Winter city view

Bratislava, capital of Slovakia

Junior suite bed

Probably one of the nicest hotels in the city. Perfect location, right in the center, next to the river bank, with old town across the street, and the main city square at the door. The smoking bar offers a good drink choice, and restaurant has a great selection for all tastes.

Indoor pool

A bit outside of the city, but close to business area, this hotel features good restaurants, fitness center, and an indoor pool.

Counter decoration

With cold war / Russian occupation style decoration, this unique restaurant with great atmosphere serves amazing local food. Mostly plates with grilled meat - and for an affordable price.

Beef tartare served with bread and garlic

Traditional Slovakian restaurant, with a good food choice for real local price. You can easily watch some games there, and can go with a large crowd, their tables can host 10 groups. Probably not the most comfortable or quiet place for a date, but a good local address for a real Slovakian meal with friends.

Schnitzel

Good restaurant with local cuisine, an enjoyable stop during a city tour.

cake and coffee

Contemporary “breakfast” place, perfect for a morning meal (English breakfast, local, …) or a full meal (burger, some more traditional meals, …). Very good choice of local cakes, English friendly, comfortable place and creative menu.

wiener schnitzel

Contemporary pub, situated on Bratislava’s main street – although the entrance is on the back of the building. Large choice of local meals, good and fast service, affordable and tasty.

Jousting knights

An amazing castle, only 30 min away from Bratislava. With a large free outdoor space to visit and wander around. In summer, some amazing events are organized - like knights championship, with several houses from different countries jousting together.

Bunker entry

Got a car, and in Bratislava ? Then do a small detour to visit this World War 2 bunker, at the border with Austria. Well preserved, the outdoor is as interesting as the indoor, for which the visit is quite short, less than half an hour.

Their original Bratislava Free Walking Tour is a tour of the Old & New Town Highlights. Entertaining & informative; our energetic local guides introduce Slovakia’s culture, traditions, current events, history and future in a modern-day context.

Outdoor ice rink

Visiting Bratislava in winter, when the city is the most beautiful ? Then while touring the old town, a stop in Frantiskanska square will most likely have an outdoor ice rink.

Ice hockey match

Ice hockey is one of the most popular sports in Slovakia - they hosted the world cup in 2011, and they play in KHL league. Do not hesitate to support the local team, Slovan Bratislava, at one of their matches !

Pool table

Student bar, with entertainment and good ambiance most evenings - especially on weekends. Prices are very affordable, and there is a pool (billiard) table, table soccer, darts, ...

Main bar

Nice club on 3 floors with different ambiance. Not very huge, but enjoyable.

Party is on

Good place to start the party night, although a bit small. Mostly contemporary / electronic music, with limited dancing space and bar waiting time. However, nice place to spend some time.

Main market

As in most cities in Europe, the Christmas market in Bratislava is a must see ! With a lot of different markets throughout the city, they offer many local products. Of course, the mulled wine is also present, to keep guests warm on cold days and long walks outside.
