Traveling to Bratislava in a day? We’ve got you covered!
We visited Bratislava during the Christmas market season and fell in love with it. We stumbled upon adorable statues across the city, learned about the history of Bratislava Castle, and found the most Instagram-able Blue Church. Then, we ended with a visit to a traditional Slovakian pub. There is a lot to see in Bratislava in just one day, but we’ve got tips on how to make the most of your day there.
From the charming old town to the tasty comfort food, these are the best things to do in Bratislava in a day in this podcast episode. Find where to stay, eat, and play in Bratislava.
