Discover Bratislava 2026

The whitewashed castle, perched on a hill above the old town with its four striking corner towers, offers a sweeping panoramic view over the Danube and today houses parts of the Slovak National Museum.

The compact, car-free old town, with its main square Hlavné námestie, Baroque palaces and the bronze statue of Čumil, the construction worker curiously peeking out of a manhole, invites a relaxed stroll through the Slovak capital.

The futuristic, UFO-shaped observation tower on the New Bridge over the Danube offers an extraordinary panoramic view from about 95 meters up, where on clear days the borders with Austria and Hungary can even be seen simultaneously.

Hungarian kings and queens were crowned for centuries in the Gothic coronation church of St. Martin, and the golden crown atop the tower still recalls this significant historical role of Bratislava today.

Bratislava Airport lies only about nine kilometers from the center. Alternatively, many travelers use the nearby Vienna Airport and reach Bratislava from there by bus in about an hour.
