Why Main Square Bratislava matters
The main square is the old town's living room. The Old Town Hall with its tower stands on one side, a fountain in the middle, and cafes spread around. In December a festive market fills it. It is the best place to start a walk and get oriented before you explore the lanes.
Talking points
- The Old Town Hall tower offers a view.
