Opening of the city gates
April 25, Primaciálne námestie, 09:30 – 10:00 a.m., free entry
The opening of the city gates in a historical version recalls the coronation tradition of Bratislava and symbolizes the openness of the city and the secrets hidden in the stories of its more than 700-year past. The opening of the gate of the Primate’s Palace is depicted as a lyrical story of love and honor, which includes fencing actions, musical entrances and spoken word.
After the victory of good, together with the residents of the city and visitors to the city, we will open the gate of the Primate’s Palace to the sounds of drums and fanfare, and thus Bratislava City Days.
Opening of the gates is prepared by a fencing group TOSTABUR.
Guided tours of the crypts
April 25, 9:00 AM – St. Martin’s Cathedral
Come and see the mysterious underground crypts located 6 meters below the Cathedral of St. Martin, which have undergone a complicated development. In the bowels of the crypts, for example, Cardinal Peter Pázmány (1570 – 1637), who influenced the spiritual and social life in the territory of today’s Slovakia for many years, is buried.
Propeller back on the Danube
April 25, route Old Town – Petržalka at 12:00 and 13:30, route Petržalka – Old Town at 12:45 and 14:15
The Propeller was once a popular and commonly used way to cross from the Old Town to Petržalka. Today, it remains only a historical memory.
During the Bratislava City Days, however, the legendary Propeller will come to life again, and you can enjoy a boat ride between the banks of the Danube with unique views of Bratislava’s landmarks.
Thanks to the LOD company, which provided the Martin boat, you can enjoy this experience free of charge. Reminisce about the old times and share with the next generation what it was like in Bratislava when not so many bridges connected the Old Town and Petržalka for pedestrians.
