Overview

Do you want to see all the most important sites in the historic center in one single tour, narrated by a local guide?

Join our tour and discover the story of Bratislava through the centuries, from the beginning to the end. Starting from antiquity and the Middle Ages, passing through the splendor of the great Habsburg Empire and ending in the turbulent years of the 20th century with its modern history.

We will tell you about the history of this city in such an easy way that you will be able to narrate it like an expert when you return home.

NOTE: This is a tip-based tour. As the major share of the tour price is used as a platform fee or goes to the tour provider, in case the tour will meet your expectations we also encourage you to tip your guide 10-20 EUR per person.
