Sit down!
Sit down!
Season 8 of Sit Down! – places with comfortable seating for all residents is in full swing.
Find your place to relax in various corners of the capital from April to the end of October.
Project Sit down! has been bringing red tables and chairs to diverse and unexpected corners of the capital for several years. Without the need for construction intervention, they cultivate and improve public space where there is no permanent seating. Places come to life and gain a new dimension of use, whether for relaxation or meetings.
The project involves organizations, private businesses, and individuals from all parts of Bratislava.
Move your chair into the shade if it's a hot day, or into the sun if it's a cool morning.
We implement Sit Down! thanks to cooperation with local partners from city and cultural organizations, city districts, or non-profit organizations and businesses who take care of the furniture on a daily basis.
