About Bratislava Tourist Board

Bratislava as a Sustainable Destination

Can a city become a successful tourism destination while preserving its authenticity?

How can it provide meaningful experiences for visitors, support the local economy and, at the same time, develop in a way that benefits the people who live there?

We believe that tourism can create lasting value for the city, its communities and its visitors.

Bratislava has the potential to grow as a modern, responsible and sustainable destination—one that creates value from an economic, environmental, cultural, technological and social perspective.

The role of the Bratislava Tourist Board is to coordinate and support tourism development so that it:

• contributes to the quality of life in Bratislava,
• supports the city’s long-term prosperity,
• protects its cultural and natural assets,
• and strengthens Bratislava’s appeal at home and abroad.

Bratislava Tourist Board

Bratislava Tourist Board (BTB) is the official destination management organisation of Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic.

It represents a proven model of public-private cooperation, bringing together:

• the City of Bratislava,
• tourism businesses,
• public institutions,
• local communities,
• and other partners involved in the development of the destination.

Our role goes beyond promoting Bratislava

We coordinate and facilitate the development, management and promotion of Bratislava as a destination.

By working with relevant stakeholders across the public, private and community sectors, we aim to ensure that tourism supports the city’s long-term prosperity while providing high-quality and authentic experiences for visitors.

Our ambition is for tourism not only to minimise its negative impacts, but also to actively contribute to the development and improvement of Bratislava.

Our goal is to make Bratislava a better place to live in—and a more meaningful place to visit.

Our Three Mandates

1. Destination Management

We support the responsible development of Bratislava as a destination by protecting and enhancing its cultural, historical and natural assets.

2. Facilitation and Coordination

We connect and coordinate the key stakeholders involved in tourism development, including:

• local and national authorities,
