Bratislava, Slovakia

Bratislava is often called "Beauty on the Danube," owing to its picturesque and historical Old Town. It became the capital of the newly formed Slovak Republic in 1993. In the early 21st century its economy boomed due to foreign investment.

These photos were taken as part of a shore excursion during the magnificent AmaWaterways "Romantic Danube" cruise from Vilshofen Germany to Budapest Hungary.
