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.

Town where i live my whole life is very safe for poeple (young or old, girlsor boys). You can visit my town and don't have to worry about someone stealing or attacking you. The city is very safe during the day and also at night.

Bratislava is a small walkable city which is very safe even after dark. Even public transport is very safe to use during the evenings/nights. During weekends there are usually more police officers in the streets and we have a dedicated team of young people going around during nights making sure nobody is left drunk in the streets.
