First major sightseeing site in my Bratislava adventure was the famous St Martin's Cathedral. It's the largest church in Bratislava on the edge of the Old Town, and within an earshot of Bratislava Castle. The cathedral inside was quite open compared to some other cathedrals which have several sections or anterooms. One section of the cathedral contains some valuable artefacts; in these rooms, photography is prohibited and an extensive network of monitored security cameras make sure people keep their cameras well away.

Another notable attraction at the cathedral was the stairs going down to the catacombs, where you can read the inscriptions of some of the clergymen who are buried underneath the cathedral.

As I exited the cathedral, I checked the time and realised that I probably didn't have a lot of time left to go into another attraction and enjoy it. Plus, I looked up and the weather looked like it was going to turn for the worst. So I thought it's best to just do the walking tour through the Old Town and start thinking about heading back at the same time. Oh, and find a Lidl on the way to pick up breakfast for the next day.


And good morrow to you too, fine Sir!


In the middle of the Old Town is the Roland Fountain (Rolandova fontána), which is a depiction of the king of Royal Hungary, Maximilian II.
