Public Transport

Bratislava has a very good network of public transport (trams and buses). Detailed information on the public city transport (in Slovak: MHD for "mestská hromadná doprava", an analogue to TPG in Geneva) in Bratislava is at:

Tickets for public transport need to be bought before you enter the bus, price is 0.7 euro for 15-minute ticket and 0.9 euro for 30-minute ticket. Tickets could be obtained in an orange ticket vendor machine located on most of the stops. Most of them accept euro-coins only, few newer ones (at the airport, train and intercity bus stations) also accept payment by credit or debit cards. During working hours tickets are available also in newspaper kiosks. You need to validate the ticket when you enter the bus (ticket time starts from the moment of validation).
The conference site has an excellent location in the city center and many attractions including the Old Town are within walking distance.

If you plan to use a taxi, we recommend to use either a mobile application (Uber, Hopin, Liftago taxi, Taxify) or to call a taxi cab by phone (recommended taxi telephone numbers are +421216222, +421216300, +421216777, +421218158, +421903646179). Taking a taxi on stands (Airport, train station, intercity bus station, or anywhere else) is not recommended in general, and if you really need to take taxi urgently feel free to negotiate your total fare with the driver in advance, being aware of an intense competition among taxi companies. Regular hotel taxi is available and convenient, possibly with inflated rates.

Taxi prices should be from 0.60-1.00 € per km (when ordered by telephone) to 1-1.5 € per km (when hailed in the street or a taxi stand), plus there is a universal 1.70-3.20 € starting fee.
