The view is the city's most complete and the fee comes off a restaurant bill; for a free alternative, the castle and its ramparts serve well by day.

A flying saucer on top of a bridge: Nový Most (the New Bridge, officially the Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising) opened in 1972 as the longest single-pylon cable-stayed bridge with no supports in the river — and on its leaning pylon at ninety-five metres sits a disc like a flying saucer holding a viewing deck and restaurant. The lift rises in forty-five seconds, and from the open terrace all Bratislava appears: the castle, the old town, the Danube and the vast communist-era Petržalka estates on the far bank — central Europe's largest concentration of prefabricated housing — with Austria and Hungary visible on clear days. The bridge itself carries a painful story: it was built in the 1970s over the demolished old Jewish quarter of Podhradie and its great synagogue, torn down to make way — something Slovaks recall with bitterness despite the structure's fame.
