Bratislava Tourist Board Programme
Bratislava City Days will again bring an attractive weekend spent in the city, in its cultural organizations, in the squares, but also in the nearby nature.
Opening of the city gates
April 20, 2024, Primacial Square 09:00 – 09:30 a.m.
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.
We prepared this ceremony in cooperation with the Society of Old Martial Arts and Crafts – TOSTABUR.

You will learn this and even more at the lecture of the Regional Center of the Union of Blind and Visually Impaired Slovakia in Bratislava.
