Join us for this two hour tour to find out more about the story and history of Bratislava. On the way we will show you the spots that are generally hidden from the sight of a passerby, or the ones you do not know about, if you do not know that local person to show you the cool places. The best way to describe this tour is a fun walk with a local where you see the most unique and nicest highlights of Bratislava.

We will visit the courtyard of the Old Town Hall, the Primates Palace, Blue Church talk about the Gates of Bratislava and much more. If the weather permits, we walk to the Old Bridge and have the most unique skyline view of Bratislava - UFO Bridge, Church Towers and Bratislava Castle all at once.

This tour serves our visitors as a follow-up on the City & Castle tour, where we discuss the basics about Bratislava and Slovakia. We will discuss the importance of Bratislava and the transformation from a medieval to a modern city. The entire tour is without stairs, it is stroller, children and also dog friendly. 

We especially recommend this tour if you have already been to the castle and would like to have a calm stroll around town, perhaps taking a coffee and taking the nicest pictures, whilst learning about what makes our lovely city special.

See you soon 🙂
