    Transportation is easy, everywhere are buses and trams, trolleybuses. The basic ticket is valid for ten minutes and costs 16 Sk, (1 Euro is around 42-45 Sk), there are also other kinds of tickets which you can buy in automats almost at every corner. If you will stay in center there is always around ten minutes to go anywhere ;) so better for you is walking :)

    Bratislava has a very good public transport system consisting of trolley buses, trams and buses. Single tickets are valid for 10, 20 and 60 minutes and cost 14, 16 and 20 SKK. A day ticket sets you back 80 SKK (2004).

    Tickets are available at vending machines or special kiosks. When boarding a vehicle the ticket has to be stamped.

    If you are on a daytrip by train from Vienna, then your train ticket is also valid on the public transportation in Bratislava.

    The public transport in Bratislava is quite good organized. Most of the lines have frequency cca each 10-15 min. But expect a lot of people in vehicles especially in peak (in the morning about 7:30 and afternoon about 16:00).
    The tickets are available by tobacconist or in automatic machines. The 10 min ticket costs SKK 14,- and 30 min SKK 16,-. I recommend to the tourists to buy touristic tickets for 24 hours (available in the main train station and near Presidential Palace).

    The same tickets that you use for the buses are also good on the trams. Tram #1 goes to and from the train station. One word of warning. Always be sure to stamp your ticket. I never had a problem, but I've heard that the inspectors who occasionally and randomly check tickets on board, have no sympathy if you are a tourist and don't know how things work. If you buy a 10 minutes ticket and your journey happens to take 11 minutes, they won't hesitate to issue you a hefty fine, which you'll have to pay on the spot.

    To most places you can get just by walking as the city is rather small, but if you do need to go somewhere further try the local tram, it is cheap and easy to use.

    Well, you can use this toy castle train to get up the hill to the castle and back. It is practical if you are really not into much walking.

    When we arrived at Bratislavs Main Station (Hlavna Stanica), we didn't know how close the city center was, so we decided to use the public transportation. We found the street cars/trams just downstairs from the train station, but did not have change, so we went back upstairs and got our 30-minute tickets (18 SKK each). After looking at the map, we were still unsure exactly which tram to take, so we ended up boarding the wrong one. Luckily I was watching the map during the ride, and I soon realized we were heading away from the Old Town. We jumped off the tram, still not really knowing where we were. To make things worse, now I couldn't find my ticket and I didn't have enough coins in the local money left for a 30-min ticket! I ended up buying a 10-min ticket (14 SKK) and we waited for the next tram back to the main train station so we could regroup, ask directions, and get where we needed to be. Luckily a friendly local gentleman saw our predicament and offered to help (already a huge improvement over Budapest!). He pointed out that we wanted the #1 tram and showed us the direction it would be heading. We started to walk that way, and the weather was nice and the people were out so we kept walking, ensuring we kept following stops for the #1 tram. Next thing we knew, we were on Obchodna pedestrian street, heading into the city center... soon St. Michael's Gate appeared in front of us and we were off exploring the Old Town!

    As of March 2006, the lines have been renumbered and Tram 13 now goes directly from the main train station to old town (trams no longer run down Obchodna). Though we only used the tram this once, I am told the city ticket inspectors are Nazis and they love to fine tourists. Be sure you buy the proper ticket for your journey and stamp it immediately upon boarding the tram.

    This is example of the ticket used for Public transport, there are more tickets like this and it depends on you which to buy. But for you as tourists will be enough to buy 10 minutes' ticket. :)
