Bratislava is a city full of surprises, with large and beautiful monuments, surprising buildings from Art Nouveau

This 51-metre tower is the only preserved gate of the four towers that adorned the city walls. It is the North Gate, and it dates from the 14th century.

Obchodna Street is certainly the most commercial street in Bratislava.

The palace was built in 1646 with the aim of becoming the residence of Count Paul IV Palffy, President of the Hungarian Royal Chamber.

This rather surprising statue located only a few meters from Bratislava Castle is a true tribute to many Slovak women burned or thrown into the Danube, because they were considered witches.

Here you are in front of the flagship monument of Bratislava. The castle is located on a hill that has been inhabited for millennia and was occupied by the Celts in the 2nd century BC. C., who had built an oppidum there, a small fortified city.

Located on the top of the hill, Bratislava Castle allows you to go back in time and understand much of the history, but also enjoy magnificent panoramas of the so-called Beauty on the Danube.

12

This is the largest and most important church in Bratislava. It is indeed the seat of the archbishop of the city.

This square, which I will not do you the honour of saying, is one of the most important squares in the city. It is certainly one, if not the most famous square.

The majestic building in front of you is the Slovak National Theatre, which houses a performance hall where theatre, ballet and opera performances take place between September and June.
