The castle, which looms high above the city on a hill, is the dominant symbol of Bratislava that can be seen from afar. The castle was first mentioned in 805.

The landmark of the city - the radiant white and the exposed location ensure an impressive appearance. The castle houses a large museum with various topics.

Reconstructed, painted and completed according to historical plans, the burnt-out Bratislava Castle. Nice views of the premises but also a new garden.

Bratislava Castle, also known as Pressburg Castle, is the symbol of Bratislava. The castle sits atop an 85-meter-high hill above the Danube River, and its core dates back to the 9th century. It was once the residence of Hungarian kings and is now home to the Slovak Historical Museum.

The striking rectangular structure with four corner towers offers fantastic views over the city, the Danube, as far as Austria, and on a clear day, even as far as Hungary.

Great well-preserved castle that sits above the city of Bratislava. Just a short walk and you have a great view over the city to Austria and Hungary. In the evening the castle is well lit and can be seen clearly from afar. Be sure to visit!

The castle has a small but beautiful garden. In addition, from here you have a beautiful view of the city. It is to be visited against admission.

Bratislava Castle is the main castle of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The massive rectangular building with four corner towers stands on an isolated rocky hill of the Little Carpathians, directly above the Danube river, in the middle of the city.
