Bratislava is home of numerous unique statues worth seeing and taking a nice picture with as well. Let´s meet the most interesting ones.
Schöne Náci is one of the most favorite statues in Bratislava. It represents a unique figure in Bratislava's history. Not a statesmen, a sportsman or soldier: instead, the Schöner Naci ( whose real name was Ignác Lamár.) was famous for wandering the streets of the city, elegant in morning suit and top hat. He would frequently doff his hat to the ladies he passed and offer them flowers or a song.
One the corner of Laurinská Street another human size statue catches people´s eyes. It´s a paparazzi holding a camera in his hands, he looks as if he´s taking pictures of Bratislava´s high society emerging from the eponymous bar next door.
A unique Bratislava curiosity: no other city in the world has a statue emerging from a manhole. After Rubberneck had lost his head twice due to careless drivers city councillors decided to help him by erecting a road sign to warn drivers: another world-first...
One of the most attractive statues for tourists is Napoleonec, leaning on a bench on Main Square. It portrays a sniper soldier from 1809. In other to preserve the statue, Napoleonec spends his winters in city´s „safe house“.
