Events in Bratislava
With traditions that date back to the medieval Hungarian Empire, Bratislava offers some truly unique experiences for travellers:
Bratislava City Days
A yearly celebration of the city itself, Bratislava City Days take place around the end of April and see many of the city’s biggest attractions open their doors for free. This is a great time to visit the city as you can enjoy free sightseeing tours and free entrance to every museum and gallery. There are also many performances and exhibitions throughout the city, making for a bold showcase of Bratislava’s culture.
Bratislava Rag
Celebrating culture and music, as well as marking May Day, the first weekend of May sees the city of Bratislava hosting a series of open-air concerts, thought-provoking talks and an awe-inspiring fireworks display. A great highlight of any trip, Bratislava Rag is an experience that’ll last a lifetime.
Slovak Food Festival
With a growing culinary diversity and a rich history of dishes to explore, the Slovak Food Festival in late May is a wonderful experience for visitors to the area. Nicknamed ‘the biggest picnic in town’ this is a great way to try local food and even befriend the residents of Bratislava.
Coronation Days
Step back in time as actors take to the streets of Bratislava in late June to re-enact a traditional Hungarian coronation. With exhibitions of traditional clothing, music, dancing and fighting throughout the city, this is a fantastic event for children and adults alike.
