Train

Train is a very good solution to travel both comfortable and cheap enough. Traveling by train is more expensive in case of purchasing one-way ticket. It is very recommended, especially for international destinations, to buy an open return ticket. For further information check the website of the Slovak railways.

Trains are departing from most of the cities in the country to all parts of Slovakia. From the largest cities, the trains leave to many international destinations, such as Austria, Hungary, Germany and Czech Republic.

The Train schedules are available in English as well, but maybe you will need to change the language in the lower-right corner of the page.

For ticket reservation, please, see the Slovak Rail Company website.

Bratislava Train Stations

Since middle Ages, Bratislava has been an important cross-road among the biggest cities in Middle Europe; such as Budapest, Wien, Prague and a few more situated on the north. At the end of the 19th century and begging of the 20th century there was a big expansion of railway service in the Middle Europe. Bratislava was influenced as well; many train stations and railway lines were built. More of them were destroyed later during a huge expansion of the city; despite of it Bratislava still disposes with few train stations that are offering connections to the rest of the country and more international destinations.
