Overview

Insightful, off the beaten track journey in a legendary 1970-1990’s Czechoslovak Škoda car (or a modern van by 4+ guests) with our local guide to the most intriguing spots of the Cold War era Bratislava.

Explore a vast concrete housing estate, the Soviet monument Slavín, post-industrial developments, the Iron Curtain border zone and loads of communist-era architecture. The tour brings alive the fascinating storey of Bratislava in the turbulent 20th century.

What can you expect? Cool drive and quirky stops to see and understand:

  • the first prefabricated apartment block in Slovakia as well as the largest socialist council estate, Petržalka
  • communist-era architecture (inverted pyramid of Slovak Radio, rocket-shape TV tower Kamzík, Freedom Square)
  • political objects: Soviet memorial Slavín, diplomatic 1970’s hotel, 1980’s parliament, villas of former communist leaders
  • controversial ufo-like SNP bridge, causing destruction of the Jewish district
    former Iron Curtain area
