Bratislava is compact enough for a weekend, and the Bratislava City Guides help you spend that weekend well: where to eat bryndzové halušky away from main-square prices, which paid viewpoint to choose, where locals drink lager straight from the barrel and how to fit in Vienna or Budapest by train. Every place has the reason to go, what to order or look for and one useful tip, and the guide opens in your browser the minute your payment is through.

Three places from the guides
Dolnozemská
Panská 7, Old Town
A homely dining room cooking food from the Pannonian plain and the Balkans: stuffed vine leaves, cabbage rolls, schnitzel and corn-fed chicken. Portions are huge and the soups are rich, so one starter is plenty; most mains are €10 to €18. From the food guide.
Slavín
Hill above the Old Town
A Soviet war memorial and cemetery on the hill, with a tall obelisk and a sweeping view over the city towards the border. It is a sombre place, calm and striking, and it never closes. From the things to do guide.
JazzTikot
Biela, Old Town
A tiny jazz pub with bands on most nights and no set ticket: at the end you pay what you felt the music was worth, usually €5 to €10. The room is small, so it fills up and warms up quickly. From the nightlife guide.
Finish the game, keep exploring
World City Trail’s scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour in Bratislava take you through the Old Town. Afterwards the guides keep going: halušky for lunch on Panská, a glass of Frankovka in a wine bar, the bus out to Devín castle or a train to Vienna the next morning.
