Bratislava’s M.R. Štefánik International Airport is 7 kilometres north east of the city centre. Bus number 61 runs to and from the Hlavná Železnicná train station and takes about 20 minutes. There is also a taxi rank at the front of the terminal building.
The city’s extensive public transport system is based on a tram network complemented by bus and trolleybus. Tourist tickets valid for 1, 2, 3 or 7 days allow you to transfer between them and offer good value. Orange automats at the main train and bus stops sell tickets. Validate the ticket in the little red machine on the bus or tram when you board. You can also buy tickets at DPB offices at the train and bus stations. Trams and buses run from 05.00 to 23.30. Night service buses run through the small hours; schedules are posted at main stops.
Be aware that people are extremely polite on public transport in Bratislava – expect to give up your seat for the elderly or parents with children.
