Holiday In Bratislava

The castles may be old, but the culture is decidedly youthful. In Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, beer gardens, beach volleyball and outdoor concerts run amok–in the best way!

This is a place where you can pass a centuries-old palace and a group of paddleboarders within a few minutes. Want to see what we’re talking about? Pick out your Bratislava package deal and see the city for yourself!

Things to Do in Bratislava

Most travellers on holiday to Bratislava will make a trip to Old Town. This is where you’ll find pointy Eastern European architecture, along with cobblestone alleys and whimsical bronze statues scattered around the city. This includes statues leaning on benches and coming out of the sewer. It’s not as creepy as it sounds, we promise.

Bratislava Castle is another icon you simply have to visit during your Bratislava holiday. The 9th-century castle looms over the city and is open for tours. If you like getting high, this is the place to go—not like that, stilly! It’s one of the highest points in the city and has fantastic views.

Do you believe the truth is out there? Then head to the UFO Bridge. Overlooking the Danube River, the UFO-shaped tower is home to a restaurant and viewing platform. Fun fact: the bridge is the 7th-longest suspension bridge in the world. Length over girth for the win! And if you want to drive across, check out lastminute.com.au’s sweet Bratislava car hire options for a speedy ride.

Shopping, Dining, Nightlife

Ready to shop? Oh yes, you are. Hollywood should film a Bratislava take on Clueless, because mall shopping is big here. Head to the biggies like Aupark, Eurovea and Central for multi-floored malls hosting hundreds of stores.

Feeling “hangry” after all that shopping? Cure the munchies with some traditional Slovakian food. This includes a ton of potato and pork dishes—including a Bratislava staple: halusky. This dish is made up of potato dumplings that are often stuffed or topped with cheese, cabbage and speck. Sauerkraut and sausages are also popular dishes, and often washed down with beer—as all food should be.

The sun has peaced out—now what? Grab some change you saved thanks to your cheap Bratislava package and head to the clubs. If you have to pick two of them, the UFO Bridge turns into a nightclub after hours with killer views of the city. And during the warmer months? Check out the bars near Bratislava Castle, as many of them host outdoor patios that serve regional beer.
