UFO and Blue Church Circuit with PREŠPORÁČIK OLDTIMER®
Cross the Danube in the red Prešporáčik® Oldtimer, take the lift up the UFO tower, then ride back past the riverfront and the Blue Church.
What to expect
A seated ride with Tour4U in the red Prešporáčik® Oldtimer that crosses to the other side of the Danube. From the bridge and the UFO observation deck you see the Old Town and the castle in a way you cannot from the centre itself.
Entrance to the UFO is included. An easy choice for families and anyone who wants the views without planning the route.

From 7 January to 31 March the ride runs on Fridays and Saturdays only, and there is no service on 24 and 25 December or 1 January. Go on a clear day and head straight for the lift at the UFO stop, as the break is short.
