The city center of Bratislava is really pretty. The touristic aeria is interesting and easily accessible. The best way to visit is to walk in the city. The tram and buses would be a waste of time.

From the castle you can see across the rows and rows of communist housing blocks extending pretty much as far as you can see. There are some nice little courtyards to be found and great restaurants.
