Morning light leaves Prague asleep as your driver eases out of the city and the rhythm of the highway replaces tram bells. Four hours later the Danube appears first as a flash, then as a wide ribbon beneath the cliff that holds Bratislava Castle. You step onto cobbles, feel the castle’s stone warmth, and walk streets that open onto a Baroque square and the blue cupola of St. Elisabeth’s Church.
