About Bratislava

Bratislava ( BRAT-iss-LAH-və, US also BRAHT-, Slovak: [ˈbracislaʋa] ; Hungarian: Pozsony [ˈpoʒoɲ] ), historically known as Pressburg (Preßburg) (German pronunciation: [ˈpʁɛsˌbʊʁk] ; Slovak: Prešporok), is the capital and largest city of Slovakia and the fourth largest of all cities on Danube river. Officially, the population of the city is about 475,000; however, some sources estimate it to be more than 660,000—approximately 140% of the official figures. Bratislava is in southwestern Slovakia at the foot of the Little Carpathians, occupying both banks of the River Danube and the left bank of the River Morava. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital to border two sovereign states. The city's history has been influenced by people of many nations and religions, including Austrians, Bulgarians, Croats, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Jews and Slovaks.
