Why you're safe with the holiday experts

DERTOUR is part of the DERTOUR GmbH group of Frankfurt - one of the world's leading tour operators . We also hold our own ATOL and are members of ABTA.

We've been creating perfect tailor-made holidays to the heart of Europe for 50 years. A lot has changed in that time, but one thing that has always remained the same is our total focus on serving you in the very best way that we can. This includes ensuring your satisfaction and security. It's why DERTOUR is fully licenced with our own ATOL and is also adheres to all the rules and principles of ABTA.

ATOL is a financial protection scheme for holidaymakers travelling on an air inclusive holiday, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority. This protects you from losing your money or from being stranded overseas in the very unlikely event that DERTOUR should go out of business. Our Air Travel Organiser's Licence (ATOL) number is ATOL 1839.

When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive holiday* from us, you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our ATOL.

* The air inclusive holidays we arrange are ATOL protected providing either the person who pays for the booking is present in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk

ABTA was created in 1950 by 22 leading travel companies. It now represents over 5,000 travel agencies and more than 900 tour operators, right across the British Isles. ABTA helps to maintain the highest standards of trading practice for the travel industry and its customers. The ABTA logo is a sign that you can expect choice, value and high levels of service from DERTOUR.

DERTOUR is also fully committed to always try to provide an alternative holiday or route in times of disruption that is out of our control, such as in the event of volcanic ash, disruption to air travel due to heavy snowfall or an airline strike grounding aircraft.

If you have any questions about our ABTA membership or the financial protection provided under our ATOL, please don't hesitate to call us on 020 7290 1104.

Dertour gives you ATOL protection with every flight

Bratislava Travel Guide

The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, is a city of some 450,000 inhabitants located on the River Danube.

Bratislava has a rich history of over 2000 years, dating back to Celtic times. It has been a part of the Roman Empire, attracted royal families such as the Habsburgs and seen coronations of Hungarian kings including the Empress Maria Theresa. However, some of its multiculturalism and charm was damaged during World War II, followed by 40 years of communism. Over the course of these years many have forgotten Bratislava's distinguished past.

Recently the city has undergone a huge transformation and made an amazing comeback, becoming a favourite city break destination with the Old Town freshly renovated. Tourists are discovering the city's charming baroque Old Town and gothic treasures, stylish restaurants, welcoming cafes and buzzing night life.

The beautiful streets of historical Old Town Bratislava are lined mostly with shops offering the finest luxury merchandise, and priced accordingly. An adjacent section of central Bratislava, focused around Obchodna ulica, offers a very different mix of shops, mostly inexpensive.

Slovenská ReÅ¡taurácia

This restaurant serves Slovak traditional cuisine raised to gourmet standards, offering a 'stroll through Slovak gastronomy' - a five-course meal of traditional Slovak favourites such as smoked trout, garlic soup and goose liver with apples.

PraÅ¡ná BaÅ¡ta

Enjoy traditional Slovak cuisine in this cosy 16th-century underground bastion, once part of the city fortifications; there is a garden at the back and occasional live music.

The Slovak Pub

This amazing 11-room pub just outside the Old Town may resemble a Slovak theme park but everything is real. Here you'll find the best value drinks and food and a much more authentic local atmosphere than anywhere in the Old Town.

Paparazzi Cocktail Bar and Restaurant

One of the city's most popular upmarket places is set in a smartly modernised 19th-century building and famed for its superb northern Italian fare, including charcoal grilled steaks - don't miss the spinach with ricotta.

St Martin's Cathedral and its surroundings, particularly the adjacent seminary on Kapitulska Street, give an almost intact physical overview of the environs of a major coronation cathedral.

Bratislava Castle, apart from offering a look at historical architecture and artifacts, gives you a wonderful view of the city, especially pretty in the evening. The castle is being currently renovated.
