Full description
You will be picked up from your centrally-located hotel in Bratislava (if staying outside the city center, your meeting is in front of the main entrance to the Park Inn Danube Hotel). Your tour will begin with a short introduction before you begin exploring Hviezdoslavovo Square. You will discover the Opera House and Reduta Building, passing along the "man at work" statue and Schoner Natzi statue to arrive to Bratislava's Main Square. You will then pause at the Roland Fountain where you will here of legends about the famous knight Roland, as well as about the coronation festivities of Hungarian kings in Bratislava. You can take a photo with a Napoleonic soldier as you pass by the Old Town Hall, and discover the Franciscian Church, the oldest sacred building of Bratislava, where the knights of Golden Spurs were knighted. You will then stroll through Franciscan Square to Primate's Palace, where you can marvel at one of Bratislava’s hidden gems: Primate’s Palace (where the Pressburg peace between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Napoleon's France were signed). Next, you will take in the stunning Michael's Gate, before seeing the palace where the Hungarian Parliament used to meet. You will then see the building of Academia Istropolitana, the premise of the first university in the Hungarian Kingdom. At the conclusion of your tour, you will pass by St. Martin's Cathedral, and if you book the 3-hour option, you will also discover Bratislava Castle from where you will gain superb views over Bratislava.

Ms Lubica was a very knowledgeable guide and we thank her for skill and ability to translate. We had a 2hour tour and with only 6 in our group easily covered it in 1.5hours. Overall we felt there was less to see in Bratislava than we expected but the tour was enjoyable.

The three hour walking tour was little tiring. Not advisable for old tourists. The tour guide was very flexible and kind. The overall tour was very informative and covered most of the important places in 3 hours.

Old town largely escaped damage from WW2 so lots of well preserved buildings. Interesting history including recent change to democracy. The town is quite small so the tour could easily be done in 2hrs rather than the 3. Tour also very history heavy so unless you are a real history buff is often quite boring.
