By air: Regularly scheduled flights come to Kosice (from
Prague, Vienna and sometimes from Brno and Moscow) and Bratislava (from
many cities, including Zurich, Prague, Moscow, Tel Aviv and Persian Gulf
states). Other destinations are added from time to time, but these
are fairly stable.
Charter flights reach many more regional airports, most notably to
Poprad, the gateway to the Tatras mountain ranges.
By train: Many of Europe’s busiest train routes pass through
or very near Slovakia (for example, Vienna’s position 100 km from Bratislava
makes connections easy and practical). It is especially simple to
travel from neighbouring countries. There are also regular trains directly
to and from key cities in Germany, Italy and Russia.
By bus: Most countries in Europe are connected with Slovak
destinations by regular service, ususally direct.
By car: Slovakia is now in the process of connecting its
key cities by express motorways, but this project will not be complete
for many years. At present, dual carriage motorways are limited to
the areas around the larger cities, with the longest section running some
100 km north from Bratislava. However, smaller roads are generally
in good condition.
By boat(!): Scenic river cruises from Vienna and from Budapest
regularly visit Bratislava, making for an especially delightful summer
outing. Overnight stays can be arranged.
