We bought a 72-hour transit pass here for 10 Euros each, about the same cost as one rip-off taxi ride.
We checked out of the Sheraton, walked across the street and one block over, where we caught Bus 78 to the Bratislava Doubletree, which is adjacent to the Ondrej Nepela ice hockey stadium, sports complex and tennis arena.
Its location may not be as favorable as some, but the property itself is beautiful. Although we arrived early, we were immediately checked in to a suite on the fourth floor and welcomed with a signature Doubletree cookie.
Once we've checked out our room, we'll probably head for the Old Town, either by bus or on foot (about a 30-minute walk).
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
