Bermuda Triangle

Why visit

Locals call the cluster of lanes around Beblavého Street, between the castle and the Old Town, the Bermuda Triangle. By day it is a quiet corner of old Podhradie houses; in the evening its small bars and pubs fill up.

The name is a joke about how easily an evening here gets longer than planned. It is a place to go out in the old town, five minutes from the castle and the cathedral.

What to see

• Bars and pubs: small venues in old houses, with craft beer, local wine and cocktails.
• The lanes: narrow, steep streets below the castle walls, lit by street lamps in the evening.
• Nearby: Bratislava Castle a few minutes uphill and the Main Square about ten minutes on foot.

Plan your visit

The lanes are public and free to walk through. Most bars open in the evening and are busiest on Friday and Saturday nights.

The streets are steep and cobbled, with steps in places, so they are not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. Start with sunset at the castle and walk down.
