Khaled ☤July 26, 2015This castle is one of my favorites! Especially at night when it lights up the Bratislava sky with its vibrant white color!
- Artyom FedosovJune 16, 2016Picturesque view of the old town. Don't miss this place if you're in Bratislava.
Amaury JMay 27, 2017Visit it at night and during the day, as it's beautiful during both times. You have to go while in Bratislava; it's the icon of the city. The best place to see it is from the tower in Old Town Hall.
Cenker KöseJune 21, 2016Visit here on sunset to take beautiful pictures of Bratislava and take a shot of castle in the evening. There is a nice green path, where you feel the nature, climbing to castle in just 5 minutes.

Amazing old Castle, really well maintained, main historical place in Bratislava. Is a must if you visit the city.
Anna SophieAugust 17, 2015Near the castle with a beautiful view is a restaurant where you can grab a cold beer and enjoy the view over Bratislava.
Darshan MedaOctober 27, 2013Go to the ticket counter to the right of the main castle doors before heading in, if you want to see the exhibits. That way, you won't have to come out again.
