Vienna and Bratislava

9 comments
  1. It puts into perspective why Vienna was so critical for the Ottoman expansion into Europe, and also why it became so powerful, as it is the gateway between the Balkans and Central/Western Europe, making it a critical military and trade choke point.

  2. Curious tidbit: you really can’t fly from Helsinki to Bratislava you have to fly to Vienna if you want to visit Slovakia.
