Bratislava and Ljubljana have made the shortlist of 10 finalists for the European Capitals of Smart Tourism 2020 competition. The respective capitals of Slovakia and Slovenia were chosen for their commitments to meeting the challenges of a fast-moving travel industry in the digital world. Bratislava scored highly with its inter-city travel accessibility, alongside its barrier-free public transport, which offers unlimited travel between zones. The capital even boasts a tactile Roman exhibition for the visually-impaired. Ljubljana was chosen because of its charm, on the one hand as a small capital but on the other hand as a facilitator for smart ideas. “Bratislava is one of Europe’s most innovative cities when it comes to smart tourism,” said Juraj Škorpán, CEO of the Slovak National Tourist Office.
