    Something different
    Something different. Had to queue for around 40 minutes to get in. €7.40 per person allows you entry and then into a second queue for the lift which holds 8 people at a time. Windy and cold up there. Would suggest you go on a clear day to see the stunning views in all directions

    UFO Observation Deck
    Purely because of the view it’s worth paying the €7 to get to the top. Prices were very high in the restaurant and as we didn’t eat (only had a hot drink - again very expensive) I got the impression the staff wanted us to leave. Men, make sure you go to the toilet just for the experience of looking out over the town whilst using the urinals, surreal...

    Stunning views
    Stunning views, we went at 1615 with sunset just after 1700, ordered a drink in the bar and watched the sun go down. It is a tourist trap with expensive drinks but you don't have to have a drink if you are only going to the observation deck. Cost was €8 each and was not that busy. If pre booking a meal at the restaurant no fee is required to access the observation deck.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Scammers
Sep 2023 • Friends
Was here on a work trip. Came as a large group. One person in our group paid for all drinks and left. When me and 5 other left later they said we had not paid. Got scammed for 60 €. Not recommended!

Not great
Sep 2023 • Couples
Lovely views from the observation deck, and the scenery of the bar was nice.

However it was €12 entry each on a Monday (fine but not well advertised), the drinks were expensive vs all the bars in the old town and we went onto the observation deck and then was told we couldn’t be here as we needed to pay for our drinks. Like where would we have gone? Jumped!?

Overall ok, but a bit of a tourist trap, if I had my time in Bratislava again I’d avoid.

Went up with eldest daughter to watch the sunset and it was really nice. Lift up a little weird at an angle and same with steps from the restaurant to viewing platform.

UFO Observation Deck, Bratislava in June
Jun 2023 • Couples
Dont use google maps if walking here, it directed me to go the opposite direction to join the road where the cars cross! (No I didn't have travel by car option setting, it was walking directions!) Apple maps came to the rescue and it was an simple walk from the old town. Went during sunset on a clear day and the views were great , we stayed for an hour watching the changing colour of the sky. Watch out for the insects flying around.

The views are good but not much to do when you are at the top
Jul 2023 • Family
It is ok, don’t like the staged pricing if you go in the morning it’s cheaper. You go up in a lift to e restaurant and bar and then further up some steps to the viewing tower. The views are good.

The bar was ok but £8 for a bottle of Evian is ludicrous.

My teenage son enjoyed the experience

I bought a ticket for both a day and a night visit.
The view over Bratislava is fantastic.
I originally went in the day and then returned at sunset.
