Apponyi Palace

Why visit

Count Juraj Apponyi had older houses rebuilt into this Rococo palace in the 18th century. In the 19th century it passed to the city, which placed its coat of arms above the entrance.

Today the palace belongs to the Bratislava City Museum together with the Old Town Hall next door, and tells the city’s story through changing exhibitions.

What to see

• Viticulture exhibition: the story of winemaking in Bratislava and the surrounding region.
• Slovak National Collection of Wines: an authentic cellar with its own entrance where you can taste wines from Slovakia’s wine regions.
• Temporary exhibitions: changing shows that look at Bratislava from different perspectives.

Plan your visit

Paid admission. A combined ticket covers the palace and the Old Town Hall, or you can buy a ticket for the palace exhibition only.

Some exhibitions are only partly accessible for visitors with limited mobility. Allow about an hour, more if you add the Old Town Hall.

The Primate’s Palace is a minute’s walk away.
