Date with the city

The Bratislava Cultural Centre has prepared a series of interesting events for you. Guided walks around Bratislava. Experience at least one real date with the city and you will never look at Bratislava with the same eyes again – you will like it better!

In a year-long cycle of thematic walks you will get to know many interesting stories and unknown corners of Bratislava, important personalities and monuments, as well as events that shaped Bratislava.

You can discover the capital city from new perspectives in the company of guides and tour guides.

1. Beer and Wine in Pressburg

For centuries, Bratislava was a city of wine. Wine was a lucrative commodity, and its sale was governed by strict rules. This walk will follow in the footsteps of long-gone breweries, taverns, and wine bars. We’ll recount the history of Prešporok’s favorite wine bars and producers, and learn about the company that made sparkling wine for the imperial court and even exported it overseas. We’ll show you where the City Brewery once stood—it didn’t close due to a lack of customers, but because of bridge construction. Many of these places no longer exist today, but their stories remain alive as long as we talk about them.

Guided by: Katarína Blšták Čatlošová

2. Wise Women in Bratislava

They were laced into tight corsets, balanced on high heels, accompanied their husbands into exile, brought parcels to prison, sat in the “death seat” at car races, but above all, they educated themselves and succeeded even in places where women “didn’t belong.”

Teacher, astronomer, microbiologist, artist, doctor, historian, beekeeper, director, princess and queen, grower, race car driver, and more… Their shoes have clattered across Bratislava’s cobblestones from ancient times to the present day. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of women who were defined not by fame or beauty, but by wisdom and skill.

During the lecture, you’ll hear many stories, such as that of a queen who had to earn a living as a stenographer and museum clerk, an unknown race car driver who won races even before Eliška Junková, and the first Slovak woman to earn a doctorate at the Sorbonne.
