This tower is a part of the Old Town Hall sitting in the middle of the old Bratislava City. Near by the Main square (In Slovak Hlavné námestie). The Tower is a part of the tour of the old town hall - the historical building. Actually it is a tour of the City Museum and the City museum is sitting there in the historical building of the old town hall. It is interesting Building because from the inside with interieriors and decorations is looks more like a castle. Also the inside large centre square with architecture language look more like a castle and with the Tower made even stronger that impression. Indoor many rooms are in a good condition and remain centuries the same with original fresco painting. To get in on the Tower visitor needs purchase a ticket to the City Museum which is cheap and well worth to see large museum with rich Exhibition with a unique artificacts and refreshing a history about the Bratislava city and that Museum has interesting Exhibitions which takes about an hour half and then the Tower visit it takes about half hour get up and enjoy views from the Tower on the St. Matus Cathedral and the Tower of the Cathedral, a view on the Bratislava Castle and a view on the old city of Bratislava around the Old Town Hall. In respect of the Tower itself offer a nice small tour of three floors with Art Tower pictures and surprisely with furniture on the first floor and with bells on the second floor. To get on the Tower'' outdoor view from the third floor in winter season which has remaining open the entry for the view just the door is closed and that a visitor needs to find the door on the third floor and open the door get outdoor and then can walk in circle outside around the tower on the walk side and enjoy really nice views from the tower. I do consider quiet enjoyable the whole trip which is not demanding on time or walking. It is located in close location to the city centre as well. The best way get here is with a tram number four which is operate through the old city centre and the tram stop is call 'Centrum' and from there only two minutes walking get at the Old Town Hall. You can also take a tram number one which takes you to the tram stop call Námestie Ludovita Štúra. Then you can walk to the St. Matúš Cathedral and take a short walk from there less than fifth minutes get to the Main Square where is sitting the Old town hall with the tower. You should also take notice all photographs are in focus on the Tower and photos showing the place around the tower from the views of the Tower of the Old Town Hall of city of Bratislava which is the capital city...
Read more5€ entry to the museum was well worth it! It was much bigger than expected so give yourself plenty of time. Some very cool exhibits. Each room had an informational overview, and all the items on display had detailed descriptions so you could learn about whatever you thought interesting and simply gaze at the rest. The basement has a torture museum which is a bit nauseating (brace yourself) but overall fascinating - that alone was worth the ticket. Cool view from the clock tower, but only through windows and it's quite the climb up many spiral stairs. Luckily there are little exhibits on each level so you can stop to read while you catch your breath. They provide free lockers for you to store your backpacks (you must store, but it is locked with a key that you take so...
Read moreOld town hall now serves as museum of history of Bratislava and tourist attraction. Town hall activities and duties are moved to buildings on small square behind this building. Regarding museum I think this is one of those worth visit, there are not many of them in Slovakia. Here you can see many artefacts from the old times together with some explanation. For me this is the most beautiful building in Bratislava however that's my subjective view. After visiting museum you can go to tower where is nice view on surrounding area and you csn see the roofs of historical center from birds perspective. If they didn't change it you csn buy ticket only for tower visit separately but I think it's better together...
