Is Bratislava, Slovakia Worth Visiting?
Is Bratislava, Slovakia worth visiting? I had no idea what to expect but within five minutes of arriving I knew this was going to be good. This European capital city really charmed me and it's well worth visiting. It’s a one hour drive from Vienna, Austria, which makes a perfect day trip. If you can spend a bit more time, even better.
How much is it to stay in Bratislava? Tour my Airbnb:
Visit the Bratislava Christmas Market with me:
The first thing I saw was the SNP Bridge or, as locals call it, the UFO Bridge which crosses the Danube River. SNP stands for Slovak National Uprising but the nickname comes from the flying saucer shaped restaurant that sits at the top of the bridge pylon. Unfortunately, the construction of the bridge meant that a large portion of the beautiful Old Town was destroyed, including almost the entire Jewish quarter.
St. Martin’s Cathedral, one of the city’s most historically important buildings, narrowly missed the bridge construction. The access ramp for the bridge is extremely close to it and the church is actually sustaining damage due to all the vibrations from the busy traffic. The cathedral was where Hungarian kings (and one queen!) were crowned for hundreds of years. Leaders of the Habsburg Empire, including the one and only Maria Theresa, had their coronations there between 1563 and 1830. There’s a crown at the top of the steeple sitting on a golden pillow which gives a hint of how significant this place is. On the sidewalk below there are little crown symbols that show the coronation procession route taken by royals on their way to St. Martin’s. You can follow them through the town, if you’d like to walk in their footsteps.
The best view of the cathedral is from Bratislava Castle which sits above the city. The hill has been populated since the Stone Age and the first known inhabitants were the Celts. There are a bunch of stairs to reach the castle but it’s well worth it. I love the crisp white colour of the castle with its four towers. I think it’s the best spot to see the sunset because the warm light at dusk is beautiful.
Michael’s Gate is the only surviving gate to the old city. There used to be four city gates and they were the only way in and out during medieval times. Michael’s Gate was built in the 13th century and in the 17th century a moat was added complete with a draw bridge that went up and down.
Nearby Michael’s Gate is Executioner Alley. It’s where the town executioner used to live and, because the city only had one, his house had to be clearly marked for anyone, um, needing him. The residence is now a massage centre which I found pretty funny.
If you’re in need of good luck there are some statues in Bratislava you can touch. One is of a man standing in a gutter at an intersection called ‘The Watcher.’ It’s considered good luck to touch his head. If you still need more luck, head over to the statue of Hans Christian Andersen and rub his finger. He visited Bratislava and it even inspired some of his writing.
One of my favourite spots in Bratislava is the Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary or, as it’s better known, the Blue Church. Everything from the façade to the mosaic tiles to the roof is blue. Inside the art nouveau building even the pews are blue. This church is a really popular spot to get married and it takes years to get a booking.
A building that has been given the honour of being one of the ugliest in the world is also found in Bratislava: the Slovak Radio Building. This inverted pyramid is an excellent example of Brutalist architecture from the Communist era in Slovakia. Whether you love it or hate it, I doubt you’ll forget it.
We did a great free walking tour which I can highly recommend. If you’re interested, this is the company:
Does Bratislava look like a place that you’d like to visit? I’m curious what, if anything, surprised you in the video - leave a comment below.

Eran & Shira The Travellers - Arrtactions In Bratislava, Slovakia ערן ושירה - אטרקציות בברטיסלבה
המדריך המקיף לברטיסלבה, סלובקיה - ההסבר והמידע הניתנים כאן מתחת הם באנגליתסלובקית בכדי לאפשר לכם לזהות את האתרים השונים במדריך כפי שהם נכתבים בשפה המקומית. דירוג המלון בו שהינו הוא דירוג אישי שלנו, כאשר 5 כוכבים הוא הטוב ביותר, וכוכב אחד הוא הגרוע ביותר.
ברטיסלבה – המוטו המרכזי: בין רוסיה למערב חיים למעלה מ-150 מיליון סלאבים. אם נתאחד אנו המדינה הגדולה באירופה.
סצנת אוכל מרכזית – האלושקי.
האתר השווה ביותר בעיר – ברטיסלבה משופעת בשלל אתרים מרתקים. אולם, אם עלינו לבחור באטרקציה אחת שלא כדאי לכם לפספס, מתברר שמדובר במשימה לא פשוטה. לפיכך, אנו בבית יעקב (בית העיריה הישן) השוכן בלב העיר העתיקה כאזור אותו לא כדאי לכם לפספס.
יתרון – היתרון הגדול בברטיסלבה טמון בכך שהעיר העתיקה שלה קומפקטית ונוחה לסיור רגלי, אמנם היא אינה זולה יחסית, אך היא מרתקת. כמו כן, מדובר בעם מסביר פנים וידידותי לתייר בצורה בלתי רגילה. ועם זאת, מדובר בעיר שחיה בצילה של העיר פראג במדינה השכנה. לו יכלו, היו הסלובקים מבקשים עוד היום להתאחד שוב עם הצ'כים. אולם נראה כי כאן מדובר בשאיפה חד צדדית שלה לא שותפים אחיהם הצ'כים.

Najkrajšie, najdokonalejšie, najúžasnejšie video od ML... Nie, Somewhere in Slovakia 2 (SiS2) nie je pravdepodobne ani jedno z toho. Jedná sa opäť o malý, jednoduchý projekt časozberného videa z rôznych kútov Slovenska. Pripravte sa na rýchly prelet cez naše najvyššie štíty, prechádzku po hrebeňoch národných parkov, pád do tých najhlbších roklín Slovenského raja ale taktiež na zaujímavé pohľady na naše krásne mestá. SiS2 chce v takmer 150-tich sekundách ponúknuť zo Slovenska tak veľa, ako sa len dá.
Somewhere in Slovakia is small, noncommercial time lapse video from different parts of Slovakia. It will take you to our beautiful national parks, show you the best unknown views and you can see some of our nicest cities. It took me 8 months, thousands of kilometers in car, and hundreds kilometers of hiking and one month of post processing. SiS2 wants to show you as much as possible in 150 sec. of time. Enjoy, comment, follow.
