Starting in the early s, the museum opened in several stages before it was fully complete in The space outside the museum has been landscaped as a sculpture park, covered with greenery and hosting works by the likes of Hans de Bovenkamp and Roland Goeschl, all with the river in the background. One row of trees here was planted by statesmen visiting the palace like the former King of Spain Juan Carlos I. The high point of any tour is the Hall of Mirrors, a sequence of five salons, each named after the colour of its decor.
Book a table for a meal with a memorable view, or just come to the observation deck to see the Danube, castle and old Bratislava in all their glory. On the north side of the square are bars, restaurants and ice cream shops, while the south has a ceremonious line of embassies. According to legend, every New Year at the stroke of midnight the statue turns to face the Old Town Hall and bows to honour 12 councillors who died defending the city.
Its steel and concrete construction was cutting-edge for the time and allowed for a large open hall unobstructed by pillars. The synagogue is still an Orthodox place of worship and is preserved as a Slovakian National Monument. The Baroque exterior gives way to a Guggenheim-esque atrium. In this stylish space are four floors dedicated to Slovakian art sculpture and painting from the 19th century to the present. At 70 metres, the observation deck has two eateries, one a casual bistro and the other an upmarket restaurant.
Both afford spellbinding panoramas of the city, and you can see Austria, Hungary and even as far as the Czech Republic from this height. Thanks to its age the park abounds with mature trees, and the willows, poplars, maples and ash trees planted in groups along specific paths in the 18th century.

The former seat of the city self-government is since the seat of the Bratislava City Museum, the oldest museum in Slovakia. It took a little bit of searching to find the entrance. Not knowing if I was in the right spot, I pulled the door open, and yes, it lead up into a ticket office for the tower.
It costs just a few euros to climb the tower. And since it is so easily overlooked, we only shared the view with two other people.
