5 reasons why you will fall in love with Bratislava

The greenest capital in Europe, modern city districts designed by world-famous architects, top art and numerous cafés and restaurants in the historic city center - all this forms the basis of the unique atmosphere of the modern metropolis.

1. excellent food - 85 meters above things

The famous SNP Bridge in Bratislava can not only be admired from below: Take a ride up and discover the UFO restaurant at lofty heights - located 85 meters above the Danube, excellent Mediterranean and Asian cuisine awaits you here. The city lies at your feet right at your table. Historic buildings in the vicinity of the Danube and the modern skyscrapers create a very special atmosphere, which is particularly exciting in the evening.


2. world art & nature - in an intimate embrace

A privileged location and attractive exhibitions - these are two of the main reasons why the Danubiana Gallery has been consistently recommended by recognized travel guides and tourism portals for years. Works by world-famous artists such as Joan Miró, Sam Francis and Lucebert have already been exhibited here. A walk on the roof of the museum is also exceptional: the view of Bratislava, the Little Carpathian mountain range and the majestic Danube is an unforgettable experience - especially at sunset.


3. the favorite city of Maria Theresa

Bratislava Castle - in the form of an upside-down stool - has witnessed many historical events. After extensive reconstruction, it has been restored to the dignified form of a representative Baroque residence, which was shaped by Maria Theresa in the second half of the 18th century. Its courtyards regularly come alive with classical music concerts and theatrical performances. One of the most beautiful views of the city can be enjoyed from its east terrace. The French Garden, which was renovated according to the original plans of Maria Theresa's architect, is also not far from here.


4. the second greenest metropolis in Europe

Green nature has always been a priority for Bratislava. One of the oldest public parks in Central Europe - Sad Janka Kráľa - can be found in the Petržalka district. It is an excellent place for a stroll, where you can admire two-hundred-year-old plane trees or find a sculpture of your own zodiac sign. Other parks in the city center that follow this long green tradition include the Medická záhrada (Medical Garden), the Horský park (Forest Park) and the Prezidentská záhrada (Presidential Garden).


5. traditional art in the modern quarter

The connection of the promenade by the business center, the waterfront and the square towards the theater is an exceptional element within the city. Modern Bratislava is also strongly characterized by the new Slovak National Theatre building clad in white travertine natural stone and the Eurovea shopping center. You will not only find renowned fashion brands here, but also cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy a refreshing drink on the pleasant promenade along the banks of the Danube with a view of Bratislava Castle.
