UFO

Why visit

The saucer-shaped UFO sits on top of the pylon of the SNP Bridge, completed in the early 1970s. A lift takes you up in under a minute.

From the deck the whole city lies around you: the castle and St Martin’s Cathedral right below, the Old Town roofs on one bank and Petržalka on the other.

What to see

• Observation deck: an open-air deck 95 metres above the river with views in every direction.
• Bar: speciality coffee during the day and cocktails at sunset.
• Restaurant: lunch and dinner with the view through the windows.
• Skywalk: a seasonal walk around the outside of the saucer, accompanied by an instructor; booking is recommended.

Plan your visit

Admission to the deck is paid, with tickets at the entrance. The deck is reached by steps from the lift and is not wheelchair accessible; the bar and restaurant are.

Allow 45 minutes, longer with a drink. Sunset is the busiest time. The Old Town is a few minutes’ walk away over the pedestrian path under the bridge’s road deck.
