📍

If you are visiting several attractions, you will be saving money by buying a Bratislava Card as this card is financially supported by the Slovak Ministry of Tourism and Sports to encourage tourism.

  • Bratislava Card. This is very good value, particularly if visiting for more than 24 hours. You can purchase either a physical or digital card. Available for 24, 48 or 72 hrs. Time starts when you first use the physical card or activates the digital card in its app and expires at the end of the purchased duration (not calendar day). Includes free guided downtown walking tour. Free access to 23 museums and galleries around Bratislava region and discounts in some museums and restaurants. Price is reasonable and you are likely going to recoup the cost of the card on the first day just by doing the walking tour and two attractions. With unlimited public transportation: €30 for 24 hr, €36 for 48 hr, €39 for 72 hr. Without public transportation: €27 for 24 hr, €32 for 48 hr, €35 for 72 hr. (updated Mar 2026)
