Shopping

Shopping in Old Town
The beautiful streets of historical Old Town Bratislava are lined mostly with shops offering the finest luxury merchandise, and priced accordingly. An adjacent section of central Bratislava, focused around Obchodna ulica, offers a very different mix of shops, mostly inexpensive.
Lomography – Mikulášška street
Artforum – bookshop, along on Panenska street, you´ll see it on the corner

Street markets in Bratislava
Mostly outside of Old Town but still easily reachable, Bratislava's street markets are real gems if the season is right.

Shopping malls and shopping centres
There are at present four shopping centres in Bratislava, all of which designed in the style of shopping malls that have sprung up around the world in recent decades. Their specific style and attractions differ slightly, but all will feel familiar. Each has a cinema, numerous cafes and restaurants (some of which are exceptionally good), a food court, a grocery supermarket and approximately 50 to 100 conventional services and shops, most of which specialise in clothing. In addition, each of the four offers certain special features:

Eurovea - along the river Danube (the latest one)
