Must see in Bratislava

If you're just passing through Bratislava, and don't have much time, deffinitely go see

  • Hviezdoslav square (the best ice-cream in town is in Lucullus (B) on the corner of Hviezdoslav square and Venturska)
  • the baroque building of the National theater (C)
  •  if you need you can visit Tourist information office (D)
  • the historical town center, the Main and the Franciscan square (E), when you're there you can go take a look at other streets around (Venturska, Panska), it won't take you much time.
  • Michael's gate (F) the last remaining of 3 medieval entrances to the city
  • the castle (G) (entrance to the castle gardens is free). The castle offers beautiful view of the whole city and on the east terrace there are benches in shade of old trees and you can get beverages from a restaurant which is also there. 
The suggested route is only 2.5km long and Zamocka street gets you to the castle without too steep grade.


If you have more time, I would recomment also visiting also
  • the Blue church of St.Elisabeth (D) which is built in unique secession style and unlike any other church I have ever seen.
  • Grosslingova high school building (E) by the same architect and in similar style. The blue church originally served as the school's chapel.
  • St.Martin's cathedral (H) where several Austro-Hungarian emperors (including Maria-Theresa) were coronated, and Kapitulska street which is a beautiful quiet street and looks like it could look a hundred years ago.
