The Bratislava Airport (BTS) is likely the most comfortable way to travel to this lively, cosmopolitan city with none of the sightseeing crowds found in her neighboring cities. Because this “Little Big City” has remained a carefully hidden getaway for so many years, many do not realize that the cheapest flights into the European Union can start and end right here. Whether you are seeking a quiet, yet romantic place to propose to the love of your life or spending your 50th wedding anniversary on a tour of Eastern Europe, Bratislava offers some of the most relaxing places to spend a few days. Locating the cheapest flight possible is quick and easy to do, leaving you and yours with more money in your pocket for the more expensive portions of your trip. Start your trip off in one of the historic Bed & Breakfasts, or a smaller and cozier studio apartment. The compact size of the city allows you to look for bargains in one of the many shopping malls, party the night away at any of clubs or lounges or visit the famous Bratislava Opera. This by the way is still reasonably priced. A minibus tour through the most historical sites, such as the Bratislava Castle, St. Michael’s Gate, palaces where Mozart and Beethoven performed concerts, St. Martin’s Cathedral and many other incredible places, is a pleasant way to spend three hours.
