A
Bratislava Castle
From Hlavná stanica, Bratislava’s main train station, it’s around a 20-minute walk to Hurbanovo námestie, the northern edge of the old town. Dominating the city of Bratislava from above is Bratislava Castle, the city’s reconstructed 15th-century castle with views from the ramparts. Inside the castle, the Historical Museum covers folk crafts, furniture, modern art and history. At the time of research, the museum was being renovated. On the ground floor, the Treasury of Slovakia has a small collection of archaeological finds.
