This year’s IFD Congress and IFD AWARD will be held in Bratislava. Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Danube and borders directly on Austria and Hungary. With a rich history dating back to Roman times, the city was once the coronation site of Hungarian kings. Today, Bratislava combines historical charm with modern dynamism. The imposing Bratislava Castle and the old town with its narrow streets and baroque buildings attract tourists. As the economic and cultural center of Slovakia, the city offers numerous museums, theaters and festivals. Thanks to its location and diversity, Bratislava is a fascinating destination in Central Europe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
