You're standing at Bratislava Castle, the big white block with four corner towers looking out high over the Danube. It sits on a lone rocky hill, a spur of the Carpathians, and you can see it from almost anywhere in the city. Turn around for a moment. On a clear day you can look across Bratislava into Austria from here, and sometimes even into Hungary.
