5b) Alternative Bratislava

Since you are going to spend a lot of time here, you will discover much more places than the average tourist. I warn you that maybe you don't find many of this spots interesting or... that you prefer them to the turistical ones! Some of them are unknown even for the locals!

Many places like the I Love Bratislava graffity are just 1 minute away from the tourist stream, but if you don't know the exact location, it can be months until you finally find them.

• I Love Bratislava graffity: Located in the Zochova underpass, it's very popular among erasmus, possibly you will use it as cover picture.
• Fortifications: Very close to the fortification museum in Petrzalka, there are a lot of abandoned bunkers from the World War II, you can take a bike and check all of them since the Bike road is close. Actually, the BS-4 Bunker is open to public during Saturdays, and they will explain you the history of the place, in my opinion, is the best "museum" of Bratislava since it's the most unique.
• Petrazalka promenade: Don't be afraid of this district look, it's not bad at all, there is a decorated path just after Most SNP's first socialist blocks, recognize it by following the grey and red tiles and flowers at the sides. Even if is not beautiful area to walk in, it's a good way to check how people live in this residential area, and there are cheap cafes around. It finishes in Petrzalka train station, from where you can have a bus to the centre.
• Chinese market: If you want to buy cheap shocks, crocs for the hospital or almost anything you need, you should go to the chinese market located in the passage of Obchodna street where Valhalla bar is, it's open during morning and during the working days.
• Botanic garden: Very close to Druzba dorms, it's open during spring and summer and it's for free, it can be a nice afternoon plan since it's very pleasant inside and it has a big ammount of flowers and fruits.
• Danube Promenade: Going from Eurovea to Lafranconi bridge there is a riverside promenade, if the day is not windy is an amazing option for a walk in the afternoon.
• Zoo: Very close to Mylny dormitories is the Bratislava zoo, a perfect cheap plan for a boring afternoon.
