Uhrovec Castle is a picturesque medieval ruin of defensive castle located in the Strazov Mountains of Slovakia. It is accessible from village Uhrovske Podhradie. Distance from village to the castle is only 1.5 km, but very steep incline. There is also access by gravel forest road. This incline is easy to moderate and the distance is 3.5 km. The castle itself is in "good" condition if you compare with other ruins in Slovakia. The preservation work is in (very slow) progress. It is beautiful and interesting, and not very busy because it is less known and access is somewhat complicated. But definitely worth the visit! If you like to hike in the forest and hills then take time to explore surrounding area.

A great place to visit. You have to be reasonably fit to access the castle but it’s worth it. And they serve pivo there!

The Castle is pretty, but right now you can ecplore just half of it becouse of the renovations, there is a place for donations if you whould like to help bring castle to his second beauty.

Beautiful ruins of The Uhrovec Castle offers wide look to nearby hills. Castle is at the moment in under construction but fully available for visitors. From the Uhrovske Podhradie you can choose 2 paths to The Castle. I do not recommend Green path, which is hard to steep climb. I recommend path under The Castle's hill which is latter connected to blue path right to The Castle.

Easily accessible, the hike is not too long and not too difficult. Souvenirs are available, groups can book a room for the night! The castle is being conserved a d renovated.

Castle is one of my favorite. Build on side of hill with walk just about good for kids, offers great views. You can buy some refreshments and souvenirs if you like. It is still under reconstruction. If it is not enough for you, there are some historical places to be seen in Uhrovec village or very nice small church in Ksina village near by. Hope you like my photo from recent sightseeing flight I took from Trenčín.

When somebody is interested in 🏰 then come and take a look. The guys there do a great job!

A historic site with a beautiful view. It can be reached via a longer gravel forest road with a steep incline — hiking shoes are highly recommended! Much of the castle is under renovation, and many areas are closed. With the basic ticket, you can mostly explore the castle walls and visit one exhibition, where nearly all the signs are in Slovak — English translations are only available via QR codes. When we visited, the exhibition also included a retro display of strollers and children's toys, which was quite interesting.

Very nice place but should better manager. Any way Worth to visit, you can walk around it in max 2 hours. The main Tower is the Best. Nice to see the park and city too.

Trenčín Castle is stunning on the outside, but the interior and exhibitions are a bit underwhelming. When we visited, it was partly under reconstruction so there were some areas that we could not access. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful castle with amazing views.

A lovely castle to visit. You can spend up to a few hours there. The entrance fee is very fair. Amazing views open up from various vantage points of the castle. Highly recommended for a visit!

Nice big castle, worth the visit. Doable with kids, we went up with a 3 and 6 year old, but it's quite steep. We did around 5 km, visited almost every corner.

Great place with lot's of history. If you don't mind a steep climb up too the castle . In the village square there are plenty of bar restaurants at reasonable prices.

It is more a fortress then a castle. Still if you climb in the tower is a very nice feeling of freedom. Also down the center of the town is beautiful.

Beautiful castle, excellent guide. We were lucky and there was also a puppet show for the little ones in the castle. I recommend visiting this castle. It is only 120 steps to the dragon guarding the castle well.

A charming castle 🏰with a long history, it was accompanied by a speaking guide who knew the castle very well. From there are beautiful ❤️ views.

The people working here were so kind they rushed over to unlock all the doors inside the castle (we were the only ones on a rainy day) and were very informative! Highly recommend

Great experience. Suitable for families also. Interactivity everywhere, easy to learn and understand. Totally reccomend it. Take at least 1.5h

An easily accessible location — probably offers more activities on weekends. Around noon on Tuesday, there wasn’t much going on, but the castle and other sights are definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful castle of great historical importance. It is being rebuilt and is interesting because of its many layers.

As a travel guide I know the place quite well. It's a beautiful and impressive castle with interesting stories. walking up is easier than it seems, and in the summer they have nice shows there. Pity that it's not lightened up at night, my group and i were somewhat disappointed. Yet managed to take a few pics.

Long walk up a steep hill, historical and that's it. €1 gets you a photo opportunity of the entire city and a look in a quite lovely cathedral. All done in 30 minutes easy.

This looks like a castle, but it is more of a history of bishops and some very old artifacts! We loved the museum as there were items dating back to the 800's! I have never seen items this old before. We can't take pictures, so you need to visit if you like church history

Stunning place full of history, beautiful views, very well maintained by. The museum is outstanding - remains of the first Slavic bishop activity.

We just walked around the outside. Impressive wall. Parked at the free parking near the stadium. Very busy. Lovely park next door for a picnic. Free toilets!

Nitra Castle is a stunning place! Beautiful architecture, lots to see. Highly recommended!

Nitra Castle is a lovely and peaceful place to visit. Set on a hill above the town, it offers beautiful views and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The area around the castle is surprisingly green and well-maintained, making it perfect for a quiet walk or some time to unwind. The historic architecture adds a special charm, and it’s easy to feel the centuries of history in the air. It’s not overcrowded, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for those looking for a peaceful and scenic spot in Nitra.

Well maintained, great views of the city, nice museum. Nice cafe

Very nice castle, good lector with humor. For families with children you can use local turist train. Nice view of the valley. I appreciate this nice places in Slovakia.

calm and well preserved castle ruin with affordable entrance fee (4€/5€, cash/card), nice views to the country side, nice spots for relaxing and enjoying the views, parking 30 minutes from the castle, souvenir shop/refreshment next to the entrance

Parking 3 euros which is ok, you also get a tour guide in english and a small magnet. From there, it is 15-20 min easy uphill walk. Entrance to castle is 5 euros per person on weekends, which is not really worth it. There are simmilar castles nerby where admission is free. Either way, not too bad, just there are better experiences in the area.

This is the castle of the famous Countess Elizabeth Bathory, meaning that it has fascinating and macabre history. It is worth visiting for that fact alone. Other than that, most of the castle is in ruins, however some renovation has been carried out in recent years. Still, a lot more could be done to restore the castle in its former glory (I hope that they would do that one day). It is a short hike uphill from the parking and once you’re there, the castle offers splendid vistas all around.

Calm, beautiful, though castle not much left but intresting history.

Amazing. I really loved it. And the surroundings are just breathtaking.

Beautiful medieval castle ruins with some exhibition as well. The walk up is not so hard and can be easily managed by anyone who can walk for 20 or so minutes up the not-so-steep hill. Enjoyed the views as well, there is number of spots where you can take some really nice portraits. They take a good care of the place, renovating one step at a time, and can use any money you can spare to make this piece of history nicer and nicer. They serve refreshments here as well, which is a nice bonus. You need to bring cash though 💶 Recommend, definitely will visit again :)

I finally found Gargamel's house. He must have gone into the forest to look for the Smurfs, but I had brought cat food for his cat. By the way, dont go to this church in the evening or at night; bears livings near forest, and you could become their meal on the way back. İ am not joking.

The oldest church in Central Eastern Europe. 900 AC. A sight to behold, a place to visit.

Lovely place.. Sad we can visit inside

Very nice, nice view and nature

Amazing

Best

(Translated by Google) Very nice place with a beautiful view. You can't get inside. From here you can see the Nitra Castle and Zobor well. It's quiet there, there aren't many tourists, so you can enjoy it without crowds. There is also a small cave nearby, although it's only a few meters long, but it's still interesting that something like this was created there ⛪️ (Original) Veľmi pekné miesto s krásnym výhľadom. Do vnútra sa nedá dostať. Odtiaľto je dobre vidieť na Nitriansky hrad aj Zobor. Je tam pokoj, turistov nebýva veľa, takže si to človek môže vychutnať bez davov. Neďaleko sa nachádza aj malá jaskyňa, síce má len pár metrov, ale aj tak je to zaujímavé, že tam niečo také vzniklo ⛪️

I really like this place, I have some sentimenz that's why 5 stars. We do not have anything even resembling this around Trenčín.

Our family really enjoyed our time at the Aquapark. It is a perfect place to bring small child to because of the anti-slip floor indoor and kids pool.

A great aquapark for summer as all the amenities offer so much! The slides are so much for kids and dads as well! Definitely worth visiting!

I think its sufficient for what it is. Got 2.5h entry was enough for me to have a swim, couple of slides on toboggans 🙈 relax in pools and 2 rounds of sauna upstairs. Its pretty much for families and kids. Not the sauna though. Had a hotdog when leaving. Parking was free as on Saturday afternoon a bit remote, not directly outside. The place was clean and well kept. I would consider coming again.

A really good place to go with the family

This "water world" is a nice relaxing place for anyone who wants to have a good rest. I always like to come back here with my , and 2 hours is usually not long enough for us. Quality information on the website, professional services. Snacks and buffet at fair prices, including daily menus. For me personally, it is one of the best aqua centers in Moravia regios. On the other hand It can get really crowded in national holidays, be aware of waiting a long queue on such days...

The best thing here is the heated outdoor pool.

For 70 euros, you can swim in three pools, use three different saunas, and that’s it. It’s absolutely not worth the price. If you have the chance, go to Hungary instead of this characterless spa. Even the cheap 10 euros option in Hungary is better than this.

it is nice for sure, but the biggest thermal bath in the world is in Germany and it only costs 1€ more. This one would be a mediocre one in Germany. Definitely not worth 70€ entrence. Only one traditional Sauna, not a big variety sadly.

Clean pools and facilities, staff were friendly and helpful, but not worth €70 given the limited pools available. Likely given the cost, I had most of the pools to myself most of the time, which was a plus.

Spa Irma is absolutely amazing. It was my first visit and I absolutely felt royal. The interior is so beautiful. You can have a cup of coffee, beer or any food or drink you like on their menu. They have a sitting place outside as well as inside. The gardens outside are absolutely beautiful.

Good spa experience. We had the mirror pool, mud pool and wrap. Reasonably priced at 30€.

Amazing facilities with great staff

The poorest quality of service and I been to many spas. Also expensive

My favourite ruins in Slovakia ! A must-see.

If you like old castles well worth a visit. The information signs are in Slovak but lots of pictures tell the story of the recent archeology. Its a fair walk and not easy going in places, having a 4x4 we managed to get closer than most but still a good walk & looked like it would be difficult if it wasn't dry. We visited on a hot day and the trees gave us some well recieved shade.

The castle is very nice.

A ruin of a castle from the 13th century. Recently a part of the castle with a tower has been uncovered and open for a visit. The walk from the village is easy and suitable for kids. It starts at the church, you must cross the local cemetary, later you pass an old Jewish cemetary located in the forest.

Really nice castle ruin "hidden" in the woods. It's only 20 minute hike from the town's cemetery (you can park your car at the cemetery or at the restaurant/church in the town).

It is a nice place with a easy hike up i recomend to visit it. Not many people go up so it is a peacefull walk up

Epic, great effort from the volunteers maintaining this place, nice views, easy walk up from carpark.

Amazing experience. Great atmosphere in very nice and unusuall place. Interior is beautiful with many nice details. You can sit in own separate part or big open space. Staff was kind and smiling all the time with good recommandations. We tried coffee, lemonades and sweets there and we loved it all. Apart from coffee prices are little bit higher. To make it short: great location, interior, service, sweets and coffee make it very pleasent experience and "must visit" in the city. Worth every cent. It is simply great experience

Unbelievable atmosphere in this former synagogue. As well as nice stuff and their offer on a very good quality level. Opens until night.

1.50e for nothing. Free entrance might be better cause it's anything at all inside.

Really atmospheric and staff were friendly. They could have done more with it though.

Do you have an E Mail Address?

Nice place

Super

Very nice place so big compared here in pezinok

Regular shopping centre. It has everything I need and it's getting better over time. I think it's the best in Trnava

Clean and modern shopping centre. Very centrally located. 10 minutes walk from bus and train station. Good air-conditioning and music is not too loud.

Big selection of shops for everyone, there is also a food court with restaurants, you can find claw machines that you put tokens into and you can grab a plushie or there are some arcade games.

Good shopping mall in the centre of the city with convenient 2-levels parking. There are main mobile operators and banks in the mall

Beautiful City Arena shopping center with football stadium for 20 thousand spectators. If you are around Trnava must visit this place!

Stadium is not big but when it's full atmosphere is good and you are never too far from the pitch. Furthermore is in walking distance from city center.

Guided tour to the top of the tower, uniqe antique clock mechanism sightseeing, manual lever winding. Beautiful 360 city view!

The tower is well kept, you can go up for a fee. You can enter on the side and buy your ticket on the second floor. The view from the tower is quite nice, you can see most sights of the city from there.

Tran a is not a very big city in Slovakia, but rather comfortable. Nice main square. You can go up to the tower to have a nice view to the town.

I love our churches and architecture at Slovakia

The small town of Trnava is a very short distance from Bratislava and well worth at least a day trip to explore its history. This tower provides a very good local history going all the way back to the 12th century, if you're interested in history you could spend about half an hour reading all the available materials. The entrance is very cheap and good value for money while the views are, of course, quite stunning, this is a very photogenic old town with plenty of enjoyable architecture.

You could see the whole of Trnova from the top and was amazingly cheap. The sights were beautiful and the climb was short. Definitely recommend going to this small but charming town.

It was previously used as a fire observation tower. There is even a mannequin with an authentic fire brigade. The view from the Tower is great 360 degrees and if you want to explore the city, you should visit the Tower. There you can make great pictures.

Very nice castle to visit. Take longer tours that include cellar... This castle has the best exhibition from all castles in Slovakia... Lady who takes as on tour was very informative, we find out lots of history facts connecting castle with Slovakian history...

A visit well worth it, especially the underground wine cellar—it’s truly impressive. The guided tour is in Slovak, but there are English information materials available, and the staff gave a very thorough and dedicated introduction. The garden is beautiful as well. Highly recommended!

Nice experience. Great place to go with school groups. You can easily spend one full day there. Quite odd you can visit inside only at .00 min

i would say, this is the best renovated castle ins slovakia. easy access, gardens for picnic, inner yard with restaurant and caffe, perfect atmosphere. bicycle friendly. i can only recommend a visit. parking: yes, for free food&beverages: yes toilets: yes, for free

A fascinating place to come and see - even though you can't really see the castle in the usual sense unless you have a drone (and hence my score of 4\5). I recommend getting onto one of the guided tours - whether you wait for the English one is up to you, but we didn't. Access to a lot of the castle is available only on a tour. The foundations and cellar are definite highlights.

Man selling ticket was very miserable, he obviously hate his job. It's a first person you have contact with on visit, why would you place there someone like that? The tour guide was absolutely brilliant, know what they talking about and enjoying it. Castle itself it's worth visiting. Very big. Small tour is about an hour but big tour is 1 hour and 15min. It's worth every euro.

We'll preserved and documented. Knowledgeable tour guide.

Very nice place. However, during our visit, too many amenities weren't available (swimming pool, kid's pool, outdoor tobogans, "diving pool". Understandable, as it wasn't full season, but shouldn't be charging full price, or, at least, should inform visitors about it.

We visited this place on the weekend. In winter, two outdoor swimming pools are in operation - a children's pool and another pool. While it's a great place to visit in winter, it's also a really nice place in summer.

We had a little problem to find a locker because there was a lot of people and I was a bit disappointed that you have to pay extra for the slides but otherwise the overall experience was nice. We will most likely visit again in the future.

It's always amazing spending a day in this thermal park. Over the years they have added different pools with all sorts of entertainment. Prices are very similar to all other thermal parks around Slovakia.

It's not the first time I visited this venue and unfortunately, I have to say that my experience was often quite disappointing. The staff was generally unpleasant and seemed annoyed by the need to serve guests. The facilities themselves were also lacking. Although several pools were open during the off-season, there were too many people and not enough attractions available. To make matters worse, the pools were not particularly clean and the attractions (such as bubbles and jets) only ran for short periods of time before shutting down for extended breaks. Additionally, the venue had a multitude of rules and restrictions that were often unclear or questionable. It was difficult to navigate the facility, especially for those with mobility issues, as there were thresholds everywhere and limited signage in languages other than Hungarian and Slovak. Overall, while the venue may be relatively inexpensive and conveniently located between Budapest and Vienna, I cannot recommend it due to its poor service and lackluster facilities.

We were really excited to go here but then found out that the slides are only open at the weekend, the indoor pools were closed for renovation, the indoor slides were out of bounds, the lazy river wasn’t running and the wave machine only runs every 2 hours, (great when you get a 3hr ticket) and the indoor children’s pool play area wasn’t functioning. We were told none of this when we paid at the till. Very disappointing and definitely don’t recommend the place. I understand that general maintenance / safety is important but we should have been warned when we paid or had the entry price reduced.

Fun for all the family, if you want to relax and unwind you can, if you want to be active you can and somewhere in between, good choice of food and drink outlets that won't break the bank. Should be even better when the new pools are finished early 2019. 👍👍👍👍

Simply TOO expensive and you are forced to pay for a whole day. 2 adults and a 6 years old. 77,70 euro entrance (including discount even because we’re locals). Have the impression the prices become more and more ridiculous every year. Tip: go to Aquapark Trnava. Equal quality. Less packed. Way better prices and you’re able to pay per hour entrance.

Excellent aquapark. Daily ticket for anyone over 6 years old is 30e. You can rent towels, you can buy all the essentials. Great lockers system, also free hair dryers and bikini dryers. There is indoor pools and slides in case of rain and also outdoor pools and slides. Excellent. Place is kept clean. Lots of lifeguards on hand. Animators kept the little ones busy with dancing in the water, foam party, making balloon characters, and also Moana had visited. Kids absolutely loved it. There is a restaurant upstairs, quite expensive but a good choice of tasty food. The older lady who was serving us at the till in the restaurant was very, very rude and angry. Her attitude clouded our otherwise, "Perfect day."

Amazing place. Great slides, clean and pleasant. Not crowded at all. A bit pricey though, about €90 for three people for a whole day. Buy online on your phone as they are slightly cheaper. Sausage with a drink is about €8.80, parking about €7.50 for 24 hours but if you park outside there is no charge. There are plenty of food stations with bottled drinks or beer in tap. 0.4l beer is about €3.40. However, what I would welcome is some water stations around the park. Dehydration is real and especially on hot days and we definitely experienced it. Some safety issues with some people not waiting for green light so some safety concerns. We noticed that some lifeguards responsible for 10 or so slides were looking down for long periods of time not paying too much attention. It seemed like they were checking their phones or something. Other than that we had really great fun and I cannot fault anything else. A great day out. Definitely recommend it for anyone.

Very big aqua park, a lots of slides and pools for adults and children. Green and clean areas. Lovely place for spending a time with a family. You can find there a many groceries and bars. It's cheap and easy to use. A lots of fun and relaxing. You can use a car park outside. You don't have to using cash inside, you can pay with bracelet, which you received by the entrance.

Great place & great people! Lots of sun beds and water slides in a green surrounding. Some big trees for those of us preferring relaxig in the shade. Visited aquapark for a few sunny days late in july and the place wasn't crowded, so my kids could go on the slides with maximum a minute standing in line.

I feel really disappointed of our visit. Firstly, very bad customer service, lifeguards shout at people instead of saying it politely. Children don't know the rules and I could see many of them were shocked. Secondly, only one buffet was opened. A food choice was very poor, not everyone is a fan fried food. I would say it is quiet expensive for not a great service. Only visit the place because my children love the slides. Next time I will think twice if it is worth to visit.

If you come with your child and spouse and wish to take turns enjoying the spa, it’s not possible unless you purchase a one-day spa pass or two 90-minute spa sessions. Since one parent must stay with the child by the pool, it’s really not very family-friendly.

We had an amazing experience at Vino Fiala with Martin. He was such a welcoming host and absolutely full of knowledge. Every wine we tasted was outstanding quality. We booked as we are interested in wine and we learnt a good deal about Slovakian wine and the different varietals. The food provided was also delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to come again one day. Thanks, Martin!

Very nice and instructive visit. We highly recommend it if you want to learn more about Slovak wines from the Modra region. The owner is very nice and the place is easily accessible from Bratislava bus station.

Absolutely fantastic - we planned a very last minute trip and hadn’t realised we needed to book for the wine cellars. Luckily we caught Martín on the way out to work on the vineyard and he so kindly agreed to give us an impromptu tasting. He was so lovely and knowledgeable about both the wine but also the history of the town and of Slovakia. I’d highly recommend booking with him, and we will definitely do so if we come back!

Martin kindly welcomed us at the last minute for a tasting at his estate. We were very well received, with a lovely platter of cheese and cold cuts. We tasted seven different wines, some directly from the barrel. The wines are excellent and the hospitality was flawless. Martin took the time to explain everything, making this tasting a highlight of our trip to Slovakia.

I loved our trip to visit Martín and his amazing family winery. Great chat, delicious food and lovely tastings. Also enjoyed getting to hang with his friendly cat!

What an amazing place! The winemaker and his family were so kind and welcoming. We had an incredible time as we were given the amazing chance to taste some wines and learn from them. An incredible, humble place, so welcoming, and the wine is absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for having us!

Martin was amazing with hospitality and giving me and my partner info on both regional and national. Highly rated !!

Nice And clean camping. We had enought Space for our car, also with shadow. Pools And slides Are just few Steps from camping. We had good Fun there.

Great way to spend summer days either when you want to go for a swim in a really pleasant spot among trees and have good service at hand or when you want to plan your weekend. There are caravan spots, mobile homes or when you are in a more adventorous mood you rent a spot for a tent. The choice is your but know this you will have everything you need like water supply, toilettes and showers right at spot. When you are looking for a camping with goos service this is the place.

Big water park, but the main attraction ( bigger water slides etc. are closed currently ( 2. sep. 2025 ) ) Otherwise great for relaxing

Definitely one of the nicest water parks in the region. Large pools and good variety of bathing activities. Beautiful in mid September.

Lovely place, comparable with a garden full of pools, showers, suitable for families with kids. Restaurants quite ok.

This is the best place to go have fun with your kids or relax on a hot summer day. They have multiple pools with warm to hot water and a cooler pool only for swimmers. There are a lot of watery attractions and water slides. All the slides and attractions are included in the entrance fee, that is not high at all. The food is fine, one can pay by card for everything. The ice cream is delicious. All the signs and announcements are in three languages: Hungarian, Slovak, German. We love this place, will come back next summer.

Very nice camping with thermal pools for families.

This church is so cute. The blue against the afternoon sky was a great to see. The church opens at 5.30 to 7pm but I was lucky there was a wedding going on so I was able to see the inside before it officially opened. But its definitely worth the visit.

I visited the Blue Church in Bratislava, and it truly feels like a fairytale building—almost like a big, beautifully decorated cake. The pastel blue color and unique Art Nouveau style make it stand out from anything else in the city. I was lucky enough to watch a music show inside, and the atmosphere was magical. The interior matched the charm of the outside, and the acoustics made the performance even more special. It’s not a big church, so you don’t need too much time to explore, but it’s definitely worth a visit for its one-of-a-kind design and peaceful vibe.

Its a very pretty place! Even the benches are a very pleasing pastel blue. Almost fairy tale like. The exterior makes you want to bite into this pretty fondont cake!!

Very unique looking church which was one of a kind. Not really in the most exciting part of the town but would recommend visiting during broad daylight by car. The inside of the church was closed but you could still look inside. Everything was very baby blue which I have never seen before. Definitely a must visit in Bratislava.

Unique architecture with a fairy-tale feeling. Even though it’s located in a less popular area and was closed to the public during our visit, it’s definitely worth seeing.

Beautiful church, closed when we visited lots of tourists as to be expected. Visited late November after snow fall. Magical

Its a Blue church, its very nice, but thats pretty much it, go check it out as its pretty unique but really thats it, if it was miles away id probably not bother but everything in Bratislava is pretty walkable

A unique little statue that attracts attention. Although it is not a large monument, it is still interesting and you can always see tourists taking pictures of it or having their pictures taken with the statue. I have passed it several times and there were always tourists around the statue. It is perhaps one of the most famous landmarks in the city.

Easily Bratislava’s most beloved and cheeky landmark - a bronze worker peeking out of a manhole, grinning up at passersby. It’s playful, funny, and a reminder not to take sightseeing too seriously. Locals say rubbing his head brings good luck (though judging by the shine, everyone’s already tried). Perfect photo spot, especially after a pint or two-you can’t help but smile when you spot him on the corner of Panská and Laurinská. Tip: Keep an eye out when walking - he’s literally on the street, and yes, people have tripped over him.

The Čumil Statue Čumil, one of Bratislava’s most famous landmarks, is a bronze statue located at the corner of Panská and Laurinská Streets in the city’s Old Town. Created by sculptor Viktor Hulík in 1997, it depicts a cheerful man peeking out from a manhole, resting his chin on his hands as he watches the world go by. The name Čumil comes from Slovak slang and means “the watcher” or “the observer.” The statue adds a touch of humor and charm to the historic streets of Bratislava and has become a beloved symbol of the city. Visitors often stop to take photos with Čumil for good luck and to experience a bit of the city’s playful spirit.

Čumil is one of Bratislava’s most famous and quirky statues, showing a man peeking out of a manhole. It’s a fun photo spot and adds charm to the Old Town streets. Locals say he might be “just watching” or “resting from work,” and there are even little legends about him bringing luck if you touch his head. It’s quick to see but definitely worth stopping by for a smile and a memorable picture.

I really want to meet the person who designed this and how he got such an innovative idea.. really great.. and lot of people are taking photos with him. Really so nice.

The man at work is an interevisual relief on a busy alley. Its cute n there are a lot of stories around it. Most are exaggerated, though no harm if they humour you. Rub his cap to get some luck! If u get lucky, good on you!!

Interesting little statue. It’s a big attraction despite its small size. It is very unique to Bratislava and you will always find someone posing with it. Look to the ground otherwise you might miss it.

Climb to the top for a wonderful view over the picturesque rooftops of the city. You need to buy your tower climb ticket at the old pharmacy 20m up the street - this is also the entrance to the museum. It’s a relatively easy climb with several landing areas with historical information. The whole tower has just been completely renovated and is in mint condition. At the top you have a 360’ view. Spectacular.

The view from the top of Michael’s Tower is excellent, offering a full 360° panorama over the old town, Bratislava Castle, and the SNP Bridge. Keep in mind that you have to climb what feels like 7–8 floors on foot, but it is absolutely worth it for the amazing scenery. Highly recommended.

Really neat museum in a super cool building. If you are willing to climb the many flights of stairs you are rewarded with fabulous city views. Along the way are many floors of weapons including spears, swords, halberds and rifles just to name a few. I speak no Slovakian but found the staff friendly and it was easy to get my point across and buy tickets.

A wonderful structure, but be aware the arms and armour displays have been entirely removed and there are almost no exhibits of any kind at present. Tickets were €6 for general entry in 2024.

Great museum if you are interested in history of Bratislava. Also, there were great exhibition about the history of torture.

An interesting history of the tower. Took about an hour to check it all out. Has views over the city so good for photos and history.

Nice Museum tower, it has some military uniforms and weapons from 14th till 19th century, above the tower you can have a nice panoramic view for the city, the ticket costs €5

a memorial from world war twobdedicated to those who died while fighting against the germans. full of history as you can also see all the people who have died for this city, even though all the people i have seen were soviets (obviously). the statue itself can be seen from a long range of view and there can be an amazing view but it is restricted by the trees (a drone would work very well). only bad thing is that as of 2025 theres lots of buildings under renovations and it ruins a little the view. surprisingly, i saw no bit of trash here

A very well done memorial for those that lost their lives fighting Nazi occupation, a must visit for anyone that is interested in history. Top of a hill with very good views. Recommend getting a bus or taxi ride to the location as it is up hill a lot the castle area.

The Slavin monument in Bratislava is a deeply moving and historically significant site. Located on a hill overlooking the city, it offers stunning panoramic views while carrying a powerful sense of remembrance and honor. The architecture and scale of the memorial are impressive, but what truly stands out is the quiet dignity of the place — a solemn tribute to those who sacrificed their lives during World War II. Walking through the grounds, surrounded by manicured gardens and peaceful silence, you feel the weight of history and gratitude. It is both humbling and inspiring. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or simply looking to connect with the city on a deeper level, Slavin is an essential and meaningful stop in Bratislava. A beautiful and respectful monument that stays with you long after you leave.

A wonderful tribute to fallen heroes and the comoradery of fighting forces.The monument is huge I just wish I could see the figure atop the pedestal. It's a marvellous space. There are also fantastic views allover the city, the castle and the river.

Even though it’s quite far from the city center and probably sits on the highest point of Bratislava, the walk there felt like a tribute to history. The scenery was stunning, and the place invites moments of quiet reflection.

Here’s a polished under-500-character review: A powerful and solemn war memorial offering panoramic views of Bratislava. Slavín honors fallen soldiers with impressive statues and a tranquil atmosphere. The surrounding park is peaceful, perfect for reflection or a quiet walk. The combination of historical significance, architecture, and views makes it a meaningful and memorable visit.

Thoughtful, elegant, peaceful war memorial with outstanding views of Bratislava. Well worth the walk up.

The tower itself has nice views (some of the best in Bratislava) and it's not too expensive to get on the view platform. Also, we didn't wait long for the elevator. However I would not recommend dining at the restaurant or getting a drink there as the prices are not really justified by the view.

If you have more time to spend in Bratislava, the UFO tower is worth seeing. Wonderful view over Bratislava and the surroundings. The Danube and the ships can be admired in all their splendor. As less pleasant parts I can list the fact that there are not many signs to the entrance to the UFO (maybe I didn't see them), the lady at the bar reception seemed a bit bored or maybe she wasn't having a good day and while we were climbing the stairs to the promenade there was a smell of sewage. All in all, I repeat, it is worth visiting.

Somehow I expected a bit more for such an iconic place. I don’t know if they’re working in the outside looks, but yeah… I don’t know… the view of the Danubio is impressive, but for the rest, no much for me to do… you also had limited mobility in the restaurant area…

I came a 2nd time to Bratislava, Slovakia 🇸🇰 just to enjoy the UFO tower and it's rooftop restaurant where the whole city can be seen. Took the train from Vienna and it was quite easy to reach. The staff were very friendly and understanding. The food and experience was wonderful, where the waiters explained each presented dish. Overall for a dining experience of 80€, it was quite a nice experience for me trying a fine dining restaurant for the first time. All media show the tower's panorama and the restaurant inside. I also didn't have to pay the tower's entrance fee since I had reserved in advance for the restaurant. The tower was shaking a bit from the vehicles passing through the highway 🛣️, which was a little bit uncomfortable.

worth for the view, but the problem is the prices as always. for a short 1 minute zoomed view, you have to pay like 1 euro, something which I did before I remembered just after that moment how I was able to see it all alone with an actual camera, the machine qorls hard by the way because i had a coin stuck there for a while. the person up there sells some drinks and is very helpful, but unfortunately nobody wants to buy anything from there and its kinda sad. the lift is kinda creepy but it has its own charm. as long as you have a nice budget, you can visit it

The view from the UFO Tower is definitely the highlight – you get a lovely panorama of Bratislava and the Danube, which is hard to beat. Compared to observation points in nearby capitals like Vienna or Budapest, it feels smaller and less polished, but still worth it if you’re in town. That said, accessibility and health & safety don’t seem to be a priority here. The space isn’t very clean, and I wouldn’t recommend the bar based on my visit. At €10 per person, it’s not bad value for the view alone, but don’t expect much beyond that. As far as sightseeing in Bratislava goes, this is an “ok experience” – not exceptional, but decent for first-time visitors.

The elevator ride up the bridge tower alone is worth it. The 360° views over Bratislava and the Danube are phenomenal, especially at night when the castle lights up. Critique: Drinks are pricey (cocktails around €15), but you’re paying for the view.

Very cool castle. Unfortunately it was super foggy the day we visited, so we couldn’t enjoy the view, but it gave a nice mysterious vibe to the castle. The gardens are beautiful, and the inside as well. Nothing too special if you’ve visited other big castles in Europe, but I’d say it’s worth it of you have a couple of hours to spend

Perched on a hill overlooking the Danube, this white fortress offers the best panoramic views in the city. The museum inside is skippable unless you’re into Slovak political history - the real attraction is the gardens and views from the terrace. Sunset here is spectacular. Tip: Visit in the late afternoon and walk down via the old stone steps into the Old Town for dinner.

Definitely worth a visit. A real castle on the hill. You can walk to it from the city centre, taking around 20-30 minutes but it’s an uphill route. Although inside the castle, there’s not much to see, I still really like the view from the tower. You can also visit the castle from the outside in the evening as well.

Bratislava Castle is an absolutely stunning landmark that dominates the city skyline and offers breathtaking views of the Danube River. Its elegant white façade and four corner towers give it a majestic, timeless charm. Inside, the castle houses fascinating exhibitions about Slovak history and culture, beautifully presented in a modern yet respectful way. The surrounding gardens and courtyards are peaceful and well maintained, perfect for a quiet walk or photo stop. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just enjoying a great panoramic view, Bratislava Castle is a must-visit destination that truly captures the spirit of Slovakia.

Bratislava Castle is absolutely worth the visit. The walk up is relaxing, and once you reach the top, the views over the city and the Danube are incredible. The castle itself is clean, well-kept, and full of history, but what I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere around the gardens and walls. It’s one of those places where you can take your time, enjoy the scenery, and really appreciate the city. A must-see when you’re in Bratislava!

It's a must do on your visit to the old town in Bratislava. The views are great. I suggest walking up to the castle first before going down to the town. Lovely manicured gardens.

The castle has great outsides and looks that has been maintained very well. Great to go walking or just outside coffee. The inside exhibitions at least from mi pov are very minimalistic. For the same price you can get to great exhibitions in other countries, at some point there were paintings but no info on it, I did Google lens to understand.

Absolutely marvelous combination of entertainment and education, for all ages and paths of life. Definitely a "should-visit" if you're around. Also, at 13.15 they have a demonstration of how a Tesla coil works, pleasure to observe.

Nice interactive but many not multilingual. Cute play area for kids

Fun for kids, they have enjoyed it a lot. Close to Bratislava.

Our experience at Futura was extremely positive. Kids of various ages will be wildly entertained by the very ingenious and engaging contraptions and games. In addition, they also have an entire daily schedule of events (planetarium, science experiments, etc.), which is again very child oriented. They also have a small bistro where you can get good coffee, sandwiches and other refreshments. We were there for 4 hours with a 3.5 year old, and we only left because we had to be somewhere else :)

Really cool place, great for going with kids and the 5D cinema is awesome. The place isn't expensive and even though to enter the 5D cinema you need to buy tickets they are pretty cheap for the value you get.

It was awesome. 11500 for my wife me and 4years old and free for my 2 years old. We all loved it. The tesla generator was great

We really enjoyed the day here. There is lot of to explore for all, our teenagers didn't want to leave. Surely worth to spend rainy or cold day here, exploring the four elements : water, air, fire and ground many interactive ways.
