The UFO Observation Deck is accessible via a quick elevator ride, which is included in the entry fee. It’s worth visiting on a clear day to fully appreciate the vast views of the city and surrounding regions. The deck can get busy during peak tourist seasons, so try visiting early in the morning or later in the evening for a more relaxed experience. For those who enjoy photography, sunset or twilight offers some stunning lighting for capturing the city from above. The restaurant at the top is a great place to relax, but it’s a bit pricey, so be prepared for higher costs.

The UFO Observation Deck is located on top of the Nový Most (New Bridge), which spans the Danube River. It’s easily accessible from Bratislava’s Old Town by walking or taking a short tram or bus ride. The closest public transport stop is at the Most SNP (New Bridge), which is a few minutes' walk from the bridge entrance. If you’re coming from the city center, it’s about a 10-15 minute walk across the bridge. Once you reach the bridge, the entrance to the UFO Observation Deck is clearly marked, and the elevator takes you directly to the top.

The UFO Observation Deck can be visited year-round, but the best time depends on what you want to experience. During spring and autumn, the weather is pleasant, and you can enjoy clear views without the summer crowds. Summer brings warmer weather and long days, making it a great time to visit during daylight hours. Winter, while colder, offers a quieter experience, and the view of the city with its Christmas lights can be magical. For the best photos, visit early in the morning or at sunset, when the lighting is ideal for capturing breathtaking views.

After taking in the view from the UFO Observation Deck, visitors can explore the nearby attractions in Bratislava. A short walk across the Nový Most brings you to Bratislava Castle, which offers its own stunning views of the city. For a more leisurely experience, take a stroll along the Danube Promenade or visit the Old Town, where you can enjoy historic buildings and charming cafés. For a change of scenery, consider taking a boat cruise along the Danube River or visiting Devin Castle, just a short drive from the city.
