Bratislava Castle is a monumental castle, a massive quadrangular structure towering above the city on a cliff above the left bank of the Danube, on the southern spur of the Lesser Carpathians. It symbolizes more than a thousand-year-old Slovak history, and its towers and terraces in front of the main facade offer a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding area.

It became a real, full-fledged castle by the 11th century, and its present appearance acquired in the 15th century. Unfortunately, a strong fire in 1811 marked the beginning of the destruction of the castle ... It was recreated practically from the ruins in the second half of the 20th century and housed the expositions of the Slovak People's Museum. Also in our days various exhibitions are held in its walls. Rising to the castle, you should admire the picturesque roofs of the old town and the panorama of the Danube floodplain.

Like in any other city, in Bratislava, too, there is a Hail. Since our hotel was not far from it, in the evening we went to see this landmark. It turned out that climbing the top needs a long time and not knowing a short way, went around. However, there is no need to regret it - there were very beautiful panoramas of the city, old houses, statues. Around the Bratislava Castle there is a large park with benches - you can sit in the shade of the trees looking at the city. There is also a cafe, though ... Read the whole review
