Bratislava City and Castle Tour

What to expect

A compact private tour with Taste Bratislava that covers the essentials of the city. You start at Bratislava Castle and Slavín for views over the city and the Danube, take a panoramic drive past the main landmarks and finish with a walk through the medieval streets of the Old Town.

The minivan saves you the climbs between the sights, which suits families and first-time visitors with little time.

Route & highlights

• Bratislava Castle from the outside, with its Royal Baroque Garden
• Slavín War Memorial, one of the best viewpoints over the city
• the Blue Church of St. Elizabeth
• a drive past the Slovak Radio building (the upside-down pyramid), St. Martin’s Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the National Bank, the Parliament and the Slovak National Theatre
• an Old Town walk with Michael’s Gate, the old opera house, the Old Town Hall, the Main Square and the Čumil statue

Before you go

Pick-up is from your hotel or at the Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel, with a start time between morning and mid-afternoon every day. The castle is visited from the outside only.

Choose a morning start on a clear day: the views from Castle Hill and Slavín are sharpest then, and the Old Town is quieter before the afternoon.
