The Castle and the Cathedral of Bratislava represent the moment from which the city was created are both included in this walk. Reserve your places for the most iconic tour that includes a visit to the Jewish quarter and the parliament.

Next, we’ll visit St. Martin’s Cathedral, where Maria Theresa of Austria was crowned in the 18th century. We’ll continue to the Holocaust Memorial and stroll through the old Jewish quarter.
On the way to the castle, we’ll see the largest Soviet-style housing estate in Europe. At the castle, we’ll explore its history, legends, fires, and former royal residents.
