Shop: Bratislava shopping areas & recommendations

Bratislava's shopping scene tends to be divided between independent little shops in the city centre and large department shops on the outskirts of town. The shops in the centre mainly sell designer clothing, jewellery, books and souvenirs, between which are dotted charming restaurants, pubs and bars. The main shopping street here is called Obchodna. Heading slightly more out of town (and we can pre-arrange transfers for you if needed) you'll find the Eurovea Gallery, Aupark and Avion shopping centres, all of which have a huge range of great shops. The Avion centre is also surrounded by several large department stores. No matter what you're looking for, either the city centre or one of the shopping centres is likely to stock it, and both are great for whiling away a few hours on a Saturday afternoon during your stay.

Stay: Choosing your Bratislava accommodation

It's not a big city which means the best hotels can be fairly competitive, so you're better off booking early. When thinking about your hen do accommodation in Bratislava it's important to take a few things into account - first of all the location as you'll need to decide whether you want to be right in the town centre or slightly outside. You should also take into account any specific hotel features you'll need, for example parking. You can rest assured they're all handpicked by us for their quality, value and comfort.

Party: Where to head after dark

Bratislava has a range of decent venues for a great night out with the girls. There are two main party areas - the Old Town and Mlynska Dolina, the latter being slightly outside the city centre. Around the Old Town you'll find basement clubs, classy plazas and Cuban-themed bars as well as late-night dance floors that'll keep you boogying into the early hours on your Bratislava hen party! Alternatively head to Mlynska Dolina, which tends to be full of students (the benefit here being that prices are often low) and hosts regular themed party nights, with drinks specials and a vivacious atmosphere. Make sure you add some pre-planned entertainment into your evening to ensure it's extra special, how about taking the girls for a roulette-spinning casino experience or a guided bar crawl around Bratislava's best venues? Top either off with guestlist nightclubbing at one of the city's best nightclubs and the girls will love it! Check out all of our Bratislava hen night ideas.
