Nitra — the oldest Slovak city, under Zobor Hill
Ninety kilometres from Bratislava — an easy hour by motorway — Nitra sits at the base of Zobor Hill, where Slovak written history begins: the first Christian church of the Slavic world stood here in the 9th century.
The castle and cathedral crown a compact old town below vineyard slopes; for groups staying in Bratislava it makes an unhurried day trip, and pairs naturally with Trnava on the way back.
