About this audio guide
This guide to the UFO Observation Deck in Bratislava is about what you can and cannot see from the saucer above Most SNP. It looks down on St Martin's Cathedral, where Habsburg-era rulers of Hungary were crowned, and on Podhradie, the narrow town under the castle where the city's Jews lived for centuries. It follows the communist planners of the nineteen sixties and the bridge they wanted. Listen from the deck's side facing the Old Town.
