Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Bratislava Region, Slovakia

September 29, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Bordering both Austria and Hungary and couched between the Danube and the Little Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is a picturesque city whose natural surroundings are rivaled only by its own historic architecture. Dating back centuries, the Old Town is home to numerous historic churches, castles, galleries and museums, including the Museum of Jewish Culture and Bratislava City Museum. The surviving fortifications at Michael's Gate provide a glimpse into the medieval history of the city.

Vino Fiala

Cellar from the 17th century has an authentic atmosphere of a family winery. You comes with original stone arches as well as historical tools and wine barrels, of which many are still in use. Rustic vaulted wine room decorated with Modra's ceramics, with original tiled stove, traditional local dishes, along with wines from its own vineyards. All this creates a unique charm of the true Small Carpathian winery. On a visit to Slovakia their Highness, the Prince and Princess of Japan did not miss to see our authentic cellar ...

On a trip to Europe, we decided to spend a night in Bratislava because my husband’s family immigrated to the US from the smaller villages outside of Bratislava around 1900. We don’t know much about his family, but records that we have show they were wine growers. We found out about the wine tour and thought we would try it to check out the area and learn some of the history of wine making in the region. When we arrived, Martin had set a wonderful table with treats prepared by his mother, and we tasted several wonderful wines at the table and also from the barrels in the wine cellar. We learned a lot about the area and the history of wine making. We also found out that Martin went to school with someone who had the same family name as ours. We are from northern Michigan, which is home to a growing wine industry. This tour reminded us a lot of the smaller wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula but with a much more personal touch and the depth of centuries of wine making.

Really enjoyed this challenging escape room with some very clever puzzles! We had two groups of 4 doing the same room simultaneously which gave a nice competitive edge. Staff were friendly and gave hints at appropriate points. Would like to try their other puzzles one day!

Mackafe (cat cafe)

Aid,relax, catlings, a cup of coffee, or tea.....these are only a few of many words characterizing our main reasons for launching this unusual, challenging but at the same time very enjoyable project. The 21st century's life is bustling and stressfull. Time is flustered, everything has to be done ,,Asap" and there is no time for leisure (taking breath). People are dashing constantly without thinking of their well-being and relaxation. Nowadays it is an obvious aspect that release of stress and mental hygiene are the main essentials for surviving nowadays. Do you attend often (from time to time)your favorite coffee-house accompanied with your friends? Do you love animals ? Would you like to support shelter animals? If the answer is ,,yes", you are JUST LIKE US. So what would you say about the idea to replace classic sitting in a coffee-house by sitting in a comfortable environment of our club, which is completely different from all the clubs you were accustomed in our country. You can spend wonderful time in our club in the soothing company of our lovely cats. It is already based on scientific approach, that cats are able to raise the health condition of human being. Just imagine - you meet your friends in a placescape of our home-like club of cat-fanciers, you take a seat in our unconventional , but comfortable sittings and you order your favorite cup of coffee or tea. There will be something more for you , a real healing balm for your soul, our cats. You can caress them or snuggle up to them or just play with them, if they would like to cuddle, snooze or play too. Let's stop to imagine all this and come to visit us to experience this feeling on line. We offer not only relax, but also the possibility to support SHELTER cats(cats at a pinch) Do you ask how? In co-operation with a civic association ,,MačkySOS" (CatsSOS), we give a hand to rescued cats to find their new friends and home, which they are really worthy of. Are you considering adoption of a cat currently? That's one of the reasons why to visit us. Or do you think! simply about how to make a ,,good deed"? This is enough reason too. So stop talking about it, let's visit our club and youĺl find probably your new true friend for the term of your life. We look forward to spending time with you in our club ,,Mačkafé". Miaow! Sincerely Yours ,,Mačkafé Team".

We came in a group of 8 people plus my 10 month old baby. If you have tiny humans you can also come over as there are carpets and couches, it was warm and no smoking. The other three kids were 8-14-17 and adults, we played shooting games, all kinds of interactive ones, rollercoasters, zombies, looking around ocean, everyone found something fun to do. I personally think one hour is not enough, with 8 of us we had two screens and spent over two hours without feeling it. Loved the multiplayer game of boxing, the younger sibling kicked the older ones ass for the first time in some game (boxing) so it made her day. Definitely recommend
