The streets of the Old Town is crowded by mostly tourists but then I did find that the walk throughout the alleys and backstreet of the old town of Bratislava to be enjoyable. The crowd is just nice, without being too overcrowded like usual Asian city streets and the weather is cool. Bratislava is often referred to as “large village” by the locals, because apparently you cannot walk down the street without meeting a person you know. Looking at the density of the population at the city centre, I suppose I bound to bump into someone I know if I reside at Bratislava. The city is after not like other metropolitan cities, which never sleep. 

I saw that there are many shops scattered around the Old Town, especially on the main street called Obchodna. The name of the street literally means Shopping Street and you really can find a lot of shops here from souvenir store to bars, pubs, fast-food and restaurant. When I google online, it seems that there is a famous shopping mall with a beautiful river promenade named Eurovea shopping centre but I did not have the time to visit the shopping mall. 

Since it’s one month away from Christmas when I visited the Old Town of Bratislava, the souvenir store has started displaying homecrafted Christmas decoration. The christmas tree balls are so pretty but I do not really have the habit of putting up Christmas tree at my home since I’ve grown up because of the many hassles involved in putting up one. 

I’ve gotten pretty hungry after wandering around checking out one thing after another so it’s time to appease my groaring tummy. There are so many options to choose at the Old Town because the restaurants here are pretty international. They have Mexican, Italian, Slovakian and also British food. The tour guide (who often visited Bratislava) recommended Lochness Scottish Pub so I just ate together with him there since he should be the expert in this area anyway. 

The serving size of the food is huge here so I really suggest sharing. The size of the burger is huge and enough to feed two people nicely. It comes with three types of sauces and a basket of fries and onion rings. I was happily stuffed. In a Scottish Pub. At the Old Town of Bratislava. This sound weird and so mixed-up but that’s what basically happened.
