Discovering Vienna and Bratislava
Travel video vlog about our trip to Vienna and Bratislava in winter 2018.
We took the train from Salzburg to Vienna on the morning of 24 January, and arrived just before lunch time.
Situated in Austria’s East side on the Danube river, Vienna is the capital and the largest city of Austria.
We spent our first day strolling around the town and admiring the architecture of some of the city’s main attractions including: St Stephen’s Cathedral, Museum of Fine Arts, Viennese Stephansdom, Hofburg, the Parliament and Stad Park Vienna.
In the evening, we watched the ice skating at Rathausplatz - Eistraum in the centre of Vienna before heading back to our hotel to finish the night.
Upon arrival at our hotel at night I felt a bit run down and tired, but I thought it could have been because I had been walking too much and my body was just exhausted (I was walking 12 hours + for more than 10 consecutive days in the middle of the European winter). However, a couple of hours passed, and I started to have very bad fever symptoms (chills, shivering, sweat and so on). I don’t know how I suddenly got this bad, but thankfully I managed to recover overnight with plenty of rest and some flu and anti fever medication I had brought with me on the trip. The next morning I had no symptoms left and felt fine to leave the room again to explore Bratislava.
Getting to Bratislava from Vienna is very easy, there is a train that departs Vienna station every hour and gets there in just 1 hour. We took the train just before lunch time and had the afternoon to explore the city main attractions.
Bratislava is one of smallest European capital cities and it can be easily explored in just a few hours. We had 5 hours there and we felt it was enough time to explore what the city had to offer.
Upon arrival, we headed to the old town to see the main attractions such as St Martin’s Cathedral, the Primatial Palace, St. Michael's Street and St. Michael's Gate, the main old town square and Statue of Napoleon’s Army Soldier.
To finish off our half day trip, we had a three course lunch at the UFO restaurant which provided panoramic views of the city. From the restaurant rooftop, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the Bratislava Castle, Apollo Bridge, St. Martin’s Cathedral and the Bridge of Slovak National Uprising (the UFO Bridge, where the restaurant is located).

Czech Republic: 'Night Wolves' pay respects at Russian Napoleon victims memorial
Members of the Russian 'Night Wolves' Motorcycle Club arrived in Prestanov to pay their respects at a memorial dedicated to thousands of Russians killed by Napoleon forces in 1812-13, Thursday.

Night Wolves bikers visit Soviet burial ground in Prague
Members of the controversial Russian Night Wolves Motorcycle Club visit Olsany Cemetery in Prague. The bikers attended a tribute to Russian soldiers and laid a wreath at the burial ground of the Red Army to commemorate those who died liberating Czechoslovakia during WWII. The group set off on a 6,000 km (3,728 mile) trip from Moscow to Berlin in April and are expected to reach Berlin on May 9, on the 70th anniversary of the allied victory over Nazi troops.
Bratislava Bridges The Gap Between Beautiful And Barmy Quite Brilliantly
Some people collect stamps or dolls, others go for foreign coins or football programmes. I bag bridges. Or at least I enjoy looking at and crossing them.
Big, small, stone, brick, concrete or metal, they can be things of beauty and engineering marvels.
The magnificent Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland is my favourite. I’ve a soft spot for the one across the River Mersey at Runcorn, Cheshire (childhood memories); the Iron Bridge in Shropshire is a photogenic showstopper; Sydney, Golden Gate and Panama’s Americas are stunners, and I really must drive across the amazing Millau in the south of France some time.
But there is a new span vying for my attention – the bridge across the River Danube in Bratislava, the delightful, neat capital of the little central European nation of Slovakia.
The Novy Most (literally “new bridge” but formally the Slovak National Uprising Bridge) itself is a fairly unremarkable 1972 concrete suspension job.
But what makes it fabulously special is the fact that the designers – it was a project by the communist rulers who flattened Bratislava’s old Jewish quarter to build the approach roads – decided to plonk a UFO on top of the main tower. As you do.
It’s gloriously nuts and worth every cent of the €6.50 to get in the lift, head up the main support tower and on up a flight of steep stairs to the viewing platform
The handsome vista to the north takes in the Danube, the beautiful historic centre and the stout castle of Bratislava, and out to the hilly suburbs. You’ll snap away. But to the south, it’s a grim collection of monumental apartment blocks, an oil refinery and, in the distance, the nondescript flatlands of Austria and Hungary. Some contrast.
Back inside the “UFO” there’s a fairly pricey restaurant - you’re paying for the views – and a cafe serving excellent coffee while offering interesting vibrations when the traffic thunders across.
Perhaps this explains why on my walk back across the bridge to the north shore I found several large lumps of concrete that had fallen off.
The cafe also has a very unusual gents’ loo with a view – the urinals are metal buckets!
You’ll also spot an unusual life-size statue of a paparazzo photographer leaning on the bar in the cafe as if focusing on the historic centre.
Like the UFO itself, it’s one of Bratislava’s quirky features.
Originally peeping round the wall of a restaurant in the largely pedestrianised historic centre, it was moved to the UFO when the restaurant closed (the UFO owners had paid for the statue). But you don’t have to go to there to spot one of these artwork curiosities – there’s a soldier of Napoleon’s army leaning on a bench in the pleasant Hlavne namestie main square and a worker emerging from a sewer close by.
But is he sneakily looking up women’s skirts? He’s much-photographed and perfect for stubbing your toe on at night.
My home in the city for two days was the modern, well-run and comfortable Mercure Bratislava Centrum Hotel.
It’s about 15 minutes or so to walk to the old town but handy for the station, and there are trolleybuses and trams if you don’t fancy a stroll.
Near the station there’s a transport museum, which is fine fodder for all lovers of old central European trains, cars, bicycles and so forth (admission €3.30).
It’s also handy for the Slavin memorial on a hill overlooking the city.
This is an imposing 1960 pillar built to commemorate the 6,000 Soviet soldiers killed liberating the Bratislava region. Quite a climb up – it was the snowy tail-end of winter when I visited, but worth the effort.
It’s a bit of a climb up to the castle too but it should certainly be on your must-see list. Entry to the grounds is free and there are a few nice old restaurants on the way up from the old town.
The castle was badly damaged by fire in the early 19th century and today’s structure is mostly a 1950s renovation.
It costs from €6 to get in, and in truth a lot of the museum aspect is a bit tedious apart from some interesting coins and medallions from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a fine display of WW1 weapons and uniforms.
The best bit is undoubtedly the climb up the Crown Tower for great views (beware, the steps are steep).
That’s followed by your descent to the bottom to see the 1,000-year-old crown of the old Hungarian monarchy. At one point, curiously, this was placed in Fort Knox.
If you have time, the ruins of Devin Castle are five miles out of town and feature a turret perched precariously on a rock. Admission is €2 and it’s served by buses and a ferry.
Bratislava is a winning, friendly little city with a handsome cathedral and national theatre too.
On a short break you’re most likely to spend a fair bit of your time just wandering around the delightful old town and taking advantage of the shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
And of course looking at the bonkers UFO bridge and asking, “why?”
Czech Republic: 'Night Wolves' pay their respects to Czech national hero Jan Zizka
Members of the Russian 'Night Wolves' Motorcycle Club visited Prague's National Monument in Vitkov Wednesday, to commemorate the Soviet soldiers killed during World War II and to pay their respects to Czech national hero Jan Zizka.
The bikers, accompanied by dozens of supporters, carried flags of Russia, 'Novorossiya', the Czech Republic and Macedonia and laid wreaths at the National Monument. The monument is dedicated to Jan Zizska, who defeated the army of the Roman Empire and Hungary in 1420.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy in Central and Eastern Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed when the Austrian Empire adopted a new constitution; as a result Austria (Cisleithania) and Hungary (Transleithania) were placed on equal footing. It dissolved into several new states at the end of the First World War.
The union was established by the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 on 30 March 1867 in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War. It consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and Hungarian states were co-equal in power. Foreign and military affairs came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective states.

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy in Central and Eastern Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed when the Austrian Empire adopted a new constitution; as a result Austria (Cisleithania) and Hungary (Transleithania) were placed on equal footing. It dissolved into several new states at the end of the First World War.
The union was established by the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 on 30 March 1867 in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War. It consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and Hungarian states were co-equal in power. Foreign and military affairs came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective st ...

SUMMARY
=======
Vienna ( (listen); German: Wien, pronounced [viːn] (listen)) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger.Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be The City of Dreams because it was home to the world's first psychoanalyst – Sigmund Freud. The city's roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, and then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is well known for having played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.Vienna is known for its high quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver and San Francisco) for the world's most liveable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne. In 2018, it replaced Melbourne as the number one spot. For eight consecutive years (2009–2016), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna fir ...

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy in English-language sources, was a constitutional union of the Austrian Empire (the Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council, or Cisleithania) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen or Transleithania) that existed from 1867 to 1918, when it self-dissolved at the end of World War I. The union was a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and came into existence on 30 March 1867. Austria-Hungary consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement (Nagodba) in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and the Hungarian states were co-equal. Foreign affairs and the military came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective states.
Austria-Hungary was a multinational state and one of the Europe's major powers at the time. Austria-Hungary was geographically the second-largest country in Europe after the Russian Empire, at 621,538 km2 (239,977 sq mi), and the third-most populous (after Russia and the German Empire). The E ...
