Post-Communist Bratislava Tour

Explore a vast concrete housing estate, the Soviet monument Slavín, post-industrial developments, the Iron Curtain border zone and loads of communist-era architecture. The tour brings alive the fascinating story of Bratislava in the turbulent 20th century.

What can you expect? Cool drive and quirky stops to see and understand:

- the first prefabricated apartment block in Slovakia as well as the largest socialist housing project, Petržalka
- communist-era architecture (inverted pyramid of Slovak Radio, rocket-shape TV tower Kamzík, Freedom Square)
- political objects: Soviet memorial Slavín, diplomatic 1970’s hotel, 1980’s parliament, villas of former communist leaders
- controversial ufo-like SNP bridge, causing destruction of the Jewish district
- former Iron Curtain area, border between communist Czechoslovakia and Austria

Please note that in some cases (winter conditions, car repairs etc.) we can not guarantee a classic Škoda car. In this case we go with a regular modern vehicle - car or van. No worries, we will communicate this with you before the tour :)

Note: if you are a group of 4-6 people and you wish to go by two old Škoda cars instead of a modern minivan, please book the tour as two separate bookings, i.e. e.g. by 5 people as a tour number 1 for 3 people and tour number 2 for 2 people. By a single booking for 4-7 people we go by a regular modern minivan.
