Bus from UŽICE to BRATISLAVA

About the station UŽICE

In the basin of the Đetinja River, bordered by the peaks of Tara, Maljen and Zlatibor, below the remains of a medieval fortress, lies the city of Užice, the center of the Zlatibor District, where more than 70 thousand people live today. Užice is a regional center of culture, tourism, metal and mechanical industry and fruit growing. This hilly and mountainous region is dominated by forests, and the highest peak, Tornik, is located on Mount Zlatibor. The highway from Belgrade to the coast passes through Zlatibor, and direct bus lines have been established with Belgrade, Novi Sad and other cities. The Belgrade - Bar railway line also passes through the city, and bus lines are also well connected with surrounding cities.

Užice is an area that uniquely combines modern and traditional, original cultural flows and traditional life from the past.

The first reliable mention of the city was found in a document from the Dubrovnik Archives dated October 9, 1329.

In the 16th century, Užice was the center of a district and a kadiluk, and during the 17th century it became an important craft and cultural center.

In the very center of Užice, on St. Sava Square, the famous Jokanović House rests on wooden pillars. Built a long time ago, but renovated in the last decade and transformed into a museum exhibit, which with its appearance, furniture and beauty depicts bourgeois life in Užice at the end of the 19th century.

Užice offers a number of the best restaurants that serve very tasty and affordable food, mainly from traditional cuisine. Most of these restaurants are located in a pleasant environment, on the banks of the Đetinja River and next to Užice's conifers and mountainous areas.

Special attention is paid to rural tourism, which, combined with the wealth of flora, water and clean air, makes this area wonderfully unified. Tourism has been flourishing for decades, and the Tara National Park, Zlatibor Nature Park and Mokra Gora have contributed greatly to this.

About the destination BRATISLAVA

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia, and with a population of about 450,000, the country's largest city. Bratislava is in southwestern Slovakia, occupying both banks of the River Danube and the left bank of the River Morava. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two sovereign states. Vienna and Bratislava, the nearest capital cities in Europe (only 60 km) were once connected to an electric tram.

The city received its contemporary name in 1919. Beforehand it was mostly known in English by its German name, Pressburg, as it was long dominated by Austrians and other German-speakers.

Bratislava lies in the north temperate zone and has a moderately continental climate. During the summer the temperature can rise to 30 C, sometimes even more. During the winter, the temperature is about 0 C, but at night, and they can go lower than -10 C. If it snows, the snow cover will not last longer than a few days.

On the eastern bank of the Danube is the old historic part of the city, while in the west the new modern part. Bratislava has always been one of the main cultural centers of Central Europe.

What to see in Bratislava:

Bratislava Castle is one of the most prominent structures in the city. The castle hill site has been inhabited since the transitional period between the Stone and Bronze ages and has been the acropolis of a Celtic town, part of the Roman Limes Romanus, a huge Slavic fortified settlement, and a political, military and religious centre for Great Moravia. A stone castle was not constructed until the 10th century, when the area was part of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Devín Castle is the ruined and recently renovated castle in the borough of Devín, on top of a rock where the Morava River, which forms the border between Austria and Slovakia, enters the Danube. It is one of the most important Slovak archaeological sites and contains a museum dedicated to its history. Due to its strategic location, Devín Castle was a very important frontier castle of Great Moravia and the early Hungarian state. It was destroyed by Napoleon's troops in 1809. It is an important symbol of Slovak and Slavic history.

Rusovce mansion, with its English park, is in the Rusovce borough. The house was originally built in the 17th century and was turned into an English neo-Gothic-style mansion in 1841–1844. The borough is also known for the ruins of the Roman military camp Gerulata, part of Limes Romanus, a border defence system. Gerulata was built and used between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.

Parks and lakes. Due to its location in the foothills of the Little Carpathians and its riparian vegetation on the Danubian floodplains, Bratislava has forests close to the city centre. The largest city park is Horský park (literally, Mountainous Park), in the Old Town. Bratislavský lesný park (Bratislava Forest Park) is located in the Little Carpathians and includes many locales popular among visitors, such as Železná studienka and Koliba.

Bratislava's zoological park is located in Mlynská dolina, near the headquarters of Slovak Television. The zoo, founded in 1960, currently houses 152 species of animals, including the rare white lion and white tiger. The Botanical Gardens, which belong to Comenius University, can be found on the Danube riverfront and house more than 120 species of domestic and foreign origin.
