The Tatras Electric Railway

by Paul2001

Traveling from trailhead to trailhead throughout the Tatras Mountains could not be easier. This is because of the excellent electric railway system that passes through most of the towns in the vicinity of the mountains. All the trains start in Poprad and head to Stary Smokovec and then split up once they get there. Trains either head to Tatransk? Lomnica to the east or to Štrbsk? Pleso in the west. These trains run fairly often, about once an hour on average. The trains are also very clean and modern. You have to buy your ticket before you get on and be sure to hold on to it as the conducters will be checking on the train. Tickets can cost from 140Sk to 260Sk depending upon the length of your trip. The website below is in Slovakian only but it is pretty easy to navigate for the purpose of checking out schedules.

SKODA

by lmkluque

The best way to get to Vlachovo is by SKODA, the car made by Slovaks!The best way to get around the town center of Kosice or Vlachovo is by foot. Vlachovo, because it is so small and Kosice because the town center allows only pedestrian traffic.One thing that was pretty interesting was that they put portable radios, plugged into the cigarette lighter, in their car as a sign of affluence. Evidently the cars are not offered with a radio. Even in those days the Skoda was known to be a well made and lasting car. So, whether or not it comes with radio, it is reliable.On the last day of my visit they asked me about the kind of car I had which led to a discussion in general about cars in the USA. I found it difficult to explain the varieties offered by each manufacturer and the pricing for each level.

By car

by zaffaran

If you drive your car and you are not in a hurry in order to speed through Slovakia , choose side roads.Then you may admire the surroundings, nobody wants to kill you :-)), you visit places which are not touristy at all but extremely beautiful!Last year we were in a hurry so we took the motorway to Bratislava, but two years ago from Terchova (where we spent a few days) we headed for Martin then Kremnica(road 65), then Banska Stiavnica, Levice and Sturovo. The road was of quite a good quality, but it's worth mentioning that it was narrow and winding.

Trains

by Skipka

Trains aren't that clean but there is a good net of them so you can go everywhere. Tickets aren't that expensive as in other countries and it is much more comfortable as in crowded buses.Especially in High Tatras there can be seen improvement, if you're lucky going from Tatranska Lomnica to other points you can go by train we jokingly call Shinkansen. ;) It has all the comfort you need plus good music and if you're tired after too much hiking you can easily have a nap there ;)Check this site where you can find your personalized route as you wish to go through :)

Public Transport

by Skipka

There is a good net of public transport almost in every bigger town. In the capital and big cities (if towns in Slovakia should be called cities in general) is a variety of trams, buses, trolleybuses lines but there is no subway in Slovakia. So, if you will see something that looks like subway ;) you probably will be dissapointed ...Check this link

By bus to Slovakia

by matcrazy1

There are quite many scheduled buses from Austria (esp. from Wien to Bratislava) and other neighbouring countries to Slovak cities.There were scheduled buses to Bratislava by Eurolines from:Austria (Wien, Salzburg)Belgium (Brussels)Croatia (Makarska)Czech (Prague)France (Paris, Nice)Germany (Cologne, Dortmund, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart)Hungary (Gyor)Italy (Venice, Milan)Switzerland (Zurich, Geneve)United Kingdom (London)Check your connection: Eurolines - page in English, German and Slovak. There were very cheap scheduled buses which went only to the border crossing point and back esp. on border with Poland. For example there were Slovak scheduled buses to Oravska Polhora - the last bus stop was just by the border crossing point. The Polish bus company (PKS) last stop was located on Polish side of the border. They went to the border 3 times daily from roundabout in nearby Korbielow....

On foot

by matcrazy1

The best way to explore the area of compact Slovak oldtowns was walking on foot. Especially that some of them were closed to traffic (except for taxis usually). If you get tired you always can take a bus/tram to continue your trip.Another great opportunity not to miss is hiking along numerous mountain trails in Slovak mountains esp. in Mala and Velka Fatra and in Tatra Mountains. I found the trails quite good signed. Don't forget to buy and pack detailed map (1:50,000 or 1:100,000) of the area (by VKU).

By train around

by matcrazy1

I travelled from Tychy, Poland to Zilina, Slovakia through Czech by train once. It was quite cheap but rather slow trip (slower than by car, I think). But anyway, train is a good choice in Slovakia for those who doesn't want to drive a car there in my opinion. And there are quite many railway tracks around Slovakia.Classification of trains (from the best and fastest) and prices hmm... in 2000:1. EuroCity (EC);2. Intercity (IC)- kind of express trains with some snacks/coffee served - extra fare + 70 Sk for compulsory reservation;3. Express (Ex);4. Fast train (R, rychlik);- they costed the same, extra fare + 40 Sk for compulsory reservation;5. "Accelerated" trains (zrychlene, ZR);6. "Normal" trains (osobne);- they costed the same but "normal" trains were slower as they stopped at each railway stop/station. Fare was about 7 Sk/km (50% more in more comfortable 1st class), reservation of seat...

By bus around

by matcrazy1

I used scheduled buses only twice in Slovakia in late 90'. Each city and town and most even the smallest villages are connected by scheduled, usually old, white-red buses run by SAD (Slovenska Autobusova Doprava) company. Timetables were shown on (often neglected) bus terminals and bus stops but they contained a lot of secret abbrevations and signs. Ask native for help, hmm... if you find anyone speaking say English or check your bus connections in advance in local tourist information office (look for "i" sign) - they at least could speak English and German there.Buses were quite clean - at least much more than bus stops - and very cheap. On the other hand scheduled buses were less comfortable and slower than trains. So, I would travel around Slovakia by trains first (if possible). Oopss... I surely travel by my car around Slovakia.Tickets were available at driver or on bus terminals....
