The strip between the SNP ‘UFO’ Bridge and the Old Bridge on the Petrzalka side of the Danube river offers an alternative to the Old Town’s promenade, or an additional loop option. Less crowded in the peak season, with a closer access to the river, and, most importantly, with a nice view of the Castle and the Old Town. Those are Petrzalka Waterfront’s greatest benefits. Also, there are some nice restaurants in this area, including on a boat.
Built in 1960, this memorial and military cemetery honors the soldiers of the Red Army who were killed in action in western Slovakia during World War II in April 1945. Despite its solemn purpose, Slavin is a favorite among locals and visitors for the stunning views it offers of Bratislava, particularly during the evening hours.
