The Primate's Palace stands on Primaciálne námestie in Bratislava, Slovakia, in the Bratislava Region. It is also known by its Slovak name, Primaciálny palác. Its address is Primaciálne námestie 1, 811 01 Bratislava.
The palace is a neoclassical building dating from 1781. Its history is closely tied to the city's past, most notably as the place where the Treaty of Pressburg was signed. Visitors interested in the period often come for that connection, and for the palace's architecture itself.

Visiting the palace
The building still has an active civic role: it serves as the seat of Bratislava's mayor. That gives a visit a working, present-day character alongside its historic interiors. Because it is an official building, it is worth checking access arrangements before you go. For questions, the palace can be reached by phone at +421 2 5935 6111.
The palace sits in the old town, so it pairs naturally with a walk through the surrounding streets and squares. If you are planning a day in Bratislava, it makes a compact and rewarding stop within that wider exploration.
