Choir Tours to Bratislava, Slovakia | Concert Tours from Rayburn Tours

Our favourite venue:
Jesuit Church

This large church stands in the centre of the city on the Franciscan Square, The stunning interior includes a beautiful rococo pulpit by Ľudovít Gode, a pupil of sculptor Georg Rafael Donner, and altar paintings by Franz Xaver Palko. Couple the beautiful interior with the great acoustics and you have the perfect venue for a sacred choral performance.

Church of the Holy Family, Petrzalka

A warm welcome from an appreciative audience greets choirs at this church, situated among a district of former communist buildings. This remarkable venue has been much enjoyed by our previous groups.

Church of the Transformation, Pezinok

As well as forming part of an enjoyable day out, Pezinok offers an excellent venue with helpful staff and appreciative audiences.

Franciscan Church, Bratislava

Often considered a highlight of a Slovak tour, this impressive central venue is reputedly Bratislava’s oldest church dating back to 1297.

Outside Bratislava

In addition to concerts inside the city, concerts are possible in the attractive Piarist Church in the town of Nitra and the Eunica former Protestant Church in Modra.

Dine on the Danube

Often a popular way to celebrate the last night of a successful concert tour, a dinner cruise on the Danube is a fine way to see the city lit up at night. You can choose from a selection of traditional Slovak dishes and there’s always a bar on hand to help wash everything down.

Potter about in Modra

Distinctive Majolica style ceramics have been produced in Modra since the nineteenth century and it remains a centre of production today. The quality of the product is excellent and it offers tremendous value for money. While you’re in town, try the local wine. Better still, if you’re there in September, you might enjoy burciak, a fermented grape juice which might be an acquired taste, as it packs quite a punch!

Do lunch!

Trying traditional Slovak cuisine is a treat. Start with strong garlic soup (perhaps not just before a concert!) and follow it with bryndzové halušky, considered the national dish – potato dumplings in a strong sheep’s cheese sauce. For perhaps an even more authentic experience, you can dine in the restaurant overlooking the whole city from the top of the suspension bridge.

The City Hotel Bratislava

Well run and comfortable, this suburban hotel offers good value for money. All rooms have private facilities, TV, radio and telephone. There are two restaurants and a bar, as well as a conference hall that is available for rehearsals.
