Bunch of old graves, some cool statuary. And a nice view of the city. Take the bus up, or a cab. It's a bit of an uphill otherwise.

Walking up stairs to the monument is amazing!! The structures are perfectly placed to show respect, thanks and empathy. As a lover of all things from WWII, this was a special place that did not loose its beauty in the fog. Would go there again...

Slavin memorial/cemetery is one of the few interesting things to see in Bratislava. On top of a hill, it's a very quiet spot about twenty-five minutes walking from the centre and a bit less from the Central station.

Once you get there, you will see a big monument dedicated to the soviet soldiers who eliberated Bratislava in the 2nd World War (it's even... More

One of the things you must see when in Bratislava, if not only for the amazing view of the whole city from Slavin. It is a solemn place, very good if you want to be alone with your thoughts.

The walk up is murder int he heat, but you get to wander through a very well-to-do area and gawp at the houses where foreign ambassadors live. The monument itself it lovely, very fitting and peaceful. It well kempt and has a beautiful view over the city. Definitely recommend.
