A Christmas atmosphere has been descending on Bratislava with Christmas markets in its Main, Františkánske and Hviezdoslavovo Squares opening on the evening of Friday, November 22.
This year, the Bratislava City Council has come up with a new vision for the city's Christmas markets: a high-quality, environmentally friendly, safe and visually attractive gastronomic event with an accompanying cultural programme. One completely new feature is the zero-waste concept, with only returnable glasses and bio-degradable plates on offer, said Bratislava Mayor Matúš Vallo, as cited by the TASR newswire.
Another new element this year is the arrangement of the stalls. While only commercial stalls will be located on Main Square, a stage for an accompanying cultural programme has been built on Františkánske Square.
