Top 10 of Bratislava’s Modern Architecture

1. Eurovea

The modern shopping center opened its doors in 2010 and has become a popular place to shop, live, and relax thanks to its attractive location right on the banks of the Danube. In addition to all the big brands, you will also find great restaurants and cafes with terraces just a few meters from the Danube, which are the ideal refuge during hot summer days or long winter evenings.

2. River Park

Apartments, a luxury hotel, and restaurants, a beautiful view of the Danube, or a relaxation area with lots of greenery – all this awaits you when you visit the multifunctional complex River Park. You will also find a dance school and an exclusive spa with the best view. You can enjoy guaranteed relaxation with a view of the sunset while having a drink on the summer terrace of the Grand Hotel River Park.

3. Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum

The Museum of Modern Art is located a short drive or bus ride from the city center. During the summer months, we recommend a boat trip on the Danube directly to the museum. The entire area is surrounded by a park with an area of ​​over 8000 m2, where you will find sculptures by Slovak and international artists in a permanent exhibition. You can also enrich your visit with coffee and cake with the best view of the Danube, thanks to the panoramic windows.

4. Digital Park

The administrative complex with an unmistakable design is located near the Aupark shopping center. The uniqueness of Digital Park is the large number of relaxation zones ideal for a quick lunch or meeting with colleagues. The pleasant environment of the entire complex is also completed by many green and water areas.

5. National Bank of Slovakia

One of the most striking landmarks of the city is the building of the National Bank of Slovakia, which was inaugurated in 2002 and rises to a height of 111 meters. Among the interesting features of the building are 23 elevators – 6 of which travel at a speed of 3.15 meters per second. Over 1,000 people work at the NBS headquarters, and there is a heliport at the very top.

6. Eurovea City

On the Danube embankment, on the site of a former industrial zone, Eurovea City is now growing – a modern district that takes on the role of the social and cultural center of the city. It will be dominated by the first Slovak skyscraper, Eurovea Tower, which, together with other unique architectural works in conjunction with the humane urbanism of the Spanish architect Beth Galí, will definitively change the skyline of Bratislava.

7. Panorama Towers

Two residential towers have been built near Eurovea, providing a total of 605 apartments on their 33 floors. The project, in an increasingly popular location on the banks of the Danube, offers shops, restaurants, and excellent civic amenities for its residents and visitors. Panorama City was named Building of the Year 2016, also thanks to its modern design and 21st-century architecture.

8. Zuckermandel

The multifunctional complex of 7 buildings located under Bratislava Castle offers, in addition to apartments with views of the Danube or the castle hill, cafes and small shops. More than half of the entire complex is made up of public space, ideal for spending free time with family or friends. The natural urban environment is complemented by the design of the buildings in different facades.

9. Sky Park

One of the latest projects brought the architecture of the world-famous Zaha Hadid to Bratislava in three exclusive residential buildings. The former industrial part of the city has come to life and gained a new flair, thanks to its ideal location near the city center. Sky Park is adjacent to the Danube embankment, which is a popular location for relaxation and gastronomic experiences all year round.

10. Twin City

Another project in the increasingly popular area near the Danube is Twin City, which, in addition to the 24-story tower, also consists of three other office buildings. Bright spaces, triple glazing and charging stations for electric cars are standard. There are also many local cafes and restaurants nearby.
