Unconventional views of Bratislava that will take your breath away
Through photographs, visitors as well as residents of Bratislava can capture the unique atmosphere of the city. Thanks to unconventional views, we can also compare how the streets, the whole district and the overall image of Bratislava are changing. We have selected the best shots among those posted on social media with hashtag #bratislava this year.
1. Photogenic Old Bridge
The Old Bridge with its picturesque views of Bratislava with the St. Martin’s Cathedral or Bratislava Castle is a popular place for both Bratislava residents and visitors. At the time of the first Czech-Slovak Republic, a railway line led through it to Vienna. Today, Petržalka is connected by tram to the centre of Bratislava through it.

2. New Centre – New Views
Thanks to high-rise buildings and an ideal location close to the city centre, the former industrial part of the city has come to life and will gain a new flair. Sky Park, the new Nivy bus station, Twin City or Zwirn are adjacent to the Danube embankment, which is a popular year-round location for relaxation and gastronomic experiences. High-rise buildings in the new centre have changed not only the panorama of the city, but also the view of it.

5. Modern paintings of the Slovak greats
The Nedbalka Gallery is located on one of the oldest streets in Bratislava. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was one of the most interesting streets in terms of architecture in the historic centre of the Old Town. The contemporary art has found its place in the gallery, and together with the exceptional architecture of the building reminiscent of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, it is one of the most interesting art spaces in Europe.
