Bratislava Old Town and Castle Tour

In Summer 2023 we are running a single combined general tour daily at 11am which includes the castle.

Bratislava has always been a very multicultural city. It was a city of famous composers, clergy and very importantly, the city of kings and queens. Its function was changing throughout the decades. Join us on the journey of thousands of years of our city’s rich history. From the stone age followed by the Celtic era, through the golden times to the modern day.  

This tour provides a perspective on how each period shaped Bratislava’s development; culturally, economically and architecturally. Walking through Bratislava’s charming cobbled-stoned streets breathing with coronation history, together we explore the Old Town’s major sites before climbing up to Bratislava Castle.
