Slovakia Tours

Bratislava is straight out of a picture postcard. The Slovakian capital flits between fairy tale castles and Soviet-era structures set amid the rugged Carpathian mountains. Perched close to the Austrian and Hungarian borders, this city is best discovered on a cruise along the mighty Danube River that flows through it.

Start your exploration of Bratislava at Hlavne Namestie, the Old Town Square. Surrounded by Gothic buildings including the 14th century Old Town Hall complex and Roland’s Fountain, this is the cultural epicenter of the city. Make your way to the Blue Church, a sublime architectural highlight in shades of powder blue and gold.

Towering over the city is the Bratislava Castle, rebuilt several times over the years, ever since the foundations of the fortress were laid back in the ninth century. A fire destroyed much of the castle in the early 19th century, and it was built again in the 1960s. Stroll its lush gardens and climb up the Crown Tower for sweeping views.

From the futuristic UFO Bridge to the Gothic St. Martin’s Cathedral, Bratislava is full of contrasts and intrigue.
