Man At Work

Čumil Statue

The hard working man poking out of a manhole is the most photographed sculpture in the city. He’s been watching the junction of Panská, Laurinská, and Rybárská streets since 1997. It is said that touching the head of Čumil brings luck.

Unforgotten Gate

Laurinc Gate

The Laurinc gate was built in the 13th century and served as one of the four tower gates that were part of the city’s fortification. Nowadays, there is a portcullis hanging over Laurinská street that symbolises the former medieval gate.

UFO Tower

SNP Bridge

Also called UFO, the bridge of the Slovak National Uprising rises up to 95 metres above the Danube river and offers great views of the city and state borders on the south. The restaurant on top is quite pricey compared to others but its setting is worth a short stop.
