    Slovak Railways are quite nice, efficient and frequent. They have two tiers of train, the slow local one (also stopping at every station) and the fast one. The price are different and obviously the faster, the more expensive.

    The buses are also useful as a complimentary for the railways as well, and it can also be faster than the trains.

  • I got there by train from Prague. The best way to reach the Vysoké Tatry from Czech Republic is by train to Zilina, and taking a train from there in the direction of Kosice. Than you can get of Poprad Tatry, and that's where the weird electric railway will take you up to the mountains
    Getting around by train in Slovakia is not hard, just ask and probably someone will help you out.
    From Poprad train station the funny but slow narrow gauge electric railway takes you to most mountain resorts.

    Getting to Slovakia is very easy. You can take a plane either directly to Bratislava, Slovakia s capital, or to Viena in Austria which is situated mere 70 km or 43 miles far from Bratislava.
    You can also get here by Eurolines buses from all around the Europe.
    Or you can also come by train from Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest...
    I think that for those of you who want to see 'the more the better', the best way how to get around is to rent a car.
    But, if you dont want to spend much money, travel around by local buses and trains...

    ...you can also try it this way...

  • We flew into Vienna, and then caught the train over the border to Bratislava. The train trip only took about 1 hour, and the train was quick, and clean.
    Whilst in Slovakia, we found that trains were an excellent way to travel, with the odd bus trip here and there as well. The trains were extremely cheap, and we were able to research timetables in English from their national railways site:
    www.zsr.sk/english/index.html<br /> I wouldn't recommend using a Eurail pass in Slovakia, as the fares are so cheap.
    Try and take express trains if at all possible, and be aware that some people will have reserved seats, so if someone seems to be telling you that you are in their seat, just find an empty one.

    we have traveled to Bratislava, but there are also trains and planes. Sou that shouldnt be a problem.
    In Bratislava you can use public tranportations or taxis which are not expensive. Sou for the city you can use taxis.
