What to expect

A private walking tour of the Old Town with Taste Bratislava. The centre is compact, and a local guide brings the stories of its streets, buildings and statues to life at an easy pace.

A good start for first-time visitors who want their bearings before exploring on their own.

Route & highlights

  • Michael’s Gate, the only preserved gate of the old city fortifications
  • the Main Square with the Old Town Hall, and the Primate’s Palace
  • the historic Slovak National Theatre building
  • St. Martin’s Cathedral, the Gothic church where kings of Hungary were crowned for almost three centuries
  • Čumil, the bronze man peeking out of a manhole

Before you go

The guide meets you at your hotel or at the Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel, by agreement, with a start any time from morning to early evening. The route follows the cobbled streets of the Old Town.

If you have more time, add an extension such as Bratislava Castle or the interiors of St. Martin’s Cathedral or the Primate’s Palace. Arrange it when booking so the guide can plan the route.
