This weekend will mark the eighth time that Bratislava will be hosting the "Bratislava for All" open house event. In the past, this event used to be connected to the day of St. George, when citizens could vote for their representatives and judges, but today it is just a fun weekend to walk through many of the town's museums free of charge.
In fact, in addition to museums, free events will be organized for the public. Below are a few interesting events.
