What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the City Walls Remnants for offering a glimpse into Bratislava's medieval past and connecting with royal and Jewish history. The walk provides interesting historical markers and views of the cathedral. However, some find the remnants limited and wish for greater accessibility to upper levels for better views.
"Extensive length that can be joined from the castle visit to the cathedral or vv. We were fortunate to take in the posters on famous Slovakians."
Jean Kilroe
"Nice little walk around the semi-maze of the walls that you can stumble upon other interesting things like portraits of crowned kings etc. It features a small viewpoint but there is nothing but a road there now, sadly. I wish the top level was open for visitors. It would probably give a good close view of the old town."
Marin “SayanMk” Kolev
"The coronation of 5 kings took place here at St. Martin's along the old walls."
