A visit to Bratislava is like stepping into a cozy Christmas tale. Start at Stará Tržnica, the historic Old Market Hall, built in 1910. Once a traditional marketplace, it’s now a hub for seasonal events like the Christmas market and the popular “Street Food” festival. Here, locals gather to browse a variety of regional products, from fresh produce to unique handicrafts.
Next, wander over to Hlavné Namestie, the bustling main square in the Old Town. At Christmas, the square hosts a festive Christmas tree and dozens of stalls selling handmade crafts, sweets, and traditional toys.
