Magnificently rebuilt in Renaissance style, Bratislava Castle looks as though it has been transplanted from a children’s picture book. Inside is a history museum, though many chambers feel empty and underutilised. The castle’s oldest original feature is the 13th-century Crown Tower; climb it for bird’s-eye views. Another highlight is the late-baroque Assumption of the Virgin Mary (1762–3) painting by Anton Schmidt in the Music Hall. Without a ticket you can wander the manicured baroque gardens behind the castle.
