10 Things to do in Bratislava, Slovakia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
We're visiting Bratislava, Slovakia and in this video we're going to show you guys 10 things to do in Bratislava. Let's get started.
Our first stop was Devin Castle, which is located in Devin, a borough of Bratislava. This is the one attraction we visited that was a little further from the Old Town - a 30-minute bus ride.
Devin Castle is a ruined castle that sits on Slovak territory at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers.
We ate at a restaurant called “Modra Hviezda” which is located at the base of Bratislava Castle and feels like a cave.
Bratislava Castle was Built in the 9th century and modified over the centuries many times over, this 4-towered castle sits perched on a hill overlooking the Danube River.
You get nice views over the Old Town, plus you have the Slovak National Museum & the Baroque Gardens on the north side of the palace.
The following day, we set out to explore the Old Town and stopping cafe for a decadent breakfast.
Bratislava’s Old Town is compact & easy to explore on foot and cover most of the sights in one day. We went on our own do-it-yourself tour finding all sorts of interesting statues & landmarks.
The Blue Church is located on Bezručova Street, which is about a 10-15 minute walk from the Old Town designed in the art nouveau style.
Locals in Bratislava like to say that the best view of their city is from the UFO Bridge because you can’t see the UFO bridge. You get amazing views of Bratislava during sunset.
And while you’re down by the Danube, you can either enjoy a stroll along the river, or go on a sightseeing cruise.
Prašná bašta is another cozy restaurant located at basement level and we had another wonderful meal.
For sports fans be sure to check out a HC Slovan Bratislava ice hockey game. They play in the KHL and the level of hockey and entertainment value is fantastic.
And that’s a wrap for our trip to Bratislava. While we can see the appeal of doing this as a day trip from Vienna, we loved having the extra time to really enjoy the city, try out some great restaurants, and make it to some of the further attractions like Devin Castle. If you have a few days to spare, this is a great little capital to visit.
Any other things to do in Bratislava that we may have missed, feel free to share your suggestions with travellers in the comments below.

Slovak Food Taste Test - Eating in a Cave Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia
Come join us for a Slovak Food taste test as we visit a cave restaurant (Modrá Hviezda) in Bratislava Slovakia for lunch. We ended up ordering 5 different items from the menu including two drinks (wine and beer), two mains (both meat dishes) and a dessert to share. It ended up being a fantastic meal as the Slovak main dishes were hearty, rich and flavorful. We left feeling full and satisfied. The cave atmosphere was also very cool and cozy and we'd highly recommend this place. Keep in mind it is not a budget meal and ordering a couple of meat dishes, drinks and dessert will cost you over 40 Euros most likely.
1) Frankovka modrá red wine (dark skinned late ripening grapes rich in tannin with a spicy character)
2) Zlatý Bažant 'Golden Pheasant' Slovak Beer (12° svetlé pivo light coloured beer 4.7% ABV)
3) Pork chop in walnut crust with honey mustard sauce and roasted potatoes (bravčová kotleta)
4) Rabbit leg with forest mushrooms in a red wine sauce with herb potato herb dumplings (Králik na Šampiňónoch)
5) Homemade Slovak poppy seed dumplings (šúľance s makom)

Slovak Food Taste Test - Eating in a Cave Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia Travel Food Video Transcript:
We are in between castle visits. We just finished visiting Devin Castle. Yeah. Next up is Bratislava Castle but first we need lunch. What is the plan? Well, we've worked up a ridiculous appetite doing all of that walking so we are just going to try to find somewhere to eat nearby this new castle so we're just wandering around and we're going to hopefully find a place really soon. More Slovak Food. Let's go.
Do you remember what kind of wine you got? It is the specialty. It started with Frankovka modrá.
But that was enough exploring for me I think I've earned a beer. Haha. So I'm trying over here Zlatý Bažant 12°. Hopefully I'm saying that right. Bazant.
I have this giant pork chop covered in like crushed walnuts and it comes with a honey mustard sauce (bravčová kotleta) and I also have roasted potatoes.
Pork and honey mustard. Haha. That is amazing. Is it good? This was listed under the traditional dishes section. Yep. So really happy to be trying this.
So my traditional like Slovak main over here is basically it is rabbit leg (Králik na Šampiňónoch). Yep. And then on this part this side I don't know if you can see we've got wild mushrooms. Yeah. In a wine sauce. And then we have dumplings.
Potato dumplings and these are thick and heavy. They look like little pancakes. Yeah, they do. I'm going to grab a bit of that. And Sam chose this just because he read red wine sauce and was like yeah. Yeah. Give me the wine sauce.
Dessert has arrived and once again it looks completely different from what I was expecting. We ordered poppy seed dumplings so I thought maybe with pierogi filled with poppy seed but the dumplings it is like this wormy shape. I would say. And then you have poppy seed powder on top.
Time for price point. So time to wrap that up. That was not a cheap meal. It was 42 Euros but oh it was good. It was just like gourmet food and the most expensive thing we ordered was 14 which was one of the meat dishes.

Modra ceramics in Slovakia Part 2: How to avoid buying a fake.
How to find out whether the piece of Modra ceramics you're about to buy is authentic or fake.
This video is narrated in Slovak. Here's English translation:
[text: title at the beginning] What one should be careful about when buying Modra ceramics: TRADEMARK.
[my narration] Here's one warning.
If you happen to be buying this ceramics in Slovakia, be careful that there is this mark down at the bottom.
At the bottom of the cup or any piece that you're going to buy, there should be this mark Slovak Folk Majolica Modra.
[text] This is how they explained it to us right at their workshop in Modra.
[narration - lady at the workshop speaking ] On each product that the craftsman makes and a painter paints, they put on their mark - it's the craftsman's (unique) mark. And then they put on our trademark - with this trademark you know that it's authentic Modra ceramics, because there are many private individuals around this area who imitate our products and sell as Modra ceramics. But they cannot use our trademark.
[my narration at the end] So be careful that they (the Modra pottery pieces) have this mark.
