Residents and visitors of Bratislava can once again enjoy a seaside atmosphere on the Petržalka bank of the Danube River. The city beach, Tyršák, on the Tyršovo Nábrežie embankment is opening for those looking for active recreation, culture, or the chance to just lounge on the beach on Friday, May 14. Tyršák will also offer several novelties this year.

“These include the enlarged children’s sand zone, to which a new playground will be added,” said Zuzana Ježeková on behalf of the organisers, as cited by the TASR newswire. “The area of greenery will also be enlarged and the whole site will be surrounded by a hedge.”
