BUSY DAY in BRATISLAVA!! Christmas Markets, Delicious Food, and More!

Bratislava is a unique city with a lot to explore! We spent one busy day doing and seeing as much as possible, and stopping by a Christmas Market before the day was done!
Our first stop was going through St. Michael’s Gate to enter Bratislava’s old town on Michalska Street. This old town area was restored after communist rule to its former charm, and definitely a must-do on a trip to Bratislava. Our next stop was Hlavne Namestie, or Bratislava’s Old Town Square, with unique buildings made more interesting by the cannon balls still in the walls of some buildings from the time when Napoleon seized Bratislava. When we arrived, the town square was transformed into a charming Christmas Market.
We continued to explore the old town, which has several unique statues around town added in the 1990s as a beautification of the old town center. The most famous of which, the Peeper, is a great photo op. We couldn’t resist!
No city tour is complete without local food, and for lunch we stopped at Bratislavska for traditional Slovak food and beer. Definitely a must stop for fresh, local, hearty food. Perfect for a chilly day!
We continued touring the city and stopped at the unique Blue Church of St. Elisabeth. While we weren’t able to go inside, it was well worth visiting for the unique exterior.
We finished up tour of the city by crossing SNP Bridge and the UFO. These communist-era relics may not be controversial design choices, but worth visiting to enjoy incredible views of Bratislava and a drink or meal in the restaurant at the top of the UFO.
We couldn’t leave Bratislava without a quick dessert, and we stopped by the Christmas Market one more time for a sweet jam and poppy seed treat. What a great way to end a busy day!
