Bratislava Region, Administrative region in western Slovakia.
The Bratislava Region covers 2,053 square kilometers between the Little Carpathians mountains and includes both the Záhorie and Danubian lowlands.
The territory transformed from ancient Celtic settlements around 200 BC through Great Moravia times until becoming a Hungarian region and finally establishing current borders in 1996.
The region contains numerous medieval structures, including castles at Bratislava and Devin, along with traditional wine-producing areas in the Little Carpathians.
The region connects to Austria and Hungary through multiple border crossings and maintains frequent public transportation links between its 73 municipalities.
Three protected landscape areas within the region - Little Carpathians, Záhorie, and Dunajské luhy - create a natural corridor for diverse plant and animal species.
