Bratislava Castle

Bratislava Castle is the city’s most recognizable landmark, standing on a hill above the Danube with wide views over Bratislava and neighboring Austria and Hungary. Rebuilt in the 20th century after a long period of ruin, it now houses exhibitions of the Slovak National Museum and offers insight into the region’s history from prehistoric times to the modern era. Visitors come for its striking four-tower silhouette, hilltop setting, and convenient location within walking distance of the Old Town.
