Bratislava Castle sits on a hill 85 meters above the Danube and houses the Slovak National Museum's Museum of History. Inside are the History of Slovakia exhibition, the castle chapel, a treasury and the 13th-century Crown Tower, the oldest standing part of the castle, which looks out over Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. Outside, the castle grounds and a Baroque garden stay open long after the museum closes.
