First of all, I would like to say that it is a very safe place for solo travel. Prices are not too high compared to other European cities. Their most famous dish is similar to halusky niyokki. you can try. Slavin, Slovak National Gallery, Blue Church, Bratislava Castle, Devin Castle are the places you should definitely go. 2 days will be enough to visit the whole city. It was pretty easy to find the buses with google maps. local people were very helpful. They generally know English. In summary, it is a place where you can go and see, but you should not keep expectatiın very high.
Posted: July 15, 2024Experienced: May, 2024It’s really safe for solo traveler to travel in their capital city, there’s not much things to do in Bratislava, I recommend to take a bus 20mins to a small town , there is a meditation circle on the hill of the town which is really amazing!
Posted: March 25, 2024I spent 2 days in Bratislava and that was enough for me. I visited Devín Castle in the first half of the day, and then I went to the center - Hrad, the Old Town, and covered all the major landmarks. The next day I went to see St. Elizabeth's Church, it was built from blue stone and looked amazing. It is located a bit off the beaten path, so I went there another day (after the main landmarks). I also combined this with a visit to Rusovce Castle, which offers beautiful views and has a large park.
Posted: May 28, 2023I was in Bratislava last month. Charming city, small, but there's plenty to do. However, it's not the best place for nightlife.
Posted: May 24, 2023Bratislava was nice and I felt safe. I stayed for one night and felt that was enough. I recommend a trip to Devín Castle.
Posted: May 21, 2023Bratislava is not too big, not too crowded, has a nice old town, a castle, and several very good museums, which are not big enough to get bored there. Amazing views of the Danube. There are many inexpensive restaurants, tasty food, and good beer and wine. I felt very safe there. I visited Devín Castle on a hill, located at the confluence of the Morava and Danube, a picturesque place.
Posted: May 20, 2023Bratislava is a rather small and pedestrian-friendly city. I visited it in one day. I stayed there in a hostel and it was quite okay. I felt safe.
Posted: April 9, 2023A few weeks ago I went to Bratislava. It was beautiful there, but there wasn't much to do. I realized that one day/night there was enough for me. We walked around the castle and entered several churches. We also went to the UFO tower just before dusk. We climbed up, took some pictures. Then we had some cocktails at the bar in the UFO tower. When we finished, we returned to the tower and saw Bratislava after dark. It was stunning!
Posted: December 13, 2022I visited Bratislava this summer. It took me about 6 hours to tour the city. It is very nice, but quite small. I felt safe all the time.
Posted: December 1, 2022I highly recommend touring the Bratislava Castle! I definitely also recommend the baths in Budapest, we visited them in the evening and it was really cool! There are also very interesting ruin bars in Budapest, if that's something you are interested in.

Bratislava is overall quite safe. I would say that Obchodna street can be dangerous for a solo woman because there are lot of drunk people. But i was there a lot of times because of the pubs and luckily nothing happened there. But you need to be careful
Posted: September 19, 2024Bratislava is usually a safe place for women to move or walk but it is better to use public transport or taxi after midnight. I advise not to walk alone at night and in suburb areas and not talk to drunk people especially in the city centre.

Hi, My name is Hanka, and I'm from Slovakia. Every now and then, I like to escape the everyday routine of being a mom and a business owner to explore new cities, countries, and cultures. I'm very open and energetic, and I love being outdoors. I'm always ready for a good conversation. I've been studying various psychotherapeutic approaches for 9 years and have gone through a significant healing process. I'm also a skilled gardener with a wide range of interests and knowledge due to my never-ending curiosity about life. Sometimes, I can't help but marvel at the beauty of life :).

Hi there, born and raised in South Africa, now living in the States. I’m currently on a wanderlust journey looking for something off-the-beaten-path. Here for the opportunity to share sightseeing; get to know people from all over the world; forge connections and build relationships that bridge geographic divides. Open to helping those around me and learn from anyone who can host me in their city :)
