hviezdoslavovo namestie

I recommend you to start your walk through the old town here ... go along the Danube river and then turn to downtown ... make sure you stop in some sweets shops (cukraren) on your way and indulge yourselves in Slovak pies. They are great and not not sugar loaded.

Nice part of our history with old theater, statue of Hviezdoslav and with many restaurants, bars and nice places.

Lively square in very central location. Walk around, feel the history or visit some of restaurants or pubs surrounding this place.

very nice square with a long pedestrian - only zone.. you can find pubs, restaurants, cafes.. but you can also ice skate :)

There is not much more to do at this square than to stroll around but doing that (preferably in "slow mode") you will have the opportunity to see many old but very well treated, historical buildings. If you like to relax by walking and knowing new places do not miss this one.

The people live this nice square created in 18th century behind the South city wall. Under the pretty alley is very pleasant walking. Sometimes, there is handcraft market.

Direct contact to other Bratislava beauties. Pleasant atmosphere.Old Opera House at the beginning of the square.But too many embassies on one place.

The most fashionable restaurants, as well as an indie movie cinema, university of fine arts an a huge statue of an important Slovak poet (named P.O. Hviezdoslav) , all of them located at the Hviezdoslavovo namestie, one of the places you can find representatives of the hipster movement. Even most of the restaurants are overpriced, once having such lucrative address, you still can find places with a fair deal. Such as the Verne Cafe, situated in the building of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design.

Best place to bring back walking to your daily routine and keep up your health too. beautiful place with statues, water bodies and cafes with places for children to play too. Relax on the seats and forget the time passing by. Soon it is evening and keep watching people going by. I was in Bratislava in July- August 2004

This is a delightful pedestrianised area in the old town. There are several impressive statues, water features and cafes along with children's play areas. It is tree lined which provides shade in the summer and leaves all over the place in Autumn! There are many seats to relax on and people watch. An added bonus is the morning and afternoon free walking tours.

This is a pedestrianised area in the old town which is delightful. There are impressive statues water features and numerous restaurants along with play areas for children. It is tree lined which provides shade and along its length are seats for people to relax and enjoy a very pleasant area well worth a visit if only to rest for a while.

I did not find anything special about the square.by the way a free tour starts from there everyday at 11:00 a.m. and 15:00 pm (not sure exactly)

Nice Statue in a nice area .. best thing about it is every day at 11am and 4pm there is a free walking tour !! watch out for the guide with the red banner

i assumed this was the main square but its not- lots of bars, restaurants and a lovely little market situatied on here. leads you onto the winding streets o told old town

Lovely pedestrian avenue flanked by shops on one side and the american embassy on the other side, its full of interesting statues and an ornamental fountain, and its a great place for a peaceful walk or to sit down and people watch with an ice cream or crepe from one of the many retailers there.A really delightful way to kill an hour or two.
