Travel Guide to Bratislava Castle

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the city center (Hlavné námestie), walk towards the east along the pedestrian street, Obchodná ulica, until you reach the intersection with Karadžičova. Turn left and continue straight until you reach the end of Karadžičova, where it meets Gorkého. Continue straight up the hill on Gorkého street. As you ascend, you will see Bratislava Castle in the distance. Follow the path as it winds up, and soon you will reach the castle grounds.

• Public Transport - Tram

  From the city center (e.g., from the tram stop at Hlavné námestie), take tram number 1 or 4 in the direction of 'Zimný štadión' or 'Karpaty'. Get off at the 'Hrad' stop, which is the closest stop to Bratislava Castle. After exiting the tram, follow the signs leading to the castle, which is just a short walk uphill.

• Public Transport - Bus

  If you are near the central bus station (Autobusová stanica), take bus number 29 towards 'Bory Mall'. Get off at the 'Hrad' stop. From there, follow the signs indicating the way to Bratislava Castle, which is within walking distance and located on a hill just a few minutes away.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the many bike-sharing services available in the city. Begin your journey in the center and head towards the Danube riverfront. Follow the bike path along the river until you reach the foot of the hill leading to the castle. Park your bike at the designated bike racks near the entrance, then walk up the short path leading to the castle entrance.
