While the weather is still good-ish with warm evenings, we would like to suggest Slavín. You can look forward to great views over the capital, nice sunsets, a very special atmosphere, and not that many people. You can get there by public transportation from Hodžovo námestie with 207 and you get off at the Búdková stop, from where you’ll walk for a couple of minutes. Just remember, that Slavín is still a memorial for fallen soldiers. It’s important to be respectful while enjoying the special atmosphere of this place.
Horský Park is also a fantastic place to take your spouse or date for a nice and romantic walk. The great feeling of being in nature and calmness makes not just a great date spot but is also great for couples who need a break from busy city life.
There are only a few places that feel extremely romantic during every season, one of them is Dvořákovo nábrežie. Get a coffee, hot cocoa or tea and enjoy the walk. You can stroll from the SNP bridge towards Lafranconi and back, enjoying a relaxing time by the river and each others company without distractions, Dvořákovo nábrežie is the perfect fit for your next romantic evening. RIVERBANK Restaurant offers a wide array of dishes from seasonal local ingredients which will surely surprise your taste buds. Make sure to savor their signature drink. If you wish to surprise your beloved with something memorable, Sunday Brunch would be an excellent option too.
If you are a fan of great city views, a little bit of history and walking around, Bratislava castle will make for a great date spot. You can not only enjoy the great views for a few minutes but have a sit on a bench and have a nice, romantic and relaxed evening, that won’t break the bank. If you wish to have a drink or even a dinner, try a restaurant, with an outdoor terrace that has an amazing view over the major part of Bratislava.
The Bratislava botanical garden is a lovely place with a very pleasant and calm atmosphere and great energy. Imagine exploring new hidden treasure in the middle of the city, learning about new and interesting plants and having a little corner where you can steal a kiss or two.:) The garden is open daily from 9 to 6 pm (1.4 – 31.10) and feels different in each season. The ticket is 3 euros per person. Plus it makes for a perfect and super photogenic spot.
Danubiana makes for a great date spot if both of you enjoy art, spending time at the water, having a glass of wine or a good coffee. It is located around 15km from the city center and you can get there by car or by public transport ( bus number 90) The entrance fee for a whole day of art and the amazing atmosphere is 10 euro and the gallery is opened from 10:00 until 18:00. You can find out more about the Danubiana museum, current exhibitions, art shop and others at their website.
If you lived in Bratislava for some time, you might have heard about Lužné lesy. It is a beautiful piece of nature located on the Petržalka side of Danube. Lužné lesy offer beautiful little trails for simple, yet very romantic walks. If you want to avoid huge crowds and have a little bit of forest just to yourselves we suggest you give a try to Lužné lesy. We believe that you will fall in love with the calmness, quiet and beauty of this particular forest.
Old Town in Bratislava might be smaller than other capitals, but still offers a lot of romantic spots and little, hidden streets perfect for a kiss. You can connect your romantic walk around the old town with little stops for ice cream in Luculus, wine at Pinot or cafe and finish with a nice dinner in Soho. Bratislava’s city center offers a great variety of spots that call out for a romantic moment. Be it Kapitulská street with its lovely and peaceful atmosphere or Židovská street with a stop in the stunning restaurant – Viecha pod Hradom which offers great views over the city.
If you want to avoid the city center and wish to spend your time with your special one in a more chilled and relaxed setting, try Mark Twain bar connected with a walk in the Karlova bay (Karloveská zátoka). Mark Twain is a very popular bar among people who don’t need to have all sorts of fancy drinks but prefer a good pint and relax by the river. This whole part of the city is usually very peaceful and offers a nice walk either during the weekend or after work.
We believe you will find a perfect spot for your next date and that we inspired you. Remember, you don’t have to celebrate love and enjoy a special, romantic evening only on Valentine’s or anniversary. Every day can be a Valentine, with the right plans and right spot.:)
