Bratislava Castle

As we run up to the iconic Bratislava Castle, you’ll instantly recognize its striking rectangular shape with four corner towers — a true symbol of the city. From here, the panoramic views are breathtaking: you can see the Danube River winding through the city, the Old Town rooftops, and even Austria in the distance on clear days. While passing through the castle grounds, you’ll spot the Baroque gardens, restored to their royal elegance, and the statues of ancient gods and heroes lining the walkways. The courtyard is open and spacious — perfect for a short pause to take in the history. This stop is a mix of history, beauty, and the best cityscape view Bratislava has to offer — a reward for the climb!
