Tour description

Explore the historic Bratislava streets with the help of an experienced tour guide. Of course, there are plenty of tips and recommendations for your stay. :)

 

About my tour

This tip-based 2.5-hour walking city tour will show you all the top attractions in the historic city center of Bratislava.
The guided tour starts at Rybné námestie next to the hotel Park Inn and it ends at Bratislava Castle. After the tour, you can join me and we can go to the city center together. :)
As your expert local guide, I will take you to its top landmarks like:

  • The Cathedral
  • Salvator Pharmacy
  • St. Michael’s Gate
  • Bratislava street statues
  • Opera House
  • Primate’s Palace
  • Bratislava Castle  



Why choose a tour with me??


  • The informative but not boring tour
  • Focused on historical, political and cultural context
  • You know your guide in advance. (My name is Sebastian.  😉 )
  • Smiling, licensed, local and independent guide
  • I’m happy to answer questions
  • Recommendations from a native Slovak living in Bratislava for 17 years
  • You can join only the first part of the tour. The tour has two parts: Bratislava Old Town (01:45), and the way to Bratislava Castle and the Castle (00:45)
  • If you want to tip the guide, you can pay cash or by card.



The official end of the tour is at Bratislava Castle, but you can join me, and we will return together to the Old Town. The very end of the tour is in front of St. Martin Cathedral on Rudnay Square.
Join me on this introduction to Bratislava's Castle and Old Town. It’s a great way to orientate yourself in the city at a price to suit everybody's budget. :)

A big part of the tour is suitable for pets, BUT dogs are not allowed to enter the gardens of Bratislava Castle. :(

Sebastian's walking tour was excellent! He was knowledgeable, and friendly, and provided invaluable tips for our stay. His passion for sharing his expertise about the area, and providing insights into the city's history, culture, and hidden gems was evident in every step of the journey. He not only encouraged questions but also took the time to provide thorough and insightful answers, enriching our understanding of the surroundings. I highly recommend Sebastian's walking tours to anyone looking to explore the city with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thank you, Sebastian,

It was great thanks, your knowledge was very good and tips too. It would have been good to go to the presidential palace too but overall we enjoyed the tour!

This was an excellent tour that covered the highlights of Bratislava, as well as historically connected the city with the surrounding cities of Vienna and Budapest. Since we are visiting all three, it was very fascinating to learn the history synopsis. Sebastian presented the information in an engaging way that made it easy to follow along and remember the most important/ most fun facts. This route ended at the castle which was perfect for our group since we wanted to stay behind to look around, most Bratislava walking tours I saw start at the castle.
