http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20985 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20985 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12138 Bratislava's friendly, pedestrianised Old Town is packed with places to find superb ice cream, made with real fruit and no artifical additives, from stalls on historic squares to little hole-in-the-wall spots. Try varieties like lemon,strawberry, apple, hazelnut, coffee, After Eight, Bounty, cappuccino, vanilla, nougat and one that looks like bright carrot gelato but is, apparently, vitaminova!
Two great ice cream bars are at:]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12138 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12057
It has a much more relaxed, easy-going and friendly ambience than many other European capitals and, because there are no cars, you can try all the superb Slovak beers, wines and fiery spirits, tottering from one bar to another without fear of being mown down by a Skoda in a hurry.

Highly recommended for gourmets and bon-viveurs everywhere.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12057 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12056
The Slovaks have done a fantastic job of recreating a steamy Havana atmosphere and the elegant domed ceilings and walls are covered with black and white photos of Cuban nightlife.

Great mojitos (175Sk) with Angostura bitters. Pricey but superb food and live music every night from nine pm. There's a friendly Cuban guy who welcomes visitors at the door.

Typical of the relaxed, welcoming and laid-back atmosphere in Bratislava's pedestrianised Old Town.

Don't listen to comments from boorish, drunken stag partyers from the UK: Bratislava is one of the safest, friendliest and cheapest city break destinations in Europe.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12056 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8224 Best of all is the pizza ... you pay about £4 for a huge pizza, stone-baked and very nice. Good selection as well, and when you have finished that, the ice cream place next door is well worth a trip. If you are going to 17's at night, be aware that it is very popular with the stag parties, but it's OK for one or two of the cocktails, which are very well made.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3130 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3130 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2690 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2690 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2689 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2689 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2687 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2687
