What you can expect

Meet your guide near Ganymede’s Fountain in front of the Slovak National Theatre. From there, set off to explore this once free royal town. Stroll through the cobbled streets, each filled with captivating stories, beginning with the Man at Work and Schöne Naci, local celebrities, and the Main Square with the Old Town Hall.

After a pleasant half-hour walk, arrive at the Primate’s Palace. Take in its impressive façade, then explore its beautiful interiors, including the grand Hall of Mirrors and the piano nobile, home to an exquisite collection of tapestries that tell an ancient love storey inspiring many. Experts say that the value of these tapestries is higher than the value of the building itself!

From this charming location, continue to Michael’s Gate and Corso, lined with noble palaces of aristocrats. Learn where to find the 3-D model of Bratislava that will take your breath away! Meet beloved fairy-tale characters from Hans Christian Andersen, view the iconic UFO Bridge Tower, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the picturesque, lively promenade.

In the final part of our tour, visit the impressive Salvator Pharmacy, and explore St. Martin’s Cathedral, the former coronation church of kings and queens. If interested, peek inside, then take a break to savour a local speciality in a cosy historic café — an ideal spot to unwind. Feel free to ask any questions; our friendly local guide will be happy to share tips on where to eat and how to further enjoy the city on your own.
