Bratislava City Days
Free entry to city institutions, free tours, creative workshops, competitions, river cruises, rides in historic vehicles, exhibitions and many other interesting events.
The open-door days of local government have become a cherished tradition in the modern history of Bratislava. Rooted in the historical charter of King Ondrej III., which granted the city its privileges, these events honor the tradition of electing the city’s mayor and celebrate the city’s heritage.
The Bratislava City Days will take place on the weekend of April 26–27, 2025. A diverse program is planned across various locations, aiming to unite the city while offering smaller, localized events in different neighborhoods. This celebration highlights Bratislava’s rich history and its vibrant community spirit.
