Just show up. In the summer months, we recommend to eat lunch before the tour, in the winter months you can go for lunch after the tour. The tour lasts around 1 hour and finishes close the castle (open until 00:00 so you can visit on your own at night). We HIGHLY recommend having 1-2 drinks before coming to this specific tour of Bratislava
ON THE TOUR:
This free walking tours is unique. We did extensive research for months and we came up with 1 hour evening tour of Bratislava. We put together the really unique stories of the people living in Bratislava during the harsh medieval times.
The stories include the biggest female mass murderer in the history of the planet, the infamous plague (black death), witch hunting and more.
We visit the dark, quiet alleys without any tourists, the unique preserved city walls and the statue of the first witch burned in Bratislava.
