The old town hall is an interesting place to visit.
A climb up to the top of the tower is a must do.
When you get there, there are beautiful views over the old city.

Massive museum that provides a detailed account of the building and city's history. You can also climb the tower to get good views of the Old Town and surrounding area.

Its a nice building with a lovely green tiled and patterned roof and with a clock / bell tower you can climb for 3 euro. There is a museum as well.
We didn't climb the tower as the views from the castle are just as good and free.
I didn't find this a must do while I was in Prague.

If you climb the clock tower, you can learn a bit about the history of Bratislava with some exhibitions inside. The view at the top speaks itself. It is a must visit attraction on a sunny day.
There is also a museum attached to the clock tower which we didn’t pay for but it looked interesting. I will probably try it out if I return to Bratislava.

Old Town was fantastic and fun. So many good restaurants and beautiful buildings. The site of the Christmas Market and Christmas Tree. We thoroughly enjoyed Old Town and wish we had a few more days to repeat some of our favorite places to eat and drink.

Great views of the square and city from the top of the Old City Hall Tower. 3 euros to climb the tower (1.5 for seniors). Note the cannon ball embedded in the side of the hall, a remnant of Napoleon’s failed siege of Bratislava.

This old building is quite nice. It’s a museum inside and you can walk to the top of the clock tower and look over the whole town. It takes a little time unless you are in great shape and it was hot. But well worth the hike up the stairs. A nice spot.

Just like the other buildings in the old town Bratislava, this is a beautiful one. However, the town hall has its perk with Napoleon’s cannon ball.

Beautiful town hall is located in the main square of the city, and is the oldest town hall in the country . You can go to the top of the tower for views of Bratislava.

The old town hall offers quite many things to see. Climbing up the tower offers a great view of the old city as well as visiting the museum

Strange question but I noticed the spiral stairs to climb the tower are quite narrow - are there separate stairs to come down or do people have to squeeze past each other?
how much is the viewing tower?thanks

I don't recall exactly, but it wasn't very much. I think it was about $10USD for two adults.

We visited Bratislava last September, whilst we were on a river cruise, we could not visit the castle as there was a European conference taking place, but there was some very interesting lacemaking going on in the central courtyard.
The costumes of the people making the lace were beautiful and I took quite a few pictures there, my favourite pictures were of Hanka and Eliska, if they would like to have a copy I would be happy to send them on.
We also saw some craft stalls and some folk dancing going on, which was really interesting and entertaining, this was on the way back down to the river to get back on board the river cruise ship. The date we were there was the 3rd September 2016, Is this an annual event or was this just a special one off event?
