How to get to Bratislava
Bratislava, the country capital, is served by its own Bratislava international airport (BTS) with regular flights to 22 destinations mainly in Europe. Vienna (VIE) or Budapest Ferihegy (BUD) international airports could be used alternatively. If you want to rent a car, you can do that for a reasonable price at the airport.
At the Bratislava airport, you can take public transportation bus No. 61 (or N61 at night) or a taxi to reach the main bus or train station. You can find a comprehensive map of the Bratislava public transportation here (PDF).
TAXI in Bratislava - it might be helpful to use taxi for some participants (to get to train station, from the airport etc.). There are lot of possibilities, but we recommend:
- GreenTaxi (+421 905 660 660, +421 2 16660). This company offers a ride directly from Bratislava to Pezinok for 15€ (slightly more expensive from the airport).
- EasyTaxi (+421 918 555 555)
Both companies offer quite reasonable prices (5€/ride in Bratislava, 8€ from the airport to the city)
Some drivers don't accept credit cards!
From Vienna
From Vienna, there are several possibilities to use low-cost shuttle busses operating on the daily basis between Vienna and Bratislava. The providers include: SlovakLines, RegioJet, FlixBus, Blaguss. You can also take the train from Vienna Hauptbahnhof to Bratislava Hlavná stanica or main railway station (approx. 1-hour journey).

From Budapest, the best option is to take the international InterCity/EuroCity train from Keleti station to Bratislava main railway station (approx. 2-hour journey, runs every day).
