The 'UFO'

The 'UFO'
Previously published photo showing a night view from this iconic bridge. Towering above Bratislava on the SNP Bridge, the UFO tower’s flying-saucer design has symbolised modern Slovakia since 1972. Its circular dome at 95 meters hosts a café and an observation deck offering views up to 100 km—on clear evenings, Austria and Hungary are visible. An elevator whisks visitors to the top in 45 seconds; an emergency staircase inside the pylon boasts 430 steps. Originally built for both function and flair, the UFO’s distinctive form was practical for bridge assembly—not planned as a “spaceship”, but the nickname quickly stuck. Today, the UFO glows over the city at night, linking the Danube with Bratislava’s skyline and futuristic spirit.

John FitzGerald, Annemarie, Gudrun, Jean-louis Thiaudiere and 3 other people have particularly liked this photo

Lol, what a memory 2 bottles of Zlatý Bažant in Štúrovo. A boat trip I guess?

A well chosen viewpoint looking up at the UFO in its frame of trees! The architecture is a classic of the time.
