ABOUT THE Free Tour of Bratislava
This tour is operated by our partner Explora Bratislava.
Join our expert local guide on a Free Walking Tour through Bratislava, where you’ll uncover the rich history and vibrant culture that make this city truly unique. Starting at the iconic Hviezdoslav Square, you’ll take in the beauty of the Slovak National Theatre and the captivating architecture that surrounds it. Every stop brings you deeper into the story of Slovakia, from medieval walls to beloved statues.
Step Back in Time at Bratislava’s Most Famous Sites
From the famous Cumil statue with its intriguing folklore to the Old Town Hall marked by a real cannonball from the Napoleonic Wars, you’ll witness a blend of history and legend. Our local guide will share stories of ancient floods and fortifications as we explore the medieval Michael’s Gate and the surrounding barbacan and moat. And as we venture into the New Town, prepare to be amazed by the stunning Blue Church, a true Art Nouveau masterpiece.

Our Free Tour concludes near the banks of the Danube River, where the scenic views of Bratislava Castle and St. Martin’s Cathedral make for a picture-perfect finish. As you stroll through the city’s bustling streets, enjoy fascinating insights into Slovakian culture, history, cuisine, and folklore, making this a must-do for anyone visiting Bratislava.
