The museum contained interesting exhibits charting the history of the city. I particularly liked the the photographs taken around 1900 - 1930 from which you can see that some parts of the old town look pretty much the same while other parts of the city have changed quite a bit. There are some everyday items that have been saved from... More

As other reviews have mentioned, this museum houses a surprising collection of artefacts and is definitely worth a visit. If you only have time for one museum, I'd take a few hours to explore the history of the city here.

Entering this museum many probably will have fairly low expectations, if for no other reason than the fact that the town hall building appears small from the outside. Once in, this may appear to be confirmed by the first exhibits, which are to me fairly uninteresting bits of Bratislava collected by local fans of the antique. But as you go... More

We really just bobbed in here because it was starting to drizzle and the entrance fee was cheap. But what a wonderful surprise! The Old Town Hall is full of fascinating history and interesting artefacts. The view from the top of the tower is quite the best in Bratislava. We recomend everyone to make a special visit here and then... More

The Old Town Hall, which forms one side of the Main Square, is a classic old building with a clock tower. It proudly displays a cannonball imbedded in the front wall from Napoleon's army, but also contains a quite good museum, with displays of the town, the history of the building itself, and plenty of artifacts from Bratislava. The old... More

It is worth the trip up the tower. There is a great view. The museum in the old tower hall is well curated and has some wonderful pieces.

This is a beautiful building. The roof is quite interesting, as well as the doors. It's nice to have a local guide to give historical information.
