Welcome to Bratislava! I’m Sebastian, and this is WalkStory — a collection of personal stories and historical accounts that I’ve gathered over years of guiding in this city. This isn't your typical history tour.
🌟 We are about to walk through a century of extremes that completely reshaped this city, from the elegant era of old cafés to the ambitious concrete dreams of the socialist regime. But we won't stop in the past. This journey follows the path of our modern identity, leading all the way to the events that still resonate in our streets today.
I’ve put these stories into these smartphone audio tours so I can guide you whenever you’re ready. As we walk, my digital narrator will share tales based on real events and local legends at hidden corners and iconic viewpoints. We’ll uncover the messages that ignited revolutions, meet the man who encoded hope, and stand on the squares where history was written — from the fall of communism to the moments that shook our nation in 2018.
