“Amazing spot for spending time outside and enjoying some nature. Very nice for slow walks, especially in warm weather, you can tan, swim, eat and just relax. There are ducks and swans that walk freely among people. Many benches and places to sit, cafes and restaurants, and VIVO mall very close to the lake. I especially enjoy evening walks around the lake, when you can see the sunset and a peaceful atmosphere.”
📍KeP’s Сaffetteria
“You can find it in different districts of Bratislava. Good and cheap coffee, fresh croissants. Some of them are often busy, but that's a good sign.”

“I went there a lot when I was young, since I grew up close to it, so it's a very nostalgic and familiar place for me. Sitting by the lake on a warm summer evening with your friends is really fun. There are also a lot of places nearby the lake to get ice cream, drinks, or to sit down for a meal.”

“My favourite place is Hviezdoslav square. It has the most ice cream stalls, with "Koun" at the top of the list, followed by "Luculus" and then "Arthur" .. But it's not only because of the ice cream haha. I always think of the symbolic strength it carries, as it's tied to the Candle Demonstration (1988) under the veil of the Iron Curtain🕊️"
