The presidential palace and Primate’s palace with its magnificent windows are within walking distance. You’ll also enjoy wonderful cuisines from some of the finest restaurants in Bratislava.

Bratislava has gained a huge reputation as a party city over the years, and for a full week, you won’t ever get bored, as there is always a party going on. Announcements will be made on lodging details for The Festival at Bratislava in a few weeks, but without mincing words, Bratislava will be the gaming festival of the year. (Paf, 2021)
Future Plans for The Festival
Banco Casino has made arrangements to ensure that every participant will be safe. If you’re coming as a visitor, to play or to come have fun, you’re covered. Every ticket that will be purchased is guaranteed for the next Festival if you cannot make it to Bratislava.
There were supposed to be two stops for The Festival this year, but the stop at Tallinn has been postponed to 2022. Further information will be given soon.
