Points forts

A blend of Slovak, Hungarian, and German influences has created a European city unlike any other in Bratislava’s compact medieval Old Town. On this walking tour through Slovakia’s capital, you’ll discover how this strategic location at the crossroads of ancient trade routes shaped its remarkable history. Starting at Rybné Square, you’ll find out how the city evolved from a Roman settlement to a medieval trading post, before becoming an imperial capital and finally a modern European center. You’ll hear how Bratislava served as the coronation city for Hungarian kings when Budapest was occupied by Ottoman forces. As you make your way to the historical Michael’s Bridge where our tour ends, you’ll learn why Bratislava was the chosen site for the signing of the Peace of Pressburg that helped bring the Holy Roman Empire to an end. By the end of this Bratislava walking tour, you’ll have discovered a city where three cultures and 2,000 years of fascinating history converge.

About Bratislava

Bratislava is Slovakia's capital on the Danube, a small city of a hilltop castle, a pedestrian old town, quirky statues and vineyards close by.

Bratislava lies on both banks of the Danube close to the Austrian and Hungarian borders, about an hour from Vienna. Its castle, a white four-towered building on a ridge, looks over the river and the old town below. The pedestrian old town has pastel baroque palaces, the Michael's Gate tower, and St Martin's Cathedral, where Hungarian kings were crowned from the 16th to the 19th century, when Pozsony, as it was then known, was the Hungarian capital.
