Bratislava Pictorial

Well I guess I might as well add some pictures again. Just finished my first school assigment which is due on Tuesday. It was about starting a company, giving it a name, an idea, a product and describing its customers. Quick task and I just hope it's enough.

Well well, recognize the brand on the wall? Yea, I thought it looked familiar too :) And if you look closely to the billboard in the background (with red background color), you might recognize a quite famous figure from the past. And yea, I read that there's a pub here that is all up for his ideas.
And the 3rd picture, a view from the old city. Can't really tell where exactly it is from, but as you can see, it's pretty nice.

On the left you can see propably the most famous monument in Bratislava, "Man at work". He looks so busy that I almost feel sorry for him =/
In the middle is I think a view from the main street of Bratislava, Obchodna. It's filled with stores, small shops and home for basically everything you could imagine to get. Although I haven't seen a shop for footy team shirts yet.
And the last one, that badass dude's weapon. No more, no less... than a cannon. Might be a bit rusty, but I'm sure some equipment from DM (a store for cleaning stuff) will do the trick. Still need to find someone to clean it :D

I assume the one on left is the "Michael's Gate". It's basically a street, but that's pretty much all I remember about it :D
I can't really say for sure, but the picture in the middle is either from the Main Square or somewhere from the walking street... I think it's called Hviezdoslavovo Namestie. If you ever go to Bratislava, walk down this street. It's really nice.
The one on right is from the old city as well. The old city as a whole, is basically just for walking. It may look rough now, but I can imagine it looking really nice once summer kicks in.

A bit blurry map of the Bratislava public transportation. Basically the bus transportation is actually quite complex for me, but the trams are a bit more simplified. In the middle and on right, are pictures of this shopping hall close to Tesco (a big shop brand (?) in Slovakia).

These pictures are from the walking street. The first one is located at the western end of it. In the middle, you can see the street quite well. Again, I can imagine it looking a lot better when it's summer. And on right a picture of Carlton hotel.

Another picture from the walking street and in the middle the other end of the street. The street itself is pretty long. I'd say close to a kilometre.
On the right I think is a building next to Danube river and this is where we left off for the tour.

On the left you can see the main building of Comenius University. An in my opinion, it's really nice. It has this scent of history and yet, it's pretty modern once you go inside. But to avoid misunderstandings, this is not the building I study in.
In the middle a picture from the hills. This is some sort of a monument, but I can't remember what it was about as I didn't go there. Too many steps.
On the right, a view from the castle in Bratislava centre. Despite the weather and fog, you can clearly see the Ufo tower at the other end of the bridge.

Here are a couple of pictures from the castle in the centre. Well it's not in the centre per se, but quite close and you can see it from pretty much everywhere in the city if you've a good view to that direction. In the middle, there's the central yard of the castle. I think this side that you can see was reconstructed or something a while back.
In the last picture, you have a nightly view from Novy Most and the bridge takes to Petrzalka (pardon for my spelling, could be wrong). On the other side you have this huge shopping mall called Aupark.

And as we progress over the bridge, here's a view taken from it. There's a walking path taking below the bridge where the cars go. And here's a picture taken from the other end. And in the middle you can see a picture of the shopping mall. Now, don't get confused as the shopping mall goes far back over there and you can't see the other end. And in the last picture, you can see the inside of the mall.

And the last set again... On left a view from the other side of the bridge. Over there you can see the castle close to Bratislava centre. In the middle a boat floating on the Danube river. I remember it being a hotel of some sort as well. Notice the snow on the ground. It was the only day I've seen snow here.
And the last picture, a beautiful view of the Main Square at night.
