7 Bratislava Location Bratislava is capital city of Slovakia located in Central Europe. City is well connected with neighboring capitals and international airports by international highways. By road Bratislava is situated directly on country boarders with Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary. Bratislava is well connected to neighboring capitals by international multilane highways. Within Slovakia, the D1 motorway connects Bratislava to the east of the country (direction Košice, Krakow), the D2 motorway connects Bratislava with Hungary to the south and the Czech Republic to the north and D4 motorway connects Bratislava with Vienna. By air If you want to fly to Bratislava, you can choose between the city s own international airport and Schwechat airport in Vienna, which is about 45 km from Bratislava and connected by regular shuttle buses. Regular flights link these airports with many major European destinations. Vienna international airport (VIE) Bratislava airport (BTS) By train International trains to Bratislava s main railway station run from Vienna (1 hour), Budapest (3 hours), and Prague (4-5 hours) several times a day. There are less frequent direct connections to Berlin, Bucharest, Kiev, Moscow and Warsaw. The main railway station is a short distance from the centre and there is a good connection to city public transport; alternatively, walking takes minutes. Trains from Vienna also arrive at Bratislava Petržalka Station, which is to the south of the city centre across the Danube River and has direct bus connection with Čunovo (Public transport, Bus 91) By boat Perhaps the nicest way to arrive in Bratislava is by riverboat, via the Danube. The Rhine Main Danube Canal links Bratislava with the North Sea; the Danube River connects it to the Black Sea. Cruises along the Danube have been a big hit with tourists for many years. River cruises go to and from Budapest, and a scheduled passenger service, the Twin City Liner, connects Bratislava and Vienna by high-speed catamaran several times a day during summer.
