Things to do nearby
Multium is located halfway between the Old Town and Bratislava Castle—two major landmarks you’re likely already familiar with. What you might not know are the features of the space between them. Take time to explore Zidovska Street, with its footbridge to the City Walls, the Museum of Jewish Culture, and the picturesque St. Nicholas Church.
Bratislava is known for its laid-back atmosphere. Enjoy walks in the historic city center, have a cup of coffee in one of the countless coffee shops, and relax. In the Old Town, everything is within the walking distance. Explore romantic alleys, a Gothic cathedral, medieval city walls, beautiful palaces, and lively historic squares without any haste.
During the Middle Ages, Bratislava’s massive City Walls played an important defensive role. The inner city was only accessible through three main fortified gates, and later a smaller one in the Danube direction. The Michael’s Gate featuring an iconic tower is the only one that survived until today. As the walls’ relevance decreased after the defeat of the Ottoman forces in the 18th century, their large part was destroyed to allow the city’s further expansion. Travel back in time by entering the preserved part of the walls through a bridge connecting it with the Castle Hill, a gate opposite to the St. Martin’s Cathedral, or a passage from Kapitulska Street. The Walls are open every day of the week.
Perched on a hill where people have dwelled since the Stone Age and where the Celts minted their well-known Biatec coins, Bratislava Castle stands tall as the most impressive landmark in the city. For centuries, it was overseeing the intersection of Europe’s major trade routes – the Danube River and the Amber Road. Today, it exhibits a historical museum and a baroque garden. The castle walls and the castle park remain accessible at all times, offering one of the finest views of the city’s panorama.
The Museum of the Jewish Culture guides you through the history of Jews in this region since the Middle Ages. The artifacts demonstrate the community’s daily life, holidays, and key personalities, as well as the interior design of a synagogue. It also features a commemorative exhibition dedicated to 70,000 victims of the Holocaust from Slovakia. The museum, a specialized body under the Slovak National Museum, is located in a 17th century late-Renaissance mansion built in the Jewish quarter, an area between the inner city and the castle.
