    It is a quick stop, and makes for a good photo
    It makes for a good photo stop, but otherwise I don't think you'd spend much time here. Access to the inside was closed. I found the angled in the attached photo made for a more interesting shot than the front entrance. But a lot depends on weather and sun position too.

    Very prominent and attractive
    We travelled some distance from the city in order to see the “Blue church” also known as “Modry Kostol” in Slovak. Blue colour has made the St. Elizabeth church very striking and significant attracting travellers to pay a visit. Blue grey roof and pastel sky blue and its lighter shades on walls have made it a very unique and eye-catching piece of architecture and a building that was outstanding from the rest. The art nouveau style in the church design was admirable.

    Simply beautiful
    One of the most attractive churches I have ever seen. Stunning architecture and the haunting blue colour both outside and inside. Was a long walk from the centre and a little difficult to find, but well worth the effort. Memorable !

A short 15 minute walk from Bratislava city centre, this beautiful little church is well worth a visit.
This church wouldn't look out of place in Disneyland but be sure to check opening times as it is only open briefly throughout the week. We were informed that lots of wedding couples come here to have their photographs taken outside this very picturesque place, but in the limited time we were there we unfortunately didn't see any.

You’ll find the Blue Church located not far from the city center. Only open on weekends and special days. Even though you cannot go in, you can get a peek of the interior through a barred entrance. Beautiful art noveau architecture.

Beautiful and highly unusual church which is a short walk from the town centre. The blue on the outside is quite striking as is the inside, which is a similar colour. Up close, the detail on the walls os quite outstanding.
The opening hours are erratic and it seems to be most likely to be open in the early evenings. However when we went during the day, the door was open with a locked grate in place so we could at least see in and admire the amazing interior.

A blue church wouldn't seem to be much of a reason to go out of one's way to see it, but when you see it, and realize that it might be the only blue church you've ever seen, you realize it's been a worthwhile detour.

Unfortunately, the church was closed when we visited, and we could only peer in through the doorway, but the interior is also, of course, blue. The rectory next door, is again, blue.

It's a unique church tucked away in a neighborhood with other interesting Art Nouveau and Soviet Era architecture.

The Church of St. Elizabeth, commonly known as Blue Church is a Hungarian Secessionist Catholic church located in the Old Town in Bratislava.

It is close in the inner part of the old city but it is not difficult to reach.
This church, built in 1909-1913 is a stunning building.
It is one of the best thing that I saw in Bratislava.
I could not visit it inside because it was close but only for the external architecture, it is beautiful.

Worthy a visit! Definitely

This modest church is a quick walk from downtown Bratislava and should be checked out. I loved the powder blue exterior and there were quite a few tourists milling around just like us. Services were going on inside, so we only had a quick peek. On your walk over, don’t miss the food truck square for drinks and food.

Pretty blue church located within 10 minutes walk from the old town. The church was closed but doors were open but barred so you could see inside though you could not go inside. Interesting school building located across the street from the church. Worth the walk to go and see the church.

Its a bit out of the way, about 15 minutes on foot from the old town centre, in a residential neighbourhood. Really beautiful and cosy from outside, extraordinary architecture remind me something of the the great works of the famous architecture of Barcelona Gaudi. Really unique.Woth a visit definitely.

This church looks literally like it is made of ginger bread, and it is so cool with the blue color, both inside and outside. Don t miss it! I never saw anything similar in my life. It is a short walk from downtown and totally worth seing. Check the schedule before going
