Summary/Abstract: This contribution deals with the topic of cooperation of Bratislava and Prague in the fields of tourism, development of infrastructure, preservation of historical monuments, sharing experiences etc. These cities have many common features and they are all very attractive for tourists. They have a long history and their mutual relations have a solid tradition. Problems of municipalities and their inhabitants are very similar, so the exchange of experiences in solving them may be useful for all concerned partners. I mention as well partnership with two other capital cities in the area of Central Europe – Budapest and Warsaw. The main goal of this paper is to analyse the form of current cooperation and I also try to focus on the extension of opportunities in these spheres. Bratislava, Prague, Budapest and Warsaw play an important role in foreign relations and in presentation of countries abroad. Politicians from all around the world visit them and they are usually the first stop for travellers who come to Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. Moreover, almost all relevant state institutions are functioning there.
