Bratislava Beer Tour

What to expect

A guided walking tour of the historic centre that follows Bratislava’s beer tradition. Beer was brewed here as early as Celtic times and competed with wine for centuries; people once drank it instead of water, and many still see it as more food than drink.

The tour ends with two glasses of local beer and matching snacks in a typical microbrewery and pub. An easy-going way to see the Old Town, especially for groups of friends.

Route & highlights

• the historical building of the Slovak National Theatre
• the Slovak Philharmonic in the Reduta building
• St. Martin’s Cathedral
• the Main Square with the Old Town Hall and the Primate’s Palace
• the spot where the beer bell once rang for last orders

Before you go

The route follows cobbled streets in the Old Town. Plan a proper meal before or after, as the tasting comes with snacks only and Slovak pub food such as bryndzové halušky is worth trying. The meeting point, date and any specific access needs are arranged with the organiser when booking.
