Although there is always a reason to visit Bratislava, the city shines brightest in Christmas season and is ideal for spending New Year’s Eve there. The boutique capital of Slovakia will welcome you with its exciting vibe and make sure you will never forget this New Year’s Eve. From microbreweries and upscale cocktail bars to Silvester run, Bratislava offers a range of events and activities around the new year.
With its compact center and calm rhythm, it is perfect even for relaxation and reconnection with yourself. Spots with amazing views can be perfect for that, so visit UFO, Old Town Hall or Castle’s Crown Tower and see for yourself. You can spend a Luxurious evening where you can mix your own cocktails at the UFO tower and enjoy the New Year’s fireworks from a height of 95 meters.
You can also let the enchanting old town seduce you with its delightful offer or you can feel the genuine experience at the Christmas market. Opt for a culinary experience and pamper your taste buds in one of Bratislava’s restaurants.
With its two opera stages in the center, you can enjoy the classical music concerts, or you can enjoy the performances of public events in the Old Town. The celebrations take over the whole city and this is the reason why Bratislava is well worth a visit in the New Year holiday season. You can enjoy at the concert in the Slovak National Theatre. Pamper your heart with Christmas songs, opera arias and Slovak and world carols are performed by outstanding Slovak soloists, such as Edita Gruberová – soprano, Pavol Bršlík – tenor, Richard Šveda – baritone, Bratislava Boys Choir, Slovak Philharmonic Choir and Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Valentovič.
The fireworks over Bratislava castle and their reflection in the Danube is a view that is a cherry on the top of the year that passed. If you catch that special moment, don’t forget to make a wish and kiss someone you love. That for sure is a ticket for a successful entry in the new year.
