Public Transport

The Bratislava Transport Company (tel: 16186; website: www.dpb.sk, with more complete information in English at www.imhd.sk) runs a thorough network through the city, with a choice of more than 90 trolley-bus, trams and bus lines. Most operate from 0500 to midnight, with a few infrequent night lines. Tickets are available from machines at every stop, and must be validated in the machine on the vehicle. Ticket price includes all connecting services in one journey direction based on time (10, 30 and 60 minutes) and tariff zones 1 and 2. Special daily or weekly tourist tickets are available. There are penalties for travelling without a ticket, and a special ticket is needed for luggage greater than 30 x 40 x 60 cm.

Taxis

Taxis in Bratislava are rather less likely to cheat you than in some other parts of world, and prices are reasonable. Fun Taxi (tel: 16777; website: www.funtaxi.sk) and MB Taxi (tel: 16916; website: www.mbtaxi.sk), slightly more expensive, are both reputable companies.

Car Hire

Providers include Avis (tel: (02) 5341 6111; website: www.avis.sk), Hertz, from MR Stefanik airport (tel: (02) 5720 1261; website: www.hertz.sk), Europcar (tel: (02) 4926 2637; website: www.europcar.sk) and Rent Point (tel: (02) 6825 0222, website: www.rentpoint.sk).

Bicycle Hire

There are currently no bike rental shops in Bratislava. Some hostels rent them, but only as part of organised bike trips. Slovakia generally is superb for biking, but everyone has their own bike, hence the lack of rental shops.
