WWII Bunkers of Bratislava Exploration by E-Bike

Partake in an unforgettable journey in Bratislava, Slovakia, with our guided biking tour. Immerse yourself in the city's rich history as you cycle through scenic routes before exploring the iconic Iron Curtain border and its bunkers.

Your thrilling adventure kicks off at the port of Bratislava, a glorious gateway to Slovakia's old-world charm and modern allure. With your experienced, certified guide, you step into Slovakia's intriguing past. A short, refreshing walk brings you to the e-bike storage spot to gear up for an electrifying ride around this captivating city.

Bike alongside the enchanting Danube River under the guidance of a safety-first-oriented guide who's as entertaining as he or she is informative. Steer your e-bike towards the historic Iron Curtain border, home to colossal concrete bunkers raised between 1935 to 1938 as a defense line against Hitler's expanding realm in Germany.

Bratislava's Petrzalka district, once boasting 15 bunkers, now holds two fully restored structures, BS-4 and BS-8. Step into the museum within to explore an array of original bunker accessories, specialized weapon systems, fortress turrets, and vintage artifacts from the 1920s to 1930s. Delve deep into the bunker's four major historical stages, notably the intense Communist regime phase in the 1950s, when severe penalties were dealt to those attempting illegal border crossings.

In stark contrast to its troubled past, the formerly heavily-guarded border is now freely accessible, symbolizing the EU's freedom of movement and the progress made since the communist era.

Your tour package includes transportation, an English-speaking guide, safety briefing, e-bike, helmet, high-vis vest, and the museum entry fee.
