Enjoy the "Little Big City's" beautiful baroque palaces, charming cobbled streets, and affordable dining.

Welcome to Bratislava, the youngest European metropolis! Rich in history ,with its medieval and Gothic Old Town, baroque palaces, and an impressive castle on one side and the stark-angled communist-era blocks and the unique "UFO bridge" on the other, the "Beauty on the Danube" is surely an intriguing place. This musical city has hosted greats like Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Add the numerous (eccentric) statues, boutiques, hip cafes, and lively nightlife, and influences from many different cultures, and you get a great spot for a city break.

What I love about Bratislava

Sasha

Trip Planner

Having been born and raised here, Bratislava has got a special spot in my heart. I love how compact the city center is and the fact you are never too far away from nature when here - be it one of the many public parks and gardens, lakes, the Danube river, or the Small Carpathians - is a huge plus. Do not miss the Church of St. Elizabeth (also called the Blue Church - you will understand why immediately when seeing it) when visiting the city. Also, stroll alongside the Danube riverbank between Eurovea shopping center and the "UFO" bridge - one of my favorite spots to catch a sunset!

Things to do in Bratislava

Bratislava is highlighted by the city's historical Old Town center. This can easily be traversed on foot and seen in one day but to make the most of your time there, you might want to enlist the services of a private guide. Be sure to visit the Bratislava Castle, St. Martin's Cathedral, and the New Bridge/SNP Bridge lookout tower (known by locals as the "UFO.") If you're staying for more than a night, we highly recommend a wine tour along the Small Carpathian wine route. When we send you your customized itinerary you will be able to choose additional excursions to include in your vacation package or consider adding later.
