Boat Tours – Bratislava

Experience Boat Tours in Bratislava

Best things to do in Bratislava: The capital of Slovakia has plenty to boast about when it comes to attractions. There’s Bratislava castle that dominates the skyline and the medieval old town. Even a wander around the streets is enough to peek any tourist’s appetite. Keep an eye out for the Blue Church with its art nouveau design. Cumil (see below), and the Presidential Palace with its public gardens are all worth seeking it.

Top tips for visiting Bratislava: Be aware of Mondays! Not just because it’s the first day of the week, but because most museums and attractions are closed on this day. Leave the culture behind for a day and go for a stroll in the park or along the Danube.

When’s the best time to go: There are four distinct seasons in Slovakia, so be prepared. Bratislava is often windy, mainly in part to the city’s location to the Danube, so it will get chilly when the winds pick up. You’ll find the summers are hot and the winters are cold. Spring and summer are when the city really comes alive with sights, sounds and colours.

• On your Bratislava visit why not seek out The Man at Work statue, or Cumil as it’s known. It’s a man peeking out of a sewer in the old town. Is he having a rest? Saying hello and watching people? Go say hello and you can decide.

• That great composer, Mozart does get about a bit! Walk along Venturska Street, in the old town and look out for a sign. You’ll find that it states that Mozart performed here when he was just aged 6!

• Getting hungry, then try the local dish Bryndzove Halusky. It’s the national dish comprising small potato dumplings with sheep cheese and pork to top it off. Sounds tasty to us!
