The capital, which is located on the Danubes banks, has a vibrant nightlife scene as well as ancient buildings, such as Bratislava Castle, which overlooks the river and affords spectacular views of the city. Visitors to Bratislava can sample traditional Slovakian fare such as cheese and potato dumplings. Visitors can tour one of Europes most picturesque towns, Vlkolinec, which houses the continents largest cluster of traditional central European log cabins and is one of Slovakias seven UNESCO Heritage Sites, just outside the city.
