Horský Park
About

Horský Park is one of Bratislava’s most treasured natural spaces, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Established in the late 19th century, the park was designed as an English-style landscape park, preserving its wild, forested character. It features a diverse range of trees, including yews, lindens, and ginkgo, creating a lush environment ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities. At its center stands Justi’s monument, a popular gathering spot with a scenic terrace. The park is also home to a historic lodge, which serves as a café and cultural venue, hosting events and exhibitions. Visitors can explore the Forest City Park Gallery, showcasing sculptural works by Slovak artists. Located near Slavín War Memorial, Horský Park is a favorite destination for joggers, families, and nature lovers seeking tranquility within Bratislava’s urban landscape.
