ABOUT THE Free Tour of Bratislava’s Castle and Jewish Quarter

This tour is operated by our partner Explora Bratislava.

 

Begin your journey through Bratislava with a captivating Free Walking Tour led by expert local guides. Uncover the city’s rich history, exploring landmarks from ancient castles to the Gothic beauty of St. Martin’s Cathedral, and venture through hidden alleys and important sites like the Holocaust Memorial and the famous UFO Bridge. Perfect for history and architecture lovers alike, this tour offers an in-depth look at Bratislava’s intriguing past and vibrant present.

 

Dive into Iconic Sites and Local Legends

As we navigate the city, we’ll explore Hviezdoslav Square and the famed Slovak National Theatre, admire Bratislava’s impressive Plague Column, and make our way to the monumental UFO Bridge, the world’s longest cable-stayed bridge. Along the way, learn about the influential figures crowned at St. Martin’s Cathedral and discover the story behind the city’s medieval fortifications. Each site reveals the deep connections between Bratislava’s past and its role today as Slovakia’s capital.

 

Unmissable Views and Engaging History

The Free Tour leads us uphill to Bratislava Castle, where we’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Danube and the preserved gardens dating back to the 13th century. We’ll delve into the strategic importance of the castle’s defenses and see remnants of the old Jewish quarter. Ending at the Slovak Parliament, your guide will share insights into Slovakia’s current political landscape. Join us for an immersive experience through Bratislava’s historical treasures and modern-day highlights!
