Castle Circuit with PREŠPORÁČIK OLDTIMER®

What to expect

A seated sightseeing ride with Tour4U in the red Prešporáčik® Oldtimer, under a transparent or open roof. It takes you through the parts of the city outside the former medieval walls and up the hill to Bratislava Castle, so you see the castle without the climb.

An audio guide tells the stories of the buildings along the way. A good choice for families with children and for a first look at the city.

Route & highlights

• the Slovak National Theatre and the Slovak Philharmonic
• the Slovak Radio building, the upside-down pyramid
• Grassalkovich Palace, the seat of the President, and the Parliament
• a stop at Bratislava Castle: the courtyard, the Baroque garden and views over the city and the Danube
• the fortification walls and St. Martin’s Cathedral on the way back to the Old Town

Before you go

The ride starts at the Tour4U stand on Hviezdoslav Square, in front of the historic Slovak National Theatre building. Tickets are sold at the stand, at the Tour4U office on Panská Street and, in season, on Rybné námestie; groups should reserve a date and time in advance.

The tour runs all year except Christmas Eve. Use the castle stop for photos from the terraces on the river side: on a clear day you can see across the Danube into Austria and Hungary.
