A day in Bratislava

Hi everyone,

I’m just passing through Bratislava quickly (one afternoon, one night, one morning) and I’d love to see the highlights of the city. I’ve put together a little itinerary—feel free to let me know what you think!

Start at the castle and its beautiful viewpoint Visit the Baroque gardens St. Martin’s Cathedral, quick visit National Theatre Discover the Cumil statues Primatial Palace via Hlavné Namestie Michael’s Gate Grassalkovich Palace via Obchodna Walk across Namesti Slobody to head back to the upside-down pyramid Head down to the Blue Church Cross the Danube to see Sad Janka Krala, then return via the UFO Bridge There you go—10 km and a packed day! What do you think?

Thanks, Stéphane.

A great quick tour. My favorite street in the old town is Kapitulska—it’s not touristy, with classic old buildings that are more or less run-down. It’s right next to St. Martin’s Church, and you can walk up it a bit before heading back toward the center.

Between Michael’s Gate and the presidential palace, you can take a little detour through Postova Street. There are some interesting sculptures there (including the famous mailbox with the girl on a skateboard).
