The castle contains a Museum of Bratislava History, and a baroque garden. There is also a restaurant open till after the actual castle tours into the night. The general precinct area immediately outside the castle, including the vantage points of the city are usually always open during the daytime, and is free to access.
Bratislava Castle is the main castle of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The massive rectangular building with four corner towers stands on an isolated rocky hill of the Little Carpathians, directly above the Danube river, in the middle of Bratislava. Because of its size and location, it has been a dominant feature of the city for centuries.
