Should You Visit Bratislava? Trying Halušky in Slovakia. Things to do in the city. Travel Guide
We spent a day exploring the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava.
We started the day at the beautiful blue church (Church of St. Elizabeth), although we weren’t able to go in as it was closed.
Because the city is known for it’s many palaces, we next went to the Presidential Palace (The Grassalkovich Palace) where we took a look at the outside and the gardens, including many fountains and statues.
We then stopped to try some Slovakian food, particularly what they are best known for, a dumpling dish called Halušky.
On our way back to the old town we came upon a couple of churches as well as a small park with more statues.
We then made our way to one of the main squares of the city Hviezdoslavovo námestie where we managed to cool off a bit. We also passed by one of the more famous statues in Bratislava called Cumil (the Watcher).
From there we made our way up to Bratislava Castle to explore the outside and gardens a bit before a rain storm came in and we had to wrap things up early!
Slovakia Bratislava:
It is also referred as the Beauty on the Danube, it boasts incredible history, but it has also evolved to be dynamic region of the central Europe’s present.
With a population of around 450,000 inhabitants, Bratislava is located in the south-west of Slovakia, and stretches on both banks of the Danube and in the foothills of Little Carpathian mountains. Thanks to this favourable position it was always a commercial centre. In spite of its exciting history, Bratislava is one of the youngest Capitals of the world and its population is also very young. The modern metropolis is opened to Europe. Palaces, modern shopping and trade centres, admirable arts of the Slovak cooks and brewers, friendly people and various international cultural or sport events, exhibitions, and business opportunities are the reasons why it is worth of visit.
Church of St. Elizabeth (The Blue Church)
Like from a fairy-tale. Bratislava’s most appealing art nouveau building, a model of which is present in Brussels as well, representing Slovakia. When you look at it on a sunny day, it has the same color as the sky – and has its name for this obvious reason. The facade is blue. The mosaics are blue. The majolicas are blue. Everything, including the pale blue-gazed roof through the gate is blue. And not only exterior – its interior is also painted in shades of pale blue. No wonder it is always surrounded with people taking pictures of it.
Presidential Palace (Grassalkovich Palace)
Known as Slovakia’s White House, this palace is the official seat of the president of Slovakia. Its large French garden which is one of the most popular parks in Bratislava is definitely worth of visiting. In past this building used to serve as a venue for aristocratic society events and concerts. Josepf Haydn, a popular Austrian composer, held some of his concerts in this palace, for example.
Cumil Statue: It is one of the most popular statues in Bratislava. It represents the figure of a worker coming out of the sewers to look at the people around.The statues in the city are part of the rupture element with the past and the soviet influence in the country.
Bratislava Castle
The monumental building of the Bratislava Castle is visible from a great distance. Certainly, every visitor of Bratislava notices the pronounced silhouette. The majestic impression is enhanced by the hill it stands on, some eighty-five metres above the water level of the Danube river.It was an important fortified settlement at the end of the 9th century. The first written reference to Bratislava from 907 is related to this period; it mentions a battle between the Bavarians and early Magyars under the Brezalauspurc Castle. First, there was a pre-Romanesque stone palace in the 11th and 12th century on the castle hill. Generous reconstruction of the castle started in 1423 and the result of this reconstruction was a Gothic castle referred to as a Sigismund`s castle.

Slovakia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Slovakia.
Slovakia has a long and varied history and contains Europe’s youngest capital city and also its highest mountain range, as well as cultural masterpieces and unspoiled nature. Bratislava is located in the heart of Europe and is the capital of Slovakia. Surrounded by the City Hall and several palaces, it is like being taken back in time into a rich and glorious past. On the Danube’s Slovakian side, and to the east, is the town of Komárno. In the old urban market square a Miniature Europe with forty five buildings has, in recent years, come into existence. Towers, domes, arcades, half-timbered buildings and woodcarvings frame the square at whose centre is the Millennium Fountain. It is a unique mixture of architecture that signifies the common culture of European countries. Seven hundred metres above sea level, herds of sheep graze peacefully on the slopes of the Great Fatra, the location of the almost hidden and forgotten Vlkolĺnec, a unique village in the heart of Slovakia’s Liptov region. Today it is tantamount to being an open-air museum. Further north is Terchová, birthplace of Slovakia’s national hero, Juraj Jánošík. The legendary robber chief has an exhibition dedicated to him in which the living conditions and customs of that time are on display. The High Tatra is the smallest high mountain range in Europe. A magnificent mountain landscape with rocky mountains and many lakes. In 1947, the National Park of the same name was founded. Slovakia is a land of fortresses, castles and cities that date from the Middle Ages and, despite its many mountain regions, a southern-influenced way of life.
