PLEASE NOTE: I have not yet had time to add descriptions to each place, but am hoping to do so in the near future :) If there's any you'd like me to prioritize, please message me on TikTok or Instagram!
I traveled into Bratislava by train, which I recommend due to the train station's convenient location.
As always, I highly recommend dropping your bags off at your accommodation before doing the majority of sightseeing, just to make sure you do not cause any back-aches. If you aren't spending the night in Bratislava, there is a staffed left luggage office at the station. Alternatively, you can use an online luggage storage service, like Bounce, to stow your items for the day.
Now that you have dropped off your luggage, it's time to begin exploring!
Using a combination of public transport and walking, you'll be able to see:

Medieval City Walls
@sarahsolotravels
I loved taking a walk along the medieval walls, being able to compare the history of Bratislava to the current city.

Bratislava Castle
@sarahsolotravels
I didn't go inside the castle, but I have heard great things about it. It's important to note that the castle is up a steep hill, so keep that in mind. If you don't pay for admission, you can still see some of the castle grounds.

Food!
Lidl
@sarahsolotravels
My favorite supermarket in Europe, and the best place to find local snacks and pastries at reliable prices. Lots of locations in many cities.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sarah J.
I am a solo female traveler who likes to explore on a moderate budget; I think it's important to recognize that some opportunities when travelling will never arise again, and it's worth shelling out for them! I prefer to travel very fast-paced, and my guides will reflect that. In order to accomplish this, I have done lots of research about every place I have visited to ensure I use my time wisely. I have only travelled around Europe so far, but I am hoping to expand my horizons in the coming years :)
