Wonderful places for visiting in Bratislava

It is true that Bratislava is a small city, but it is truly traditional and allows tourists to experience Eastern European culture.

We have done some research on stunning places. Let's discover some beautiful attractions with us.

Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall is one of the oldest structures in Bratislava. The Civic Center was built in 1370 and was also used as a prison and mint.

The old town hall is a stunning building inside and out. The City History Museum takes up most of the space inside. Don't forget to go the basement to see examples of medieval torture equipment and then ascend to the top of the tower to enjoy the magnificent view of the main square of the Old Town of Bratislava.

Danube River

The Danube River is a beautiful place and has always attracted people from all over the world. It is the second-longest river in Europe that runs directly through Bratislava. Floating restaurants, brand-new hotels, and shopping malls are located along the river. There are numerous bridges and shady places, which offer great riverside walks.

Among the many monuments along the river, the most spectacular poles are the barbed wire cores. It reminds the barriers that separated east and west in the communist era.

The port of Danube is located near the historic center, near the National Gallery, and is encircled by lush, colorful gardens and beautiful buildings. For more adventure, there is a downstream canoe trip.

 Devin Castle

The castle is a few miles from Bratislava. Many years ago, it was part of the Roman border. The view of this castle is charming and stunning—plan to visit this castle when you arrive in Bratislava. The castle looks great at sunset.

Visitors can wander through the mazes of stairs, courtyards, and walls that make up the ruins. The most photographed point here is the Maiden's Tower.

Michael's Gate

Michael's Gate was built in 1300 and is the only remaining medieval Gate in Bratislava. You can walk and take a picture (this is one of Bratislava's iconic sights). Or you can go up the top of the tower and enjoy the view of the city for a better experience.

The door to the tower can easily be lost. If you don't know you can ascend the tower, you'll miss it altogether. It takes a long time to find the entrance.

If you look at Michael's Gate from the south side (in the old city), there is a large and heavy wooden door on the arch's right side.

St Elizabeth's Church (Blue Church)

This magnificent Art Nouveau church is located on Bezrucova Street, east of the Old Town. Built-in the 1910s as a chapel at the Gamca (grammar school), it has become a symbol of Slovakia.

On the outside, the church is a blend of Disney-style Romanesque, Baroque, and Oriental designs, painted in blue and white, and rich stucco lines covered in blue glass tiles.

The seats inside are lovely, painted blue with a golden pattern, and above the altar is an oil painting of St. Elizabeth's handing. Go up the tower to see Bratislava from a different angle. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the main square below.
