One of the best reasons for going to Bratislava is quite simply price. You can get there using the marvellous new central European low-cost airline, Sky Europe (www.skyeurope.com) and once there, you can get deeply ensconced in five star luxury for a third of what it would cost you anywhere else. The same goes for restaurants, shops and almost anything else you can find to spend your Slovakian Crowns on. It’s not surprising considering that the minimum wage in Slovakia is 5 euros an hour!
