The second one is "the photographer" standing on the corner of a café. The third one is "Cumil the peeper" located on the corner of Panska and... 

 62 Reviews  Attached to the St. Michael's Gate will you find the narrowest house in the Central Europe. It is only 130 cm wide! But why build such a narrow house? Well, actually they didn't!! These 130 cm is the the width between the inner and outer walls of the city wall, see pic #2 (which shows the walls... 

 69 Reviews  This cathedral is one of the oldest church in Bratislava and it can easily be referred as the largest and finest one. It is located very close to Novy Most facing Bratislava Castle. The history of this cathedral shows that it used to be the coronation church of the Hungarian Kingdom. There are very... 

 61 Reviews  The new bridge (as translated from its original name) was built between 1967 and 1972. The area of the roadway that leads to Novy Most used to be the Jewish quarter and during the construction most of it was demolished. There is a restaurant located at the top of the bridge where you see the UFO. It... 

 66 Reviews  The Primatial Palace was built between 1777 and -81 for Cardinal Józef Batthyány, Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary. He used it as his winter palace. On top of the roof, above the entrance, is a 150kg cast-iron cardinal's hat. It is currently the seat of the mayor. 

 61 Reviews  Walking around the streets of the old town is a common activity for most of the tourists. It gives you the chance to enjoy the history and architecture of Bratislava. You should spare at least 1 to 2 hours for this activity. You can also give your lunch break in this area. 

 28 Reviews  This guy was a writer and a politician for most of his life, and has this pretty open square named for him, Hviezdoslavovo Namestie in Bratislava with a statue and a fountain---on this day it came with a shouting homeless man wandering the area... Very nice early in the morning, tho.... 

 33 Reviews  The first Archbishop's residence stood on this place from 1614. It was something like a country house for Archbishop Forgac and later Archbishop Esterhazy rebuilt it to Palace. Well, actually he didn't make it, his peasants did. :) The present form of it is the work of Archbishop Barkoczy. There is... 

 18 Reviews  It's no surprise that they chose Grassalkovich Palace as the seat of the Slovakian presidency. It's a stunning building, just outside the old town, and one of the most photogenic areas in the city. Its location isn't perfect, surrounded by busy multi-lane roads, but the streets and gardens to the... 

 21 Reviews  Unbelievably close to Bratislava’s Old Town, but marvellously secluded from the city, lies one of Slovakia’s key historical icons. Devin Castle is depicted on Slovak money and postage stamps, and the word “Devin” is in some way a synonym for things eminently Slovak.

 20 Reviews  The official site of the austrian bus company: http://www.postbus.at/en/Regions/Vienna_-_Lower_Austria_-_Burgenland/Airport_Bus/Airport_Bratislava/index.jsp . Vienna airport is "Flughafen Wien", the main bus terminal in Bratislava is "Bratislava aut.st." (You may want to get off somewhere else... 

 35 Reviews  The easiest way to get to or from the airport is to take the bus, line 61. The first bus in the morning leaving the airport is at 4.45, the last in the evening leaving at 23.25. The first one in the other direction leaves the main station at 4.45, the last one in the evening is at 23.05. The buses... 

 16 Reviews  Bratislava Music Celebrations :) sounds stupid but in Slovak it is Bratislavske hudobne slavnosti and it is worth to see. There are many great musicians and good music every year in the end of September and the beginning of October. 

 16 Reviews  The Slavin War Memorial is surrounded by many gravestones of fallen Soviet soldiers, who died during the liberation battle against the Nazis in WWII. Some of the gravestones are adorned with black and white photographs of the soldiers. I visited the place on a snowy winter day, when the graveyard... 

 26 Reviews  It's always nice for a city to have a history and that is to have a castle somewhere on high grounds. Bratislava is no exception, it has the Hrad on the hill there. Because in January 2008 it was just a couple hours walk to see the city for the first time (I did not stayed the night there, I was...
