Did you know?

What is the disc on top of the bridge?

The UFO-shaped platform 85 m up holds a restaurant and observation deck. A lift reaches it in about 45 seconds, and it offers the widest panorama of the city.

What was demolished to build the bridge?

Completing it in 1972 required demolishing much of the old Jewish quarter, including the historic synagogue. It remains one of Bratislava's most criticised urban interventions.

What is the bridge's engineering feature?

It is a single-pylon cable-stayed bridge with no support in the river's main span — at the time of construction one of the longest of its kind in the world.
