"Slovakia is such an underrated European gem - from its castles, to the wine, and abundance of statues each with its own story - it’s always a pleasant surprise for our guests"

Sarah, Travel Director

See the medieval town hall in Bratislava's Old Town
The capital’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is one of the best things to see in Bratislava, and the Old Town Hall is one of its historical gems. Dating back to the 13th century, the original Romanesque building was the house of the mayor, and today it’s part of a building complex with various architectural styles.
Visit the Freedom Square

Take a walk around Bratislava’s Freedom Square, filled with greenery and the city’s largest fountain. Locally known as Gottko, the square was designed in the 1980s, while the surrounding buildings are reminiscent of the country’s communist era. It’s also the spot where Slovak inventor Ján Bahýľ took off in the world’s first helicopter in 1897.
Check out the Slovak Radio building

The Slovak Radio building is one of the most intriguing Bratislava attractions. It’s built in the shape of an upside down pyramid, with an inner pyramid containing radio broadcast studios. Completed in 1983, the building is a striking relic of Slovakia’s socialist realism era.
Shop for local products at Old Market Hall in Bratislava

Be sure to make a stop at the Old Market Hall on your Bratislava sightseeing tour. Open every Saturday, you’ll find a wide variety of Slovakian food, with local delicacies and fresh farmer’s produce. There’s also plenty of music performances and cultural events to enjoy while you shop.
Take a Danube River Cruise

A tranquil cruise along the famous Danube is one of the most romantic things to do in Slovakia. It’s the second-longest river in Europe and the muse of many artists, and you can explore part of it with Trafalgar. Glide beneath the city’s medieval bridges and see the beautiful architecture of Bratislava’s historic Old Town.
