Bratislava Travel Forum

I am going to be in Bratislava for 3 days in August and want to know if it is easy to get to Mosonmagyarovar or should I just go to Gyor. Is a train or bus easier to either of these destinations? Thanks for your help.

Is anybody familiar with Hotel Blue III, Riazanska 38 and its surroundings? Is it a good place to stay there for a week?
Thanks.

Can anyone please recommend a lunch time restaurant and what the local specialities are? Thank you

Hi! I will travel by train from Bratislava to Prague.
Some weeks ago I read a VT deal where it was said that it is possible to travel between the two cities by buying a ticket from Bratislava to the border station (Breclav) and then, aboard, a Czech national ticket from Breclav to Prague. This is apparently cheaper than the normal Bratislava-Prague ticket. I'd like to know if anyone has ever done so.
I'm a bit afraid at the idea of taking a train without a regular ticket because this is illegal in Italy (you are fined 50 euro if you haven't got a ticket), and buying tickets aboard has been very limited for some years already. So, if anyone else had bought this double ticket (Bratislava-Breclav + Breclav-Prague), I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks,
Michele

Hi there, I'm trying to find how much would a bus ticket cost from the airport (letisko, I believe) to the main station (hlavná?) in order to get a train to Wien.

Many thanks,

Rui

Any ideas of any pretty places in Bratislava that we could do enroute to Vienna. Don't fancy any more palaces/castles. Thank you

Hi

We're hopping to Bratislava from Vienna - plan to spend no more than a day there. Are Euros widely accepted please - or do we need local currency

Thanks

Where in Bratislava can I take one-day guided trip to Vienna for fair rate?
How long can such trip take?
Thanks.

I need to make a reservation for bicycle carriage on the EC 174 leaving Bratislava at 08:12 and arriving in Decin at 13:56 each day. I intend to go in July, coming from Austria on the Danube Cycling trail.

The EC 174 is the only train that carries bicycles on this route fast and without multiple changes, plus it is the cheapest and only option for me for getting to my home in East Germany on the same day. But reservations for bicycle carriage on EC trains need to be made in advance.

Is there any way to purchase the reservation and the train ticket over the internet?

For Bratislava-Dresden on the same train I could call Deutsche Bahn, but I rather not pay the 60 EUR extra that this would cost me.

My daughter and her friend have booked a Ryanair flight from Hahn to Bratislava and back to go to the match in Vienna tomorrow. They split up in the meantime, but she is still going. She had to change the day of her trip to Vienna and is taking a train now, but still wants to fly back as originally planned. Her friend isn't going at all.
(Additional question: Is anyone interested in a ticket for the match Turkey-Croatia tomorow? Pick-up would be Vienna.)

My daughter checked in online for the return portion, but we're not sure if Ryanair will accept her ticket, since she didn't use the the first part, Hahn - Bratislava.

Does anybody know how this is handled? I know EU law states the airlines have to accept the return part, but this is a new law and Ryanair is not exactly known for their passenger service.

Since Ryanair sells the flight as flights to Vienna, I'll also post this question in the Vienna forum.

Thank you for any help.

We are coming from Krakow and will stop in Bratislava. Can someone recommend a
3 to 4 star hotel and give us suggestions as to what we should see and do while visiting?

Thank you for your help.

I will visit Bratislava from 12th to 19th July this year. It would be great if I could meet other VTers during my stay, so if you are there, please let me know.
Other questions:
1) what are some nice places I should see, apart from the most important museums, palaces that are mentioned in guidebooks?
2) how many days will I need to visit Bratislava well (some museums, all the important churches, the city centre, etc.)?
3) What locations near Bratislava are worth visiting on a one-day trip? And how can I reach them by public transport?
4) I will take a train from Vienna to Bratislava main station. My hotel is located at Rajska ulica. What tram or bus do I have to take to get there? Do I also have to buy a ticket for my suitcase and how much does this ticket cost?
5) Will I need to buy a pass for trams and buses to visit the city or can just walk across it? Are there 7-day or (2/3/5-day) public transport tickets?
Thanks for your answers!

Hi

I am in need of information concerning train times and prices for a train journey between Bratislava and Arad, Romania and then on to Sibiu.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

daughter competing in UK frisbee tournament 3 to 6 july. we hAVE booked a hotel marol in bratislava but games in trvna so what is the best way to get there. grateful for help pat

I am planning to go to Bratislava for two weeks to a month in August. I want to make a grand tour of the area and I think I will use Bratislava as my base to visit different cities in the area.


I wonder if someone could help me. I don't mind staying at a hostel but the main thing is this: I need to either rent a place where I can have high speed internet access and be alone for five hours per day so I can do my work (I teach English online) or I can stay anywhere like a hostel but I need a place where I can work with the characteristics I mentioned above. . .and since I am from Argentina (and we have a very poor currency) I can't afford much.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi!

I would like to visit Bratislava for a day. I will be coming from Vienna/ Wien and probably returning the same night. Anyone has any suggestions as to what one should see?

Looking forward to some inputs!! thanks!!

Hi

I am looking for up to date advice on travel from the airport at Vienna to the centre of Bratislava. In particular, how do bus and train services compare?

Any help much appreciated.

I understand that there is talk about changing the currency in Slovakia to euro?
If so, when will this happen? What happens with the old notes?

thx

Have went through a lot of hostels, a private room for two costs at least 50euro. I believe the same price is good enough to stay in a hotel as well? Any hotel/hostel around the price could you recommend? The euro is 20% higher than the time I started planning for this trip.  I am okay with mix-dorm but my friend has never done that. Thanks.

Hi,

Hi! I will be in Bratislava this May and am looking to get to Krakow. I think they best way to do this is by train, possibly overnight.
Does anyone know how much this train is, and where we could find information (in English) about it? How safe would it be for 3 girls traveling alone?

Hi all... Can somebody give me the website or information on getting to Budapest from Bratislava by hydrofoil? Thanks. :)

Hi there,

I am going to be visiting Slovakia for two weeks in August.
As I am at the start of my planning I have a few basic questions for all of you:

- I would like to learn a little Slovak to help me get around however I have only been able to find Czech learning resources. Will learning some Czech be sufficient?

- What are the absolute 'must-dos' of Slovakia? My rough guide is in the post but as yet I know virtually nothing about the country. Your suggestions may include visits to areas around Slovakia but, as I only have two weeks, I would like to use most of my time to get to know Slovakia better.

Any other thoughts would be most welcome

Hi all. Anyone knows how to get to Budapest from Bratislava?
Is there a cheap flight? Or should I just take the train?
If train, so far I haven't been able to find a website to reserve the tickets. Can I just show up at the train station and buy the tickets there?
Thanks.

Hi all. Anyone ever stayed in one of these apartments?
Would you please share your view on these apartments? I'm planning to go to Bratislava and have narrowed my accommodation choices to these three apartments.
Thanks.

Where can I find real estate agents / websites / other offers for furnished appartements in Bratislava ?

Price / month should not exceed 900 EUR. Preferably near the city center and close to public transport. Arrival date will expectedly be the 14th of april 2008. Pets allowed would be of advantage.

Hi,
