DEVIN CASTLE | Things to do in Bratislava, Slovakia | Bratislava Day Trip
Yes, you can get to Devin Castle, right outside Bratislava AND get in for FREE! Details below!
Today, I went to Devin Castle, Slovakia - about 20+ minutes by bus outside the city center. It was an easy Bratislava day trip!
It was HOT and I was so glad to see that they had lots of free drinking water at the castle.
Devin Castle was built in the 800s and remained occupied until the 1400s! It is a great day trip from Bratislava. You can take the bus for free AND get into the castle for free if you get the super-cheap Bratislava Card - you can read about that right here:
There is a cool, though small, museum at the top and it has a spectacular aerial view of the confluence of the Danube and Morava Rivers!

While I was in Bratislava, I stayed at an excellent AirBnB. If you want to give AirBnB a try on your next trip, I recommend you do. You usually get the privacy of a hotel at a far cheaper price, and it makes your trip more personal.
You can get $40 off your first stay by using our referral link:
And if you want to stay at the place I used here in Bratislava, it's worth it! A large private room, shared bath and kitchen, and the owner often leaves tomatoes and fresh cherries from her own plants in the kitchen + free coffee and tea.
And they have chickens, too! Barbora was super responsive and very friendly! Plus, it's in a great location, just a ten minute walk from the castle!

Bratislava, Slovakia | Exploring Ruins of Devin Castle
There is a main castle in the middle of Bratislava, it's main landmark. But a little outside the city is Devin Castle, which holds much more appeal and is more authentic and raw. A highlight of our visit to Slovakia for sure!

Devin hrad: The oldest Slovakian castle
This is short video about one of the oldest Slovakian castle, Devin Hrad, situated near Bratislava.
If you are in Bratislava and you don't know where to go to, this place is definitely worth visiting!
If you want to support me, you can do it here:
Devín Castle, Slovak: hrad Devín or Devínsky hrad
Devín Castle, Slovak: hrad Devín or Devínsky hrad
The site has been settled since the Neolithic Age and fortified since the Bronze and Iron Age and later by Celts and Romans.
The cliff (elevation 212 meters) is an ideal place for a fort due to its position at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. The fort watches over an important trade route along the Danube as well as one branch of the Amber Road.
Devín Castle
The castle stands just inside Slovak territory on the frontier between Slovakia and Austria. The border runs from west to east along the Morava River and subsequently the Danube. Prior to 1989, the Iron Curtain between the Eastern Bloc and the West ran just in front of the castle. Although the castle was open to the public, the area surrounding it constituted a restricted military zone, and was heavily fortified with watchtowers and barbed wire. After the Velvet Revolution the area was demilitarised.
The most photographed part of the castle is the tiny watchtower, known as the Maiden Tower.[2] Separated from the main castle, it balances perilously on a lone rock and has spawned countless legends concerning imprisoned lovelorn daughters leaping to their deaths.
Inside the castle is a sprawling landscape of walls, staircases, open courtyards and gardens in various states of disrepair. They are all, however, made readily accessible by a continuing restoration and archaeological project conducted since the borough of Devín was reclaimed from Nazi Germany which had annexed it shortly before World War II.

Rising defiantly out of a rocky hill at a strategic location overlooking the confluence of the Danube and the Morava Rivers near Bratislava, Devin Castle has been a symbol of Slovak nationalism for more than 1,000 years. The first traces of fortification date from Roman times. By the 10th century, the Great Moravian Empire strengthened the walled settlement and used it as a base for fighting against Frankish overlords. In the 13th c., Devin was held by Hungarian nobles, who added a palace in the 15th c. Napoleon's troops laid waste to Devin in 1809. Devin Castles was the scene of several events connected with the 19th c. Slovak National Revival and an insurrection against the Hapsburg Empire.

ABOUT LOCATION
The castle which witnessed the glory and fall of Great Moravia and was blown up by Napoleon’s army. Later declared to be a national cultural monument of Slovakia. Since it is situated on a high cliff over the Morava and Danube rivers, and standing on the frontier between Slovakia and Austria, it offers beautiful panoramic views and is a very popular place to visit. Come here if you want to soak in the rich medieval history which is mirrored in its ruins :)

Devin Castle is a castle in Devin, so obviously. It is up on hill that overviews Danube and Morava river. If you have been reading my blogs, you know I am fascinated by water, big water like rivers, seas and oceans. I have deep respect and admiration for big waters and in this place we have two big rivers crossing paths, amazing!
Well, it also has huge Neolithic Castle on top, oldest one in Slovakia.
We are driving to Budapest and can’t wait to see it again.
