About my tour

This 2.5-hour tip-based walking city tour will show you all the top attractions in Bratislava's historic city center. The tour is focused on the historical, political, and cultural context.

 
The guided tour starts at Rybné námestie next to the hotel Park Inn and ends at Bratislava Castle. After the tour, you can join me and go to the city center together. :)
As your expert local guide, I will take you to its top landmarks like:

  • The Cathedral
  • Salvator Pharmacy
  • St. Michael's Gate
  • Bratislava street statues
  • Opera House
  • Primate's Palace
  • Bratislava Castle  


(Please don't expect stand-up comedy; the main goal of this tour is to give you HISTORICAL CONTEXT ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND CITY)



Why choose a tour with me??


  • The informative but not dull essential tour
  • Tour is suitable for first-timers in Bratislava
  • One of the best ways how you can start your stay in Bratislava
  • Focused on historical, political, and cultural context. (Yes, I will write it again because some people don't read the tour description properly and are sometimes surprised.) 😉
  • You know your guide in advance. (My name is Sebastian.  😉 )
  • Smiling, licensed, local, and independent guide
  • I'm happy to answer questions
  • Recommendations and tips from a native Slovak living in Bratislava for 17 years
  • You can join only the first part of the tour. The tour has two parts: Bratislava Old Town (01:45) and the way to Bratislava Castle and the Castle (00:45)
  • If you want to tip the guide, you can pay cash or by card.
  • Accessible meeting point - bus platform for buses from Vienna (Most SNP) and Twin City Liner passenger port is just a few dozen meters from the meeting point. Self-service luggage storage is in this area, too.



The official end of the tour is at Bratislava Castle, but you can join me, and we will return together to the Old Town. The very end of the tour is in front of St. Martin Cathedral on Rudnay Square.
Join me on this introduction to Bratislava's Castle and Old Town.
It's a great way to orientate yourself in the city at a price to suit everybody's budget. :)

A big part of the tour is suitable for pets, BUT dogs are not allowed to enter the gardens of Bratislava Castle. :(
