Storm clouds gather above Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. With a population of above 400,000, it is also the country's largest city. It is located in southwestern Slovakia on both banks of the Danube River. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two independent countries. Bratislava and Vienna are two of the closest European national capitals to each other, at less than 60 kilometres (37 miles) apart.
