    The castle grounds are absolutely worth visiting, the rest of town not. Gorgeous setting, perfect for a walk.

    Must to see in Nitra
  • By Carlo M. Bajetta
    Well worth a visit. You can have a nice walk in the gardens in the summer. The nicest route is going all the way up on foot from the city centre, but there is also a (rather steep) path which starts near the Hockey / football stadium, where you can find many parking slots.

    Occasional dancing event, was very nice. Beautiful environment, great atmosphere.

    If you’re on a weekend city break to Bratislava, it is definitely worth to quickly visit Nitra as well. It’s a quaint, cute little town with lots of cafes and bookstores
