steps: Modra

Cerveny Kamen, a remarkable fortress, is located in the Little Carpathians, about 50 km from Bratislava, in the municipality of Pila. This 13th century fortified castle has been transformed over time into a Renaissance style thanks to the powerful Hungarian noble family Palfy. Today, this castle houses a museum in which antique furniture and works of art are exhibited.

Modra is one of the main wine-producing cities, do not hesitate to strike at the inhabitants, they will be happy to let you taste their best wines. Even if it is a small detour, it is better to do this step in the afternoon and sleep on the spot, at least for the driver, because the blood alcohol level tolerated in Slovakia is 0. Modra is also known for its ceramic and a visit to the factory is possible.

Distance: about 50 km in 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Day 4: Piestany and its thermal baths

Steps: Piešt'Any

A small provincial town, Piestany may at first seem somewhat sleepy and without any particular charm. However, it is one of the most famous spa towns in Slovakia, and even in Europe. In the heart of the city, an island is home to the sumptuous palaces, now hotels, which house the majority of healthcare.

Piestany, a city of water, guarantees you a relaxing stay based on massages, therapeutic baths and treatments of all kinds. Perfect for relaxing muscles tired by days of walking or simply for a gentle break.
