L'autore:

Lucy Mallows first visited Bratislava in 1982 while studying Czech and became a frequent visitor from neighboring Budapest. An expert on the central European region, particularly its culture, architecture, politics, and history, Lucy promotes tourism in the new European states by writing articles on culture, entertainment, and travel from her home in Brussels.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Bratislava is the "little-big" capital with something for everyone; it doesn't bellow its beauty like Prague, but states its case quietly and persistently until it captures your heart. Offering alluring architecture and a vibrant nightlife, the city effortlessly blends history with hedonism. Shop till you drop, stroll the museums and galleries, unwind on a Danube cruise and get stuck into some Slovak wine; whatever you're doing, let Lucy Mallows lead you along the Insiders' track. *Stay in a Danube boat or a villa in the hills*Restaurants--from international fine dining to a table in a TV tower*Walking tours through the traffic-free Old Town*Beyond the city: the wine route, romantic castles, and a ghostly gallery*Tip-top beer at rock-bottom prices*Color city and tram maps
