Slovak Radio Building
An upside-down steel pyramid on Mýtna Street: the Slovak Radio headquarters, with a concert hall and one of the largest organs in Slovakia.
Why visit
Designed by Štefan Svetko, Štefan Ďurkovič and Barnabáš Kissling, the inverted pyramid took so long to build that it was nicknamed the building of the century. Regular broadcasting started in the mid-1980s, and in 2018 it was declared a national cultural monument.
It is still a working broadcaster, not a museum, so most visitors see it from outside. Walk all the way round: the geometry looks different from every side.
What to see
- The pyramid: the steel-clad inverted pyramid seen from the street and the surrounding park.
- Concert hall: home of the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, with classical, organ and other concerts.
- Organ: one of the largest organs in Slovakia, heard during organ concerts in the hall.
Plan your visit
The exterior is free to see at any time. The interior is open only during concerts and events, which are ticketed.
Allow 20 to 30 minutes for a walk round and photos. The Old Town is about 10 minutes away on foot.
