Bratislava is a historic city along the Danube River which continues to preserve the architecture of the Middle Ages. Bratislava, Slovakia's capital city, is the most developed city in the country with regards to economy and culture.
If you want to visit this city, you can travel to Bratislava Milan Rastislav Stefanik Airport (Bratislava Airport). If you wish you can also reach the city from Vienna International Airport. There is a distance of about 40 kilometers from Vienna Airport to Bratislava. In the historic area of the city there are two big squares named Hlavne Namestie (main square) and Hviezdoslav Namestie (Hviezdoslav Square). The central railway station, called Hlavná Stanica, is located a fifteen to twenty minute walk north of the city center.
In Bratislava, the trains are only used for intercity or international journeys. The central bus station of the city is called Autobusová Stanica. There are six large stations in the city, named Trnavské mýto, Račianske mýto, Patrónka, Bratislava hlavná stanica, Zochova and Mlynské Nivy, all of which are meant to be transfer points of public transport. Many people prefer to travel on foot in some parts of the city.
Especially, the central part of the city is very small. You can fold the entire square within a few minutes. Those who consider going out of the city center can alternatively take trams, buses or trolleybuses. There is a large public transport network in the city; however, buses can sometimes move very slowly, especially since the majority of vehicles are outdated.
Public transport prices are more affordable than in Europe. If you buy a standard ticket, it will be valid for fifteen minutes after your first use. Preferably, it is possible to buy tickets that are valid for one hour during weekdays and one and a half hour during weekends and holidays. The fees for these tickets are not much different from standard tickets.
If you plan to stay in the city for a long time, it will also be economical to buy from special tickets that are valid for one, two, three or seven days. We remind you that after you get on the vehicle, you have to validate your ticket at the machines. The drivers do not sell tickets. So you have to buy your tickets before you get on the ride. You can purchase your tickets from purchasing machines on many stations or by SMS.
Within the city, buses and trams depart from three main points: Hodžovo námestie, connection point for buses in the northwest and east direction, Poštová, the main station for trams and Most SNP the connection point for buses moving in the south and west direction.
Many of the public transport services are available between 04:30 in the morning and 23:30 in the evening. There is no special shuttle service to the airport. If you are thinking of traveling to the terminal by public transport, the only option is the bus. If you prefer to have a more comfortable ride, you can take a taxi or rent a car.
Traveling by bus to the airport is a very practical and affordable option. Bus number 61, which runs from the central railway station, gives you access to the terminal.

Depending on the area you are in, you can also take these buses from Trnavské mýto, the main transfer point or Racianské Mýto, station where you can transfer to the trams. There is no direct service from the central bus station to the airport.
