Devin, Slovakia


Devín is a borough of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, located in the Bratislava IV district. Originally a separate village at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers, Devín maintained its rural character and today, it is one of the smallest boroughs of Bratislava by population.

It is an important archaeological site, featuring the ruins of the famous Devin Castle. Geographically, Devín lies on the foothills of Devinska Kobyla next to the Devin Gate, a narrow stretch on the river Danube, which was viewed as the western gateway to the Kingdom of Hungary. It lies near the border between Slovakia and Austria which runs down the middle of the Morava and Danube rivers, and which previously formed part of the Iron Curtain between the Eastern and the Western Bloc. The word Devín stems from the Slovak word deva, which signifies "a girl". Good bus connections with the center of Bratislava are a part of the municipal public transportation system. Most of the people commute to work elsewhere in Bratislava.

How to get there:
  • By bus: City buses 28 and 29 run from the Novy Most bridge (near Old Town, on the bank opposite the “flying saucer” tower), at least twice per hour year round. The terminus of Bus 29 is just below the castle, but Bus 28 continues beyond the village.
