Bratislava is the capital and largest city of Slovakia, home to approximately 475,000 residents. It operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST). Bratislava holds the unique distinction of being the only national capital in the world that borders two sovereign countries — Austria to the west and Hungary to the south. The city is just 60 km from Vienna, making the two capitals the closest pair of national capitals in the European Union. Bratislava served as the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary from 1536 to 1783 (during Ottoman occupation of Budapest), and 11 Hungarian kings and queens were crowned in its St. Martin's Cathedral. The Old Town, dominated by Bratislava Castle on a rocky hill above the Danube, offers panoramic views over three countries. Slovakia has one of Europe's fastest-growing economies, and Bratislava is home to the European headquarters of several major automotive companies — Volkswagen has its largest global factory just outside the city.
