Bratislava Attractions
Bratislava Castle
Situated on a hill 269 feet (82m) above the city, Bratislava
Castle is a prominent structure on the city's skyline and provides
excellent views of Bratislava, as well as over Austria, and even
Hungary in fine weather. It has been inhabited for thousands of
years due to its important location on the Danube River in central
Europe, and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in its
history, as well as undergoing a series of reconstructions and
extensions. Four towers make up the enormous castle building,
enclosing a courtyard and collections of the Slovak National
Museum, as well as a Treasure Chamber.
