Where does Bratislava fall behind Vienna, Prague and Budapest in summer?

Give it some serious thought and the answer is surprisingly obvious: classical music.

Prague has the Obecní dům (Municipal House); Vienna has the Mozarthaus (Mozart’s House), Peterskirche (St Peter’s Church) and the Musikverein; Budapest boasts Szent István-bazilika (St Stephen’s Basilica). At these venues, and many others, tourists can regularly spend a summer evening being carried away by classical music.
