This fountain was designed in 1888 by Bratislava-born V. Tilgner (who also created the putti on the adjacent Opera House). It depicts figures from ancient mythology: an eagle carries the young Ganymede to the top of Mount Olympus, on the order of the Goddess Dia, so that he can serve the Gods. On the upper part of the middle basin there are sculptures of aquatic creatures and, lower down, the central column is surrounded by figures of children holding four types of fish from the River Danube – carp, catfish, sander and pike. From the fishes’ mouths water cascades into the basin. The figures on the fountain were cast by the firm A.M. Beschorner from Budapest

Top Bratislava Hotel Reviews

LOFT Hotel Bratislava

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean, modern, and stylish. I am very picky on these points and I would class this as one of the top hotels. I’ve stayed in during my many travels. The reasons are the rooms are so, so comfortable. Everything is spotless and up-to-date and spacious and good looking. Honestly, you won’t want to leave the room. And then on top of that, there is a very lively full service bar downstairs full of people at all hours. There are also restaurants. If I come to Bratislava again, I will absolutely stay here. The only non-ideal thing is it’s not in the dead middle of old town, but it really doesn’t matter. You can just walk there in five minutes."
