UFO

UFO is a floating restaurant and observation complex positioned about 85 meters above ground on a bridge pillar, featuring a circular dining area. The space offers unobstructed views across the entire city and down to the Danube River below.

The structure opened in 2005 as an architectural addition to the SNP Bridge, contrasting with its brutalist form. Since then it has become a defining element of Bratislava's skyline.

The UFO name comes directly from the building's distinctive shape, which catches the eye from many angles around the city. This bold design has become a symbol that visitors recognize immediately.

Access is by elevator inside the bridge pillar, and booking ahead is recommended especially during peak times and weekends. The location is easy to find from above, but allow time for the elevator ride.

The restaurant holds membership in the World Federation of Great Towers, a recognition that places it among globally known observation complexes. This membership connects it to other observation locations with similar status worldwide.
