Bratislava Tours

Best Bratislava Tours & Trips

This historic city along the Danube shouldn't be missed! Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, has a renovated Starý Mesto (Old Town) with narrow pedestrian streets and a thriving cafe culture, and much of the area is restricted to automobiles. The Socialist-era architecture of the city is also worth a look as a reminder of Communist life when Bratislava was part of Czechoslovakia, in particular Petrzalka, a massive housing project that is often referred to as “the Bronx of Bratislava” and home to more than 100,000 people.

This was a wonderful family trip. My parents especially enjoyed Hallstatt and Lucerne. The guide was considerate and helped us understand the daily schedule. The itinerary is not relaxing, but the variety makes it worthwhile. We came home with lots of photos and great memories.
