Primate's Square
Primate's Square is an open public space located in the center of Bratislava's Old Town. It serves as a pedestrian link between SNP Square and the Main Square, making it a common transit point for those exploring the historic district on foot.

The square is situated within the city center's pedestrian zone. If you are already in the downtown area, it is accessible via a short walk. From the main transport hubs of the city center, it typically takes less than 10 minutes to reach on foot.
