UFO Lookout Tower in Bratislava

from Katerina in Slovakia Visits 1687 4 June, 2022

The UFO Lookout Tower is an iconic building, a symbol of the city of Bratislava. It is located next to the old town, on the banks of the Danube. Resembling a "flying saucer", it is one of the architectural prides of the Slovak capital.

If you want to see the city from a bird's eye view - this is the place and the experience is definitely worth it. Its height is 95 meters, and in clear weather its visibility can reach 100 km. The view that will unfold before you is superb and difficult to describe in words. Keep in mind that it is possible to buy one ticket with which you can visit the tower during the day in the light and in the evening in the dark. During our visit, the tower was open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. There is free parking under the tower, which you can use if you are driving. If you use public transport, which is very well arranged there, you need Most SNP or Aupark stops, which are close to the tower.

At the top there is also a restaurant with a perfect view over the city, and for adrenaline lovers there is another type of walk, called Skywalk or in short - a full tour of the tower, but on its ledge, secured with rope and accompanied by an instructor.
