Welcome to Bratislava
"Beauty on the Danube"
Slovakia's capital, Bratislava, attracts visitors for its natural beauty and rich culture, offering a plethora of landscapes, outdoor activities, historical monuments, and a stately old town. Stare Mesto, its historical quarter, embodies Central European charm with cobbled streets, Baroque architecture, a town hall building, restaurants, and cafes. Beyond this district, the largest city in the country boasts museums, theaters, concert halls, and two palaces. Outdoor lovers come to explore the area's mountains, caves, ski resorts, and spas. Close to the city center visitors come to walk or bike down paths along the Danube River.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Monaco, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Germany, Hungary and Chile
Countries receiving points from most juries / Monaco, Spain and Finland, 23
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Finland in 9th with 10 points from Australia as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Ukraine in 26th, getting 12 points from Russia
A very interesting voting sequence saw the lead change several times throughout. Lebanon, Germany, United Kingdom, Argentina, Romania, Sweden, Monaco and Spain all held the top spot at some point, before Tunisia went ahead towards the end of the voting. This was very surprising since the debutant only took the last qualification spot in its final only 1 point away from being relegated. Monaco won the silver medal and Croatia took the bronze with Romania and Spain rounding out the top 5.
Tunisia becomes the 4th country in the history of Global Music to win on their debut, following in the footsteps of Sweden in GM01, Kenya in GM02 and Cyprus in GM09. This is also HoD, Steph's first participation in GM. Well done Tunisia, Myrath and Steph!
