Boroughs and localities of Bratislava

[1] Cadastral areas coincide with boroughs, except in two cases: Nové Mesto is further divided into the Nové Mesto and Vinohrady cadastral areas and Ružinov is divided into Ružinov, Nivy and Trnávka.

[2] In 1946, the formerly independent villages of Devín, Dúbravka, Lamač, Petržalka, Prievoz (part of Ružinov), Rača and Vajnory were annexed to Bratislava, increasing the total area of the city to 193.6 km2.

[2] The last territorial expansion of Bratislava to date occurred in 1972, with the villages of Devínska Nová Ves, Záhorska Bystrica, Vrakuňa, Podunajské Biskupice, Jarovce, Rusovce and Čunovo being annexed, creating the so-called Greater Bratislava (Veľká Bratislava) with an area of 367.5 km2.

[2] This was done in order to gain more space for massive apartments construction, which resulted in population growth from 143,000 in 1946 to around 450,000 in 1989.

[2] The following table gives an overview of the boroughs, along with the district, population, area, founding or annexation date (if applicable) and location within Bratislava.
