Review:
In medieval times, the town of Bratislava was surrounded by heavily fortified walls, which had only four gates through which people could enter and exit. Michael's Gate, the smallest of the four, is the only city gate that remains and has been preserved since its construction in 1300. Visitors can head to the top of the tower and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding old town. The Museum of Arms is currently housed in the tower; there, visitors can also learn about Bratislava’s fortifications in detail, from construction to the destruction in the 18th century. Under the gate, there are a number of restaurants and luxury shops, such as Swarovski and Christian Dior.
