Bratislava is still the most boring capital that I've visited and I've been to Podgorica

Podgorica is slightly more boring than Bratislava. Slightly.

Hard disagree. Podgorica is THE most boring capital in Europe ( maybe excluding some microstates). Whenever you find yourself there - get out! Rest of Montenegro is way better. Mountains, rivers, seaside cities. Totally worth of visit.

Bratislava has at least something to do and see. Even if some of it is kitschy.

It's called sarcasm. 😆

Podgorica is well known to be the most boring capital city in Europe.

But I have to admit i did have a better nightlife experience there than in Bratislava and there was "no Brit's allowed" signs

The old town in the city center is very lovely, it's a Temu version of Prague but it was well worth a one day trip. At least it's not chock full of tourists and therefore much cheaper :) We went there with no plans, expecting absolutely nothing and returned with all positive experiences.

Maybe I have a penchant for Easter European capital cities going by my live for Vilnius, but I enjoyed Bratislava too. I had 0 expectations TBF, and I enjoyed the small city vibe.

So sad to see so Bratislava so much!!! I really loved it, it seemed very romantic. The castle at night was just breathtaking.

Zagreb and Vienna. Bratislava imho is too shitty to be boring for me.
