Franz Xaver Messerschmidt

This cafe in the heart of Bratislava carries the name of the famous baroque sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt. Guests come here not only to enjoy a good cup of coffee, a hot chocolate or a tasty Bratislavské rožky (traditional Bratislava pastry rolls) but also to see examples of the work of F.X. Messerschmidt. Plus, part of the café is also the Museum of 17th of November, dedicated to an important point in Slovak history — the Velvet Revolution.

Cafes

Despite being a relatively small city, Bratislava is rich with cafes: from grand coffee houses to trendy student hang-outs. The best cafes are in the centre of town, especially around the Main Square. In the summer, many have outdoor tables, perfect for relaxing after exploring the Old Town.
