Before its reconstruction, the 460-meter-long (1,510\u00a0ft) bridge included a wooden pathway for pedestrians, a two-lane road, and a railway track, connecting the historic old city of Bratislava with the newer region Petr\u017ealka. The bridge was closed for cars in 2009 and for buses on 14 May 2010. On 2 December 2013 it was also closed for pedestrian and bicycle traffic as deconstruction of the old bridge began. At the time of its closure it was the oldest standing bridge in Bratislava.","day_image":"cdb0ccc4-0131-4743-3ffe-ba5d2871be00","address":"","latitude":48.13833333,"longitude":17.11722222,"wiki_latitude":48.13833333,"wiki_longitude":17.11722222,"place_id":"e94d0fe0ab34faf9d7878e80120d54fb","order":0,"tour_ids":"6165","order_tours":{"6165":0},"colors":["#be647f"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Essential Free Tour Bratislava","id":6165}]},{"title":"Cumil (The Watcher Statue)","wiki_title":null,"description":null,"wiki_description":"","day_image":"6167047b-9943-474a-5582-c7fc1f904c00","address":"","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"wiki_latitude":null,"wiki_longitude":null,"place_id":"f16fa666488fd458fa243105a4a86b91","order":0,"tour_ids":"6165","order_tours":{"6165":0},"colors":["#be647f"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Essential Free Tour Bratislava","id":6165}]},{"title":"Freedom Square","wiki_title":"N\u00e1mestie Slobody","description":null,"wiki_description":"N\u00e1mestie Slobody , locally referred to as Gottko, is a major city square in the Old Town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

Best Free Tours in Bratislava
Baroque architecture, surrounding vineyards, and cobblestone streets make this one of Slovakia’s most attractive cities. The capital city is bordered by Austria and Hungary and offers tourists everything from 15th-century castles to modern cafes and restaurants. Throughout the year, Bratislava enjoys a variety of events and celebrations in its streets. Join Free Walking Tours in Bratislava and admire how old and new exist in harmony. In particular, most tourists join the Bratislava City Tour first to enjoy an easy introduction to the old town with a charming local guide. It’s a good choice to discover all the highlights in a short amount of time. However, if spooky stories are your thing, you can book a spot on the Free Myths & Legends Tour of Bratislava to stroll along this beautiful city at night whilst learning some of its most macabre and shocking tales.
Highlights of a Free Tour in Bratislava
Start your Free Tour in Bratislava with a visit to the Old Town Hall, now home to the Bratislava City Museum. Situated in a lovely square, it is the prime location for a number of concerts and events that happen throughout the year. Located on a hill just above the Old Town is Bratislava Castle, the landmark of the city. The castle also houses the Museum of History, which gives a fascinating account of the ethnocultural roots of Slovaks. St. Martin’s Cathedral, and the Museum of Jewish Culture are some of the top sights and attractions of this wonderful city. Just on from here is the Eurovea Waterfront, the heart of modern Bratislava. If you are looking for incredible views, head to the observation deck, affectionately known as the UFO. Standing 95 meters, you get some of the most amazing views of the city and the surrounding area.
Things to Do in Bratislava
Bratislava is a city with endless charm. Spend your morning wandering around the delightful historic center with a Bratislava Free Walking Tour. There’s plenty to admire here, from ornate fountains to Baroque architecture. Whilst you are wandering around the old town keep an eye out for a series of unexpected statues, the most famous one being Cumil. There is also a vast number of artisan stalls, cafés and ice cream parlors to tempt you. A short way out of the city is the Botanical Garden of Comenius University. Slightly off the beaten tourist track this is a wonderful place to breathe and take the surrounding nature. If you have more time and fancy going further afield take a trip to Devin Castle around 10 km outside of the city this amazing castle has been standing since the 5th century BC.
