buses)
We have chosen to get off at the last one and take a taxi to the hotel. (The exact location is found in the Track)
"BEWARE": When taking a taxi you only have to get in the Official Taxis, the others will charge us abusive rates.
- The famous Bratislava Paparazzi statue does not appear in this Track since it has disappeared after closing the restaurant to which it belonged.
- If we stay in Bratislava, it would be very interesting to visit Devín Castle, which is only 13 kilometers away. (Location attached)
This amazing castle is one of the most important archaeological sites in Slovakia. You can get there on bus number 29 that leaves from the New Bridge (Novy Most) at the Most SNP bus station.
You must keep in mind that it is not possible to buy tickets when boarding the bus, so you will have to do it at one of the machines that you will find in the surroundings. It is also important to know that to get to Devín Castle from Bratislava by bus you cross 4 zones, so the ticket to buy will be the one corresponding to 4 zones and valid for 60 minutes.
The journey to Devín Castle from Bratislava is approximately 30 minutes. Line 29 makes two stops near the ruins. The first is the Strbská stop and the next is the one named after the castle, the Hrad Devín. Both will leave you approximately the same distance, so it doesn't matter if you get off at one or the other. From there, you will have to walk about 10-15 minutes until you reach the main entrance.

* Bratislava - Historic Center:
It was not until 1919 that the city was renamed Bratislava, which at that time was a varied ethnic conglomerate, with Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Romanians and Slovaks.
In the years after World War II much of the city was destroyed. Soviet rule meant an urban disaster, with the construction of the UFO bridge that replaced the one blown up by the Nazis, and which practically swept the old Jewish quarter off the map. Furthermore, the austere aesthetic concept of communism disfigured the city, which since the country's independence has once again recovered areas such as the banks of the Danube.
On the other hand, when Bratislava assumed the capital of Slovakia after the separation of the former Czechoslovakia, many eyes fell on the city and the result was a tourist boom that has led it to become a tourist option for many trips through Central Europe.
The Old Town in Slovak (Staré Mesto) is the historic center and one of the neighborhoods of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The historic center of the Slovak capital is relatively accessible if you want to visit it on foot and corresponds to what the intramural city was historically. However, you can also get to know it in a more comfortable way, aboard the trams that cross and circle it.
This is where most of Bratislava's monumental attractions are concentrated, among which stand out, among others:
- The Castle
- The Blue Church
- Saint Michael's Gate
- Cathedral
- The Old Town Hall
- The Grassalkovich Palace
- Trinity Church
- The National Theater
- The UFO Bridge or Most SNP
But the historic center of Brastislava also has a river promenade along the Danube and, apart from the tourist and official dimension (here are the headquarters of the main state and local institutions), it is also a residential area. To the west of this area, it is very pleasant to walk along the hill on which the castle sits and where Horský Park is located.

They returned in the year 1599 when Count Pálffy invited them to settle in Podhradie – the neighborhood located below the castle. It was the only neighborhood in Bratislava where Jews could live until 1840. Bratislava was an important center of Jewish studies. The famous Rabbi Chatam Sofer founded the yeshiva, the school of Jewish studies, in Bratislava. Since 1872 there were two Jewish communities in Bratislava, the Orthodox and the Neological. The neologists founded a modern school in Bratislava. A synagogue still exists on Heydukova Street near the historic center of Bratislava. It was built between 1923 and 1926. Today a part serves as a museum but the synagogue also serves its original purpose.

Also in its upper part you can see the statues of angels holding the letters I – Iusticia and C – Clementia, the cardinal's personal motto. On the walls of the entrance to the palace a plaque commemorates the signing of the so-called Peace of Pressburg in 1805. The inner courtyard has a central fountain with the figure of Saint George killing a dragon (Fontana sv. Juraja). From this patio you can also access the chapel of San Ladislaus. On the first floor of the palace is the so-called Hall of Mirrors, where in 1805 Napoleon's France and Habsburg Austria signed the so-called Peace of Pressburg, after the battle of Austerlitz. In this same room, King Ferdinand in 1848 signed the document that abolished slavery in Hungary along with a series of different social reforms. The palace is also home to a tapestry exhibition at the Bratislava City Gallery. The exhibitions are housed in the most representative rooms of the palace and highlight the 17th century tapestries representing the tragic love between Hero and Leandros. These tapestries were found by chance during the reconstruction of the palace at the beginning of the last century, carried out by the city after its purchase in 1903 for 320,000 Hungarian silver crowns. Possibly the tapestries were hidden with the intention that Napoleon's troops would not destroy them. Currently the palace is also the headquarters of the city's mayor's office. In the square in front of the palace, archaeologists discovered an ancient well that was rebuilt in the 1970s taking its current form.

Although poor and mentally ill, he never neglected his impeccable appearance, always wearing a tailcoat, top hat, white gloves and in his hands a cane. He used to frequent the city's coffee shops and always greeted young women politely. His kindness earned him the sympathy of the city's inhabitants.
Cumil
Despite being one of the most famous people in the city, he has only been on its streets for six years. The statue represents a worker resting while looking at the streets full of people strolling. It is undoubtedly the favorite statue of all children, who enjoy sitting on its head or taking photos next to it.

Most SNP (Puente del Levantamiento Nacional Eslovaco) - Puente UFO o Puente Ovni ó Novy Most (Puente Nuevo)
* The bridges of Bratislava Five bridges cross the Danube River in Bratislava: Stary Most, Novy Most, Pristavny Most, Most Lafranconi and Apollo. Each of them has a unique story and purpose. - Stary Most (Old Bridge) This oldest bridge in Bratislava was built in 1890 and was named Franz-Jozef Bridge in honor of the Austrian emperor. After World War I, it was renamed Stefanik's Bridge after one of the Slovak founders of Czechoslovakia, Milan Rastislav Stefanik.

Work on the Harbor Bridge began in 1977. In 1983, the lower level, which is for rail traffic, was completed. Two years later, the upper floor, which supported a road, was completed. The bridge was called Most hrdinov Dukly (Dukla Heroes' Bridge), after the World War II battles fought at the Dukla Pass, near the area where the current borders of Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine meet.

The bridge is 460 meters long and weighs 12,016 tons. It also has a pedestrian bridge for pedestrians and another for bicycles. These are located on the lower level along the train track.
