The ‘Nearly All’ Tour of Bratislava

What to expect

A private tour with Taste Bratislava for visitors with a single day in town. A local guide combines an air-conditioned minivan with easy walks, so you see the centre as well as sights further out that are hard to reach on foot.

Good for first-time visitors, families and small groups who want the full picture without planning routes and transport.

Route & highlights

• Devín Castle: a ruin on a cliff where the Morava meets the Danube, with views towards Austria; it has stood in ruins since Napoleon’s troops blew it up
• Slavín War Memorial on the hill above the castle, with views over the city
• Bratislava Castle from the outside, with the Royal Baroque Garden
• the Blue Church of St. Elizabeth, an Art Nouveau landmark
• a drive past the Slovak Radio building, St. Martin’s Cathedral, the Presidential Palace 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 every morning from your hotel or at the Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel. There is a coffee or lunch break halfway, so you do not need a big breakfast; food and drinks during the break and the entrance to Devín Castle are paid separately.

Wear comfortable shoes: the paths up to the ruin at Devín are steep and uneven.
