Free Tour Route Bratislava

What we will do on the Free Tour of Bratislava

Discover the hidden secrets of Bratislava in our exclusive walking tour, designed to reveal the most fascinating and lesser-known facets of the Slovak capital. Our tour begins at the Main Square, where the heart of the city beats with a unique mix of history and modernity.

As we walk through the narrow streets of the old town, we’ll tell you the legend of 'Schöne Náci,' an eccentric local character who wandered the streets of Bratislava in the 1950s, dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, greeting everyone with a smile. His statue, tucked away in a corner, stands as a testament to the city’s resilient spirit during tough times.

We’ll delve into the Jewish Quarter, where you’ll discover the little-known story of 'stone soup.' During World War II, a clever Jewish cook fed her community with this soup, convincing Nazi soldiers that the stones at the bottom of the pot were the secret ingredient that gave it flavor. This clever trick allowed her to add vegetables and meat to the soup without arousing suspicion.

Our tour will take you to Michael’s Gate, the only surviving medieval gate of the original four. Here, we’ll reveal the mystery of the marks on the outer wall: they are not mere scratches, but medieval measurements used by merchants to prevent fraud in transactions.

In the heart of the city, we’ll stop in front of the quirky 'Čumil,' the statue of the 'Working Man' poking his head out of a manhole. We’ll tell you how this piece of contemporary art has become a symbol of good luck: touching his head is said to guarantee you’ll return to Bratislava, while posing for a photo with him ensures marriage within the year.

We’ll walk towards the Danube River, where we’ll show you the exact spot where Leonardo da Vinci’s flying bridge once stood. Though it was never built, the Renaissance genius’s plans for a bridge connecting Bratislava to the other side of the river were recently discovered, revealing a vision ahead of its time.

Our next stop will be the Blue Church of St. Elizabeth, an Art Nouveau architectural whimsy. We’ll share the secret behind its color: blue was not only St. Elizabeth’s favorite color, but it was also believed to keep mosquitoes away, a common problem in the city in the early 20th century.

We’ll end our tour at Bratislava Castle, where we’ll reveal the story of the lost treasure of the Habsburgs. Rumor has it that a chest full of jewels and gold coins was hidden in the tunnels beneath the castle during the Napoleonic occupation and was never recovered. Some locals still dream of finding it.

Throughout the tour, you’ll immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Bratislava, woven with threads of urban legends, forgotten history, and local curiosities. Our expert guides will not only show you the sights but will transport you through time with their captivating stories, offering you a unique perspective of this Danube gem that you won’t find in any conventional tourist guide.
