Route

We joined a morning walking tour around the city, led by our knowledgeable guide Patrick. We visited the large cathedral, dedicated to Martin of Tours, the 4th Century Saint.

Nearby is a memorial that stands on the site of a former Synagogue, which has engraved in it the word “Remember” in both Slovak (“Pamätaj”) and Hebrew (“זכור”).

The tour took us up the hill by the castle, which gave us a good view of the city and Danube River, before we walked back into the city centre. Numerous beautiful churches were visited in the afternoon.

Thank you to Patrick for being our guide and thank you to Claire and Graeme for joining the pilgrimage for a fifth consecutive day.
