Michael's Gate (Michalská brána)
Highlight • Monument
The elegant onion tower roof of Michaelertor is one of the landmarks of the city of Bratislava.
Of the originally four entrance gates of the city fortifications, only the northern Michalská Gate has been preserved. It was completed in the 14th century. It was named after the Gothic Church of St. Michael, which was located in front of the fortress and was demolished in the 16th century due to the incursions of Turkish troops. Since its creation, it has been expanded several times until it received its final appearance in the 18th century, shortly before almost the entire city fortification was demolished.
Due to its high onion-shaped roof, the gate tower is one of the landmarks of the Old Town. The balcony offers a panoramic view of the castle hill, the roofs and towers of the city, as well as the villa district in the hills.

Most SNP (Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising)
Highlight (Segment) • Bridge
A special attraction is the tower restaurant in UFO or ship form located at 80 meters height on the 84.6 meter high pylon of the bridge. The restaurant, opened in 1974, was formerly called Bystrica, but was closed in 2003 and reopened on 15 June 2005 under the name Ufo. An elevator in the left pillar (seen from the north) leads to the restaurant, which offers a good view of the city. Above the restaurant there is another vantage point 95 meters high. The right pillar has an emergency staircase with 430 steps. On June 16, 2013, the Ufo Vertical Sprint held its first flight of stairs, one of the Masters races in the Treppenlauf World Cup.
