Bratislava Identity Bike Tour: Cycling Urban Adventure

Our guided bike tour in Bratislava is an insightful cycling journey with our local guide to understand the essentials of history and genius loci of the Slovak capital.

Our bike tour takes you to the best cycling locations near the Bratislava city centre. After introduction in the Old Town, we cross the Danube river by iconic SNP bridge and enjoy splendid views to the main Bratislava city landmarks. We enjoy the chill of the oldest city park and head to the authentic communist-era housing estates of Petržalka.

The last part of the route leads us to the post-industrial modern riverside projects and the picturesque Blue Church. This intense bike tour shows you a full picture of Bratislava with its contrasts between medieval Old Town, Cold War history and the most recent developments.
