With the dissolution of the Czechoslovak Republic, Bratislava, the Slovak capital has received a chance to get out of the Prague's shade and make its own way as a European major city. This city can well be termed an 'old European city', since much of its original townscape, featuring a good deal of Habsburg Baroque architecture, is well intact. Its historic district (Stare Mesto) has undergone massive and successful restoration. The city is situated 37 miles (60 km) from Vienna.
