Ride up to Biggest Castle Tour, where you can find Celtic, Roman and Slavonic history. You will be seduced by the ambiance of the large city and by a monument which can not be seen during the walking tour. You will learn about the uniqueness of the upside down pyramid, where exactly the “UFO“ landed in Bratislava, what is the right name of the Presidential Palace, where is situated Slovak National Council – Parliament and many other interesting things.
Comfortable seated under the transparent (or opened) roof, we will take you through the old parts situated outside of the former medieval city and up to Bratislava Castle. The Courtyard of the medieval castle offers a magnificent view over the city and its surroundings, a nice baroque garden and park.
On the way to the castle you will see the Slovak National Theatre – Opera and the Philharmonic, lots of magnificent churches, the upside down Pyramid – Radio, Presidential – “Grasalkovič“ palace, the old archbishop summer palace which are now Government offices, Parliament, fortification walls, St. Martin Coronation Cathedral and you will come back to the Old Town, from where we recommend that you continue with the second Bratislava city tour „UFO and Blue Church tour“ or take a guided walk.
Tickets can be bought in our office „Panská“ Street 37, or at our selling stand in Hviezdoslav square (by the historical building of the Slovak National Theate). In season also at the seller in “Rybné“ Square. If you are a bigger group, it is best to reserve your tour upfront for a certain time and date.
