A blend of Slovak, Hungarian, and German influences has created a European city unlike any other in Bratislava’s compact medieval Old Town. On this walking tour through Slovakia’s capital, you’ll discover how this strategic location at the crossroads of ancient trade routes shaped its remarkable history.
Starting at Rybné Square, you’ll find out how the city evolved from a Roman settlement to a medieval trading post, before becoming an imperial capital and finally a modern European center. You’ll hear how Bratislava served as the coronation city for Hungarian kings when Budapest was occupied by Ottoman forces.
