Slovakia travel advice

Danube Wings have announced the cancellation of its flights from Poprad-Tatry to London Luton, and Kosice to Manchester T1, with effect from 7 March 2010.

Most visits to the Slovak Republic are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

You must carry your passport with you at all times for identification purposes.

Since 1 November 2007, it is an offence to drink alcohol in the street. There are likely to be exceptions for seasonal markets (such as the Christmas Market) and outside seating areas of restaurants and bars but consuming alcohol (for example bought in a supermarket) in other public areas could result in visitors being fined.
