Bordering both Austria and Hungary and couched between the Danube and the Little Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is a picturesque city whose natural surroundings are rivaled only by its own historic architecture. Dating back centuries, the Old Town is home to numerous historic churches, castles, galleries and museums, including the Museum of Jewish Culture and Bratislava City Museum. The surviving fortifications at Michael's Gate provide a glimpse into the medieval history of the city.

The Renaissance House, a National Cultural Monument, is open to the public and offers cultural, artistic, and wine-tasting experiences in its multifunctional venues, coffee-bar Čokokafé and also accommodation. Its history dates back to the 15th century, when it was built by German colonists as part of their row house settlement. The extraordinary significance of the building resides in the preservation of its original image of the end of the 17th century. Along the wall of the Renaissance House we have the alleged oldest grapevine in Svätý Jur. Our 600-year old cellar is the perfect place for archiving and maturation of spontaneously fermented natural wines. Autumn is the season of new wine degustation, baking tasty fresh and crisp breads or other viticulture activities. In summer time, you can sit under gigantic mulberry tree, with the pleasant shadow of its lists, and taste a cup of quality coffee and delicious home-made cakes from the adjacent coffee-bar Čokokafé.

Located a few miles west of Bratislava. Devín Castle ranks among the most important archeological sites in Central Europe. Located at the banks of the Danube, where once the Danube and Amber Roads intersected, it watches over the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Archeological research proves the area was settled about 7000 years ago and has since then been populated by one group or another, almost without interruption until today. Already during prehistory, it was a fortified center of power. During the Roman period the first several brick buildings were erected here. The first written source on Devín dates back to 864 and mentions a “Dowina Castle”. The Great Moravian period saw the erection of a church with colorful interior wall painting on castle grounds. Throughout the Middle Ages the Castle was an important border fortress, often passing from one noble family to another. In 1809 the Castle was intentionally demolished using explosives. In 1961 Devín Castle was declare

Devin Castle is a castle atop a hill at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. Inside the castle is a sprawling landscape of gardens, pastures, fortification walls, staircases and courtyards in varying states of repair and disrepair. The climb up to the top of the tower and throughout the castle is perfectly safe though. Some of the castle ground buildings have been renovated and contain excellent exhibits of history of castle as well as a quick run through the history of Moravia up to the fall of the iron curtain in Czechoslovakia. The elevated position of the castle over the ground be made it an ideal position for observing the trade routes on the river. Views of Danube and Moravia, especially at the confluence of the two rivers, and city below are stunning. Makes a great half day visit from Bratislava.
