Winter Harbour Masterplanning Competition

Situated on the Danube, linking Vienna and Budapest by water. An industrial site in the wider city centre of Slovakia’s capital. Once a heavily used and noisy cargo port. Currently the largest urban redevelopment site in Bratislava. A place where the past meets the future—and where the city’s next chapter is being shaped today.

Winter Harbour.

A formerly inaccessible industrial zone is set to become a modern, accessible urban district in the coming years, following the example of other European harbour redevelopments—familiar in concept, yet unique in character.

Public Ports Company, together with the Capital City of Bratislava, announce an international masterplanning competition to develop an urban proposal for the transformation of the Winter Harbour in Bratislava. The competition is organised by the Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava and is a two‑stage, open, and anonymous process.

The masterplanning competition will run from February to October 2026 in two stages. The results of the Stage 2 and the winning design are expected to be published in October 2026. The only communication platform for competition participants and the organiser is the Josephine portal (please follow it for future updates).

The submission deadline for Stage 1 is 25 May 2026 at 5:00 p.m.
