Panorama Bratislave
Stari grad iz dvorca

Bratislava ima vrlo ugodan srednjovjekovni grad s uskim krivudavim ulicama, dvorac na vrhu brda uz rijeku Dunav i brojne povijesne crkve i zgrade koje treba posjetiti. Stari grad usredotočen je na dva trga, Hlavne namestie (glavni trg) i Hviezdoslavovo namestie (trg Hviezdoslav, nazvan po poznatom slovačkom pjesniku). Prilično su različitog arhitektonskog karaktera neke zgrade iz doba komunizma pronađene u modernim dijelovima grada; Primjer toga je stambeno naselje Petrzalka, najveći stambeni kompleks od betonskih blokova iz komunizma u Hrvatskoj Srednja Europa, koji se beskrajno proteže samo preko rijeke. Pomaknite se dalje prema istoku i ima puno ruralnih mjesta za istraživanje. Postoje farme, vinogradi, poljoprivredno zemljište i sićušna sela na manje od 50 km sjeverno i istočno od Bratislave.

Bratislava i okolica čine drugu najprosperitetniju regiju u Srednjoj i Istočnoj Europi, s BDP-om po glavi stanovnika od oko 167% prosjeka EU-27. Bratislava je šesta najbogatija regija Europske unije, a BDP po stanovniku otprilike je tri puta veći nego u ostalim slovačkim regijama

Povijest

Trg Hviezdoslava

Nakon pada Velikomoravskog carstva, Slovačka je postala dijelom Kraljevine Moravske Mađarska iz 10. stoljeća (kasnije uključeno u Austro-Ugarsko Carstvo) do kraja Prvog svjetskog rata. Grad je bio glavni grad (1536.-1784.), Krunidbeni grad (1563.-1830.) I sjedište Dijete (1536.-1848.) Kraljevine Mađarske tijekom tri stoljeća. U tom je razdoblju u katedrali sv. Martina okrunjeno jedanaest mađarskih kraljeva i kraljica. U to se vrijeme grad zvao Preßburg na njemačkom, a Pozsony na mađarskom jeziku i imao je jasnu njemačku (42%) i mađarsku (40%) etničku većinu (popis stanovništva 1910). 1919. godine Trijanonskim ugovorom stvorena je Čehoslovačka, a Bratislava je pripojena novoosnovanoj državi. Iste je godine prvi put službeno usvojeno ime Bratislava.

Između 1939. i 1944. Slovačka je bila nacistička marionetska država. 1941–1942. I 1944–1945. Ova je vlada surađivala na protjerivanju većine oko 15 000 Židova Bratislave u koncentracijske logore, gdje je većina ubijena. Bratislavu su 1944. godine okupirale njemačke trupe, a na kraju je zauzela sovjetska Crvena armija 4. travnja 1945., nakon neuspjele pobune slovačkih partizana, koja se danas obilježava kao Slovenské národné povstanie, ili "Slovački nacionalni ustanak".

Nakon što je Komunistička partija u veljači 1948. preuzela vlast u Čehoslovačkoj, grad je svjedočio dubokoj demografskoj i urbanoj transformaciji. 1969. godine postao je glavni grad Slovačke socijalističke republike, jedne od dviju sastavnih država savezne Čehoslovačke.

Bratislavski disidenti predviđali su pad komunizma demonstracijama svijeće u Bratislavi 1988. godine, a grad je 1989. postao jedno od najistaknutijih središta antikomunističke "Baršunaste revolucije". 1993. godine grad je postao glavni grad novoformirane Slovačke Republike nakon "Razvoda od baršuna".

Od pada željezne zavjese, a posebno s pristupanjem Slovačke Europskoj uniji (svibanj 2004.), a kasnije i Schengenskom području, Bratislava se zbog njihove bliskosti često zajedno s Bečom prodaje kao "gradovi blizanci". Dvije su europske prijestolnice s najkraćom udaljenostom jedna od druge, a ako vam Bratislava ikad dosadi, Beč je svakako zanimljivo jednodnevno putovanje. Možete i prijeći oko 60 km udaljenosti na biciklu u jednom danu ako ste umjereno sposobni.

1 Zračna luka Bratislava (BTS IATA). Najveća zračna luka u Slovačkoj Republici Zračna luka M. R. Štefánik (Q828379) na Wikipodacima Zračna luka Bratislava na Wikipediji (ažurirano listopada 2016)

Sljedeće zrakoplovne kompanije obavljaju redovne redovne, sezonske i sezonske čarter letove do Bratislave:

  • Ryanair: Alghero, Atena, Beauvais, Bergamo, Birmingham, Bologna, Charleroi, Dublin, Eindhoven, Girona, Kijev – Boryspil, London – Stansted, Malta, Manchester, Niš, Pafos, Rim – Ciampino, Solun Sezonski: Burgas, Krf, Eilat, Leeds / Bradford, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca
  • Smartwings: Sezonski: Antalya, Burgas, Catania, Krf, Heraklion, Kos, Lamezia Terme, Larnaca, Palma de Mallorca, Rodos
  • Wizz Air: Kijev – Žulijani, London–Luton, Lavov, Odesa, Sankt Peterburg, Skoplje, Sofija

Ako letite zrakoplovom Ryanair i imate prtljagu, ne dopustite da vas zavarava mala veličina aerodroma. Dođite u zračnu luku znatno prije leta, jer red može biti jako dugačak.

Ne postoje namjenski aerodromski autobusi, no aerodrom se služi kao dio općinske autobusne mreže. Koristite autobus Broj 61 (ili N61 noću) za izravnu vezu s Glavni kolodvor (Hlavná stanica). Ili presjednite za tramvaj na Trnavské mýto da biste došli do centra grada (da biste došli do tramvajske stanice, koristite podvožnjak i izlaz s oznakom "Centrum" (centar grada) i vozite bilo kojim tramvajem u smjeru prema centru. Možete Ne kupujte karte od vozača autobusa (pogledajte "Obilazak" dolje), tako da karte morate kupiti unaprijed. Koristite automate na autobusnoj stanici, ali trebat će vam euro kovanice jer automati ne vode bilješke (tamo su također dva velika automata za crvene karte u zgradi terminala u blizini dolazaka koji prihvaćaju novčanice i kreditne kartice). Ulaznice možete kupiti i u turističkim i mjenjačnicama na terminalu, ali oni imaju samo ograničeno radno vrijeme. Imajte na umu da trgovine i kiosci u zračnoj luci nisu od velike pomoći kada je riječ o mijenjanju računa u kovanice.Ekran u dvorani za dolazak prikazuje stvarno vrijeme polaska sljedećih autobusa javnog prijevoza i autobusa do Beča. Autobusi za javni prijevoz jeftine su - pojedinačna karta do / iz centra grada (potvrditi kartu u stroju za označavanje u autobusu; vrijedi 60 minuta od trenutka potvrde; dozvoljen transfer na druge linije javnog prijevoza) košta 1,20 €, uključujući bilo koji broj izmjena . Prekomjerno boravljenje karte može biti skupo, ali tijekom noći i slabijeg putovanja 30-minutna (0,90 €) karta može biti dovoljna za putovanje između zračne luke i autobusnog kolodvora (ili obrnuto). Putovanje do i sa željezničke stanice noću (bez automobila u blizini) je 31 min, pa ćete bolje koristiti kartu od 60 minuta.

Taksiji koji se uzimaju izravno iz zračne luke skupi su (više od 30 eura za 15-minutno putovanje do centra grada), a što je još gore, taksisti ne poštuju cijenu koju ste unaprijed dogovorili s njima. Ako volite taksi, nazovite ga ili upotrijebite aplikacije Uber, Bolt, Hopin ili Liftago: one pouzdano rade u Bratislavi.

Izravne autobusne linije koje prometuju u otprilike satnim intervalima povezuju zračnu luku Bečka međunarodna zračna luka (VIE IATA) i grad Beč (vrijeme putovanja do Beča je oko 80–90 minuta).

Bečka međunarodna zračna luka

Bečka međunarodna zračna luka

Bečka međunarodna zračna luka/ Flughafen Wien (VIE IATA) udaljen je oko 45 km (28 milja) od Bratislave, u blizini grada Schwechat u Austrija. Zračna luka je matična baza prijevoznika austrijski. Većina europskih zrakoplovnih kompanija i nekoliko međunarodnih zračnih prijevoznika imaju izravne veze s Bečem iz svojih čvorišta.

Tri su tvrtke koje pružaju autobusne usluge između Beča i međunarodne zračne luke Beč te Bratislave, a svaka prometuje svaki sat. U Bratislavi svi autobusi staju na Einsteinova (Petržalka) i Većina SNP-a (ispod mosta NLO) i / ili autobusni terminal (Autobusna stanica (Mlynské Nivy), u voznim redovima skraćeno kao Bratislava AS). Svi osim RegioJet autobusa nastavljaju prema zračnoj luci Bratislava svaka dva sata.

Kratki sažetak mogućnosti prijevoza (rasporedi i cijene od lipnja 2018.):

  • Slovačke linije (autobus). Ukupno postoji najmanje 20 usluga u bilo kojem smjeru od 06: 30–22: 30 i 24:00. Autobusi voze najmanje svakih sat vremena između glavne željezničke stanice u Beču (Wien Hauptbahnhof; Autobusni kolodvor je u susjedstvu Südtiroler Platz / Wiedner Gürtel) i Bečke zračne luke i autobusnog terminala Bratislava (Bratislava AS). Svaka dva sata produžavaju do zračne luke Bratislava. Svi autobusi također se zaustavljaju kod Hainburga, Wolfsthala (Austrija) i kod Einsteinove (Petržalka). Molimo provjerite raspored . Dozvoljen je prijevoz dva komada prtljage po osobi po cijeni od 1 eura po komadu. Oznake za prtljagu mogu se kupiti na izlazu ili od vozača. Cijena 1 € (na mreži, unaprijed), 5 € (centar Bratislave), 9,50 € (zračna luka Bratislava), djeca mlađa od 15 godina 1 €; popusti za povratne karte, mladi do 26 godina i stariji od 63 godine. Možete rezervirati online ovdje.
  • Flixbus (autobus). Ukupno postoji 21 usluga u bilo kojem smjeru od 06: 50–23: 50 i 01:05 (vrijeme polaska iz zračne luke). Autobusi voze najmanje svakih sat vremena između Beč U3 Erdberg VIB (Bečki međunarodni busterminal) i bečke zračne luke i Bratislave. Autobusna stajališta u Bratislavi: Einsteinova (Petržalka), Novi most (Većina SNP-a) i autobusni terminal (Bratislava AS). Svaka dva sata autobusi nastavljaju prema zračnoj luci Bratislava. Autobusi koji nisu namijenjeni zračnoj luci nastavljaju do autobusnog terminala i nemoj stati u Mostu SNP. Cijena od 4,99 € (unaprijed putem interneta) do 9,99 €; djeca 3,90 € - 4,99 €. Možete rezervirati online ovdje.
  • RegioJet (autobus). Ukupno postoji 16 usluga u bilo kojem smjeru u 7:00 i od 09: 00–23: 00 (vrijeme polaska iz zračne luke). Autobusi voze svakih sat vremena između glavne željezničke stanice u Beču (Wien Hauptbahnhof, Autobusni kolodvor nalazi se u neposrednoj blizini Südtiroler Platz / Wiedner Gürtel) i Bečke zračne luke i autobusnog terminala Bratislava (Bratislava AS), sa zaustavljanjima u Einsteinovoj (blizu Inchebe u Petržalki) i Mostu SNP (NLO most). Autobusi RegioJet ne nastavljaju prema zračnoj luci Bratislava. Svakako rezervirajte putem interneta. Cijena 5 eura, već od 1 eura ako se rezervira vrlo rano; djeca 4,50 €. Možete rezervirati online ovdje.
  • Vlak. Vlakovi od Beča do Bratislave ne prolaze pored bečke zračne luke jer prometuju različitim rutama. Međutim, bilo bi moguće vlakom (S7 ili R) krenuti od bečke zračne luke do Wolfsthala na austrijskoj granici (45 minuta, redovna karta košta 9,90 eura) i presjednuti u slovački regionalni autobus 901 koji će vas odvesti do centra grada Bratislave (1,50 eura, 0,75 eura za mlade mlađe od 26 godina, djeca mlađa od 6 godina putuju besplatno) za samo 12 minuta. Autobusi polaze u 55 minuta nakon sata, ali imajte na umu da polasci / dolasci autobusa nisu uvijek usklađeni s vlakovima, pa riskirate do dva sata čekanja u malom selu udaljenom 5 km od granice . Pješačenje do Bratislave odavde trajat će sat vremena i ne preporučuje se iako postoji staza u blizini Dunava. Sve u svemu, ovo nije poželjniji način za doći do Bratislave, ali mogao bi biti koristan ako su provjereni rasporedi ili ako imate rezervni plan za organizaciju vožnje ili taksija (što može biti teško objasniti ako ne ne govorim slovački ili njemački) iz Wolfsthala. 
  • Taksi. Cijena kabine nije postavljena, zato se dogovorite prije ulaska. 
  • Transfer Beč – Bratislava. Paušalna cijena od 75 eura za transfere između Beča i Bratislave. 

Alternative

Brno Zračna luka ima vrlo mali izbor destinacijskih ponuda. Budimpešta i praške zračne luke putuju oko 4-5 sati, ali mogu značiti značajne uštede na interkontinentalnim putovanjima, posebno do New York City ili Pekingu.

Vlakom

Većina međunarodnih vlakova zaustavlja se na 2 Glavni kolodvor u Bratislavi (Bratislava hlavná stanica). Ima dobre veze s javnim prijevozom. Da biste došli do središta grada, možete tramvajem broj 1 i sići na "Nám. SNP" (skraćenica od "Námestie Slovenského národného povstania") (karta), ali to je ionako nesporna šetnja od 20-25 minuta - samo zatražite besplatnu kartu i upute na turističkom informacijskom pultu unutar stanice. Autobus 80 (smjer: Kollárovo námestie) polazi izvan zgrade kolodvora ili se koristi podzemnim prolazom u holu kolodvora, a zatim uskočite u bilo koji autobus koji kreće sa suprotne strane ceste. Autobusi 91 i 191 (smjer: Nový most), 93 i 94 (smjer: Hlavná stanica i Vazovova odnosno) svi idu izravno u središte grada. Bratislava hlavná stanica (Q899662) na Wikipodacima Bratislava hlavná stanica na Wikipediji (ažurirano lipnja 2018)

  • 3 Bratislava-Petržalka. Druga glavna postaja je Bratislava-Petržalka, smještena u stambenoj četvrti, južno od rijeke Dunav. Stanica služi kao krajnja stanica za neke vlakove iz Beča. (ažurirano u studenom 2020)
  • Beč: 1 sat Postoje dvije regionalne brze usluge od Wien Hauptbahnhof (Glavni željeznički kolodvor u Beču) do dvije različite stanice u Bratislavi: jedna do Bratislave Hlavná stanica (Glavni željeznički kolodvor u Bratislavi) preko Marchegga, a druga do stanice Bratislava Petržalka preko Kittseea - svaka prometuje u satnim intervalima, a prva dnevna usluga kreće oko 05: 00 i zadnji vlak koji polazi oko 22:30, prema Petržalki u 23:15. Cijene redovnih karata za različite rute nisu iste. Ali uz povoljnu povratnu kartu EuregioBratislava-Ulaznica koji, kupljen u Beču, košta 16 eura (djeca mlađa od 15 godina: 8 eura), neovisno možete koristiti bilo koji vlak na obje rute. Vrijedi 4 dana, ali putovanje mora započeti prvog dana valjanosti. A prvog dana služi i kao dnevna karta za sav javni prijevoz u Bratislavi, omogućavajući besplatno korištenje gradskog javnog prijevoza do 01:00. Čak ćete i profitirati od ove povratne karte ako idete samo u jednom smjeru do Bratislave-Petržalke preko Kittseea, jer je jeftinija od uobičajene jednosmjerne karte s punom cijenom! Također, prijevoz jednog bicikla u vlaku je besplatan. Možete ga dobiti na šalterima karata, kao i na svim ÖBB automatima za prodaju karata, ali ne unošenjem odredišta, već odabirom na dnu stavke "Više proizvoda", a zatim "Ulaznice za susjedne zemlje".
  • Prag: 4 sata, EC vlakovi svaka 2 sata upravljaju češkom željezničkom tvrtkom ČD (České drahy). Internetske ulaznice mnogo su jeftinije od karata kupljenih na kolodvoru, ali trebali biste ih kupiti najmanje 3 dana unaprijed. U Euronight vlak moguće je ući u prespavani vagon EN 477 "Metropol"međutim, putovanje traje samo 6 sati, što znači da nećete previše spavati.
Također češki privatni niskotarifni prijevoznik RegioJet pruža tri izravne veze (raspored) do Bratislave. Vrijeme putovanja nešto manje od 4 sata. Iako RegioJet ima brojače karata u Pragu, najbolji način je rezervirati karte putem interneta (ovdje) unaprijed kako bi dobili karte s najpovoljnijom cijenom.
  • Budimpešta: 2½ sata, po danu osam EC vlakova dnevno, polazeći iz Stanica u Budimpešti Nyugati; i jedan EN vlak iz Kolodvor u Budimpešti Keleti odlazak i dolazak navečer. Vlakovi se prevoze svaka 2 sata u oba smjera. Iz Budimpešte, ciklični dvosatni raspored EC-a je od 05: 41–17: 41, s jednim dodatnim vlakom u 08:41; EN voz polazi u 20:25 (EN 476 "Metropol"). Iz Bratislave prvi vlak kreće u 05:54 (neredovito, EN 477 "Metropol"), zatim vlakovi EZ-a voze se istinskim cikličkim dvosatnim rasporedom od 07: 53–19: 53, s jednim dodatnim vlakom u 16:53. U lipnju 2018. karta za Budimpeštu – Bratislavu iznosila je 17,50 EUR (što uključuje povratno putovanje u roku od mjesec dana, što ga čini najboljom dostupnom ponudom ako se vraćate u Budimpeštu). Ista cijena i uvjeti za povratnu kartu Bratislava – Budimpešta kupljeno od slovačke željezničke tvrtke ZSSK.
  • Berlin: 8½ sata, pet dnevnih veza vlakova EC svaka dva sata. Osim jednog izravnog vlaka (EC 173 "Mađarska"), svi ostali vlakovi trebaju presjesti Prag. Nema izravne usluge spavanja, već one sa samo jednom presjedanjem u Pragu u razumno doba dana. Karte kupljene neposredno prije polaska ili u vlaku obično su puno skuplje od cijena unaprijed kupnje (ne ranije od 90 dana prije polaska), što može biti vrlo jeftino kad se kupi što ranije (počevši od 29 eura). Imajte na umu da se za ulaznice kupljene na šalteru naplaćuje 2 eura, ali informacije možete dobiti na šalteru, a kasnije svejedno kupiti na stroju, bez nadoplate. Ulaznice se mogu kupiti i putem interneta kod Deutsche Bahna izvrsna web stranica.
  • Varšava: 7 sati dnevno, jedan izravni vlak (IC 131 "Varsovia") i dvije veze s promjenom kod Břeclava; 10¾ h u noćnom vlaku EN 407 "Chopin" s promjenom kod Břeclava. Ponuda je ograničena (SparDay za dnevne vlakove, SparNight za spavače) karte s popustom do Budimpešte preko Bratislave mnogo su jeftinije od uobičajenih karata za Bratislavu.
  • Beograd: Ukupno 12¾ sati, počevši od INT / D 344 "Avala" prema Budimpešti, tamo transfer od Keleti do željezničke stanice Nyugati da bi nastavio EC 270 "Metropolitan" do Bratislave. Vlakovi iz Srbije često kasne, ali u Budimpešti imate 2 sata razlike. Alternativa: 11½ h sa INT 342 "Ivo Andrić" do Budimpešte, tamo prelazeći na EN 476 "Metropol", s vremenom prijenosa od 20 minuta na istoj željezničkoj stanici. (Izravnog vlaka više nema.)
  • Kijev: 23 sata, minimalno vrijeme putovanja s samo jednom presjedanjem, počevši vlakom preko noći D 40749 "Hortobágy" do Budimpešte, tamo transfer od Keleti do željezničke stanice Nyugati (razmak od 1 sata i 40 minuta) i nastavak vožnje vlakom EC 278 "Metropolitan".
  • Rijeka noću putem Ljubljana i Csorna, nastavljajući Břeclav, Brno, Pardubice i Praga. Vodi ga Regiojet, rezervacija bitna.

Ako planirate koristiti javni prijevoz nakon dolaska autobusom na velike udaljenosti, pitajte za upute. U blizini je nekoliko autobusnih stanica koje su označene kao "Autobusova stanica" i možda se nađete na onom koje ne nudi željenu vezu. (ažurirano listopada 2016)

Brodom

Linija Twin City povezuje Bratislavu s austrijskim glavnim gradom Bečom

Redovne turističke brodske linije prometuju Dunavom od proljeća do jeseni na rutama iz Beča. Možete pronaći rute i rasporede ovdje.

A trajekt velike brzine putuje u Beč po višoj cijeni od ostalih prijevoznih sredstava. Karta u jednom smjeru od Beča do Bratislave od strane tvrtke Twin City Liner košta oko 25-30 eura (dok je povratna karta za vlak manja od 15 eura). Čamci Twin City Liner-a putuju brzinom od 60 km / h, a putovanje traje oko 1 sat i 15 minuta od Beča do Bratislave i otprilike 1 sat i 30 minuta od Bratislave do Beča (gotovo koliko i vlak). Za razliku od vlaka, koji se zaustavlja na stanicama udaljenim od središta (oko 2-3 km), brodska stajališta nalaze se u samim središtima Beča (Schwedenplatz) i Bratislave (Novy Most).

Kajakom i kanuom

Rijeka Dunav postaje vrlo popularna za višednevne ture. Neki veslaju sve od Njemačke do Crnog mora (više od 2516 km), također poznatog kao TID. Bratislava je dobro razvijena za veslanje. U "Karloveske rameno" postoji nekoliko veslačkih klubova s ​​mogućim smještajem u Veslački klub na riječnom km 1872., blizu "Starog mosta" na r.km 1868. Besplatno kampiranje moguće je uz riječnu obalu; dobra mjesta su oko km 1872 desno, 1864-60 lijevo.

Automobilom

Bratislava leži na granici dviju drugih zemalja i ima relativno dobar cestovni sustav. Do grada mogu pristupiti autoceste (tj. Autocesta s ograničenim pristupom) iz sjeverne Slovačke i Poljske, Češke, Mađarske, kao i Austrije. Kao rezultat, možete proći grad, a da uopće ne morate napustiti autocestu. Kao i u većini zemalja srednje Europe, korištenje autocesta morate platiti. Slično kao u Mađarskoj, plaćanje se vrši elektroničkim putem (tako da na vjetrobranskom staklu ne morate imati naljepnicu) i možete ga kupiti na liniji, na većini benzinskih crpki i u kiosku na granici. Autoceste u granicama grada Bratislave mogu se koristiti besplatno.

Nakon ulaska u grad, uspostavljen je informativni sustav parkiranja koji će vas dovesti do sljedećeg besplatnog parkirnog mjesta. U središtu grada možete koristiti neku od plaćenih podzemnih garaža ili kupiti parking kartu od prodavača u žutim prslucima i pokušati pronaći slobodno mjesto na ulicama. Prva se preporučuje vikendom, jer pronalaženje parkirnog mjesta u jednom smjeru može se pretvoriti u pravu slagalicu za razbijanje glave. Ako nađete mjesto na ulici, a radni je dan između 08:00 i 16:00, morate platiti parking. Mjerači za parkiranje obično su dostupni na uglovima, označeni su plavim i žutim znakom i uzimaju samo kovanice.

Možda bi bilo dobro ostaviti automobil kod Parkiralište Aupark koji također služi kao objekt "Parkiraj i šetaj" za turiste (imajte na umu da su zatvoreni parkirališta kao i dijelovi vanjskog parkirališta zatvoreni od 24: 00-06: 00, ostatak parkirnog mjesta je besplatan 24/7). Ovdje možete ostaviti svoj automobil i prošetati parkom i preko Dunava do centra grada, koji je udaljen 10 minuta šetnje, ili jednostavno koristiti javni prijevoz. Ne preporučuje se ostavljanje automobila u stambenim naseljima izvan središta grada kako bi se izbjeglo plaćanje parkinga, jer strani automobili mogu privući kradljivce automobila.

Iznajmljivanje automobila je također mogućnost, pogotovo ako posjećujete odredišta izvan Bratislave. Sve veće tvrtke za iznajmljivanje imaju štand u zračnoj luci, ali većina ima i gradski ured, a postoji i mnoštvo lokalnih tvrtki za iznajmljivanje automobila, neke čak automobil isporučuju u vaš hotel / apartman. Koristite zdrav razum da odaberete pouzdanog.

Biciklom

Bratislava ima lijepo okruženje za biciklizam, a međunarodna biciklistička ruta vodi duž južne obale rijeke Dunav (Donauradweg ili EuroVelo 6). Ruta od Austrije preko Bratislave do Mađarske dobro je označena, a dostupna je i za pješačenje. Zabranjen je motorizirani prijevoz na biciklističkoj ruti.

Međutim, grad nema puno biciklističkih ruta i vozači automobila ih uglavnom ignoriraju. Postoje milijuni načina da se to učini biciklom u karpatskim brdima i uz rijeke Dunav i Moravu. Pročitajte još u "Učinite" u nastavku.

Karta Bratislave

Općenito, Bratislava je grad koji hoda. Centar je vrlo malen i ugodan, a s njega možete lako prošetati za nekoliko minuta. Centar grada je pješačko područje, ali imajte na umu bicikliste i povremene automobile koji se prilično brzo voze između pješačkih ljudi i kafića na otvorenom.

Javni prijevoz

Tramvaj Škoda 30 T u Bratislavi
Najviše SNP-a, preko Dunava.
Tipični crveni autobus u Bratislavi.

Ako želite putovati izvan centra, koristite tramvaje ili trolejbuse ako trebate brzo doći od jedne do druge točke. Bratislava ima prilično dobru sustav javnog prijevoza uglavnom upravlja gradskim prijevoznikom DPB(web mjesto samo na slovačkom) iako su mnoga njihova vozila prilično stara. Autobusi su najčešće najsporije prijevozno sredstvo. Zaustavlja se obično se moraju tražiti, osim za tramvaje. Da biste ušli u autobus / trolejbus, morate vidljivo stajati na autobusnoj stanici. Za izlaz treba pritisnuti gumb u blizini vrata i vozač će se zaustaviti na sljedećim stajalištima. Vrata autobusa moraju otvoriti putnici (osim nekoliko najstarijih autobusa), samo pritisnite gumb na vratima ili blizu vrata.

Karta za jedno putovanje košta 0,70 €, vrijedi samo 15 minuta. Dostupna je karta s dužom valjanošću za 0,90 € (vrijedi 30 minuta). Sve karte mogu se koristiti za bilo koji broj putovanja unutar određenog vremenskog razdoblja. Ako odsjedate na odmoru, razmislite o kupnji jedne od opcija dugoročnih karata koje vrijede 1, 3 i 7 dana (24, 72 i 168 sati od validacije) za 3,50 €, 8 € i 11,40 € odnosno. Za više informacija o ulaznicama pogledajte IDS BK Web stranica (Integrirani transportni sustav). Bilješka da također trebate kupiti a zasebna karta za vaš kofer ili drugu veliku prtljagu; kupite sniženu kartu od 15 minuta za 0,35 € i to će pokriti vašu prtljagu.

Ti moraš potvrdite svoju kartu u strojevima za provjeru valjanosti u autobusu / tramvaju odmah nakon ulaska (kroz bilo koja vrata). Kada je riječ o dokazivanju da niste prekoračili vrijeme navedeno na vašoj karti (npr. 15 minuta na 15-minutnoj karti), odlučujuća su službena vremena - ne stvarna vremena putovanja (ne popuštajte neprijateljskim inspektorima karata koji tvrde da suprotno). Zakazana vremena putovanja možete saznati u krajnjem lijevom stupcu rasporeda, lijevo od naziva stajališta ili putem interneta (vidi dolje).

Vozači autobusa i tramvaja u Bratislavi nemoj prodajte karte, stoga kartu morate nabaviti prije ulaska u autobus ili tramvaj. Tamo su ulaznica automati na većini stajališta u gradu. Na žutim automatima mogu se koristiti samo kovanice i beskontaktne kreditne kartice (što može biti prilično frustrirajuće ako trebate kupiti dugoročnu kartu), ali na većim stajalištima postoje i novi veliki crveni automati koji prodaju cijeli niz karata i prihvaćaju sve kartice, pa čak i novčanice. SMS ulaznice su također dostupni, ali samo ako SMS poruku s mobitela pošaljete slovačkom SIM karticom, koja isključuje sve kratkoročne strane turiste. SMS karte se ne mogu koristiti na S-vlakovima.

Ako ste kupili povratnu kartu "Eurgion Bratislava-Ticket" u Beču, ona također služi kao propusnica za sav javni prijevoz na datum naveden na karti i ne mora biti potvrđena u javnom prijevozu Bratislave.

Osim automata, karte se prodaju i na mnogim štandovima s vijestima i - vrlo povoljno za putnike koji dolaze vlakom, kasno navečer ili vikendom - na željezničke stanice na šalterima karata (šalter karata 16 na glavnom željezničkom kolodvoru). U svakoj možete kupiti karte za javni prijevoz turistički informativni biro[mrtva veza]. Pokušajte zatražiti Bratislava City Card[mrtva veza] koja kombinira 1 do 3-dnevnu kartu s raznim popustima i dostupna je u informacijskim uredima, ali imajte na umu da je City Card znatno skuplji od samih karata za javni prijevoz, zato budite sigurni da je to najbolja opcija za vas!

Ulaznice se mogu kupiti i putem aplikacije za Android ili iOS.

Postoje 3 glavne točke razmjene u neposrednoj blizini centra grada gdje autobusom ili tramvajem možete doći do bilo kojeg drugog mjesta:

  • Hodžovo námestie (predsjednička palača) za autobusne veze na sjeverozapadu i istoku
  • Námestie SNP / Kamenné námestie (niz pješačko područje ispod Hodžova námestie, na sjevernom rubu središta) za tramvaje
  • Većina SNP-a (blizu katedrale sv. Martina i obala Dunava) za tramvaje i za zapadne autobusne linije, kao i autobusne veze s Petržalkom.

Glavne tramvajske, autobusne i trolejbuske linije prometuju od 04:30 do otprilike 23:30. Ako trebate putovati autobusom noću, idite do glavnog željezničkog kolodvora koji je glavna točka izmjene noćnih linija ili koristite autobusna stajališta u predsjedničkoj palači (Hodzovo námestie). Sve noćne linije imaju uobičajeno vrijeme polaska s glavne željezničke stanice u 23:30, a zatim svakih 60 minuta za svaku liniju i izlazni smjer do 03:30. Neke linije imaju dodatni polazak u ponoć. Trebat će vam noćna karta za 1,40 € u noćnim linijama. Kada putujete noćnim linijama, mora se zatražiti svako zaustavljanje. Osobito oko ponoći petkom i subotom, na autobusima su autobusi često prenatrpani dok se mladi vraćaju iz klubova.

Rute javnog prijevoza ponekad se mijenjaju, posebno zbog kolosijeka i obnove. Primjerice, u lipnju 2019. sve su tramvajske linije potpuno promijenjene. Ako imate stariju kartu, starog turističkog vodiča itd., Šanse da transportne linije (brojevi, odredišta, točke prijevoza) više ne vrijede. Provjerite putem interneta bilo kod službenog IDS BK mjestu ili na neslužbenom iMHD web mjesto koje ima širi raspon karata, informacije na stajalištima (dostupne na engleskom jeziku) ili pitajte svoje suputnike ako niste sigurni.

Ako je potrebno, moguće je i hoda do stanice Petrzalka iz grada (nekih 25 minuta). Put je sada jasno označen, ali imajte na umu da je Petržalka tek malo više od najvećih stambenih naselja u srednjoj Europi. Krenite prema mostu s tornjem nalik letećem tanjuru (Most SNP ili poznat i kao Nový most). Kad dođete do mosta, primijetit ćete da uz donju stranu prolazi pješačka staza za pješake. Jednom s druge strane rijeke Dunav slijedite desnu stranu mosta šetalištem od crvenog pločnika. Ovo će vas odvesti do stanice. Alternativno, možete prošetati Bratislavom ekvivalentom Centralnog parka zvanog Sad Janka Kráľa i posjetiti trgovački centar Aupark u parku. Kad izađete iz Auparka s druge strane, skrenite desno i slijedite ulicu da biste došli do gore spomenutog pločnika. The route is very safe during the day, but for typically western-looking tourists, it might be dangerous at night (although not more than in any other European "panelák" (see above) housing estate). Take a guide, if needed. If you want to walk from the station to the city, turn right outside of the station building and follow the path described above in reverse direction.

Taksiji

Do not take taxis waiting outside of major transfer points and tourist areas, such as main railway station, airport, bus station, Petrzalka train station, in front of Alizee nightbar at the northern corner of the city centre, etc. as they htjeti rip you off. Taxis are cheaper in Bratislava when called in advance than when hailed on street. As a tourist, your best bet is to use one of the apps - Uber i Bolt are both present in Bratislava, although sometimes with longer waiting times compared to other cities. Other reliable taxi apps are Liftago i Hopin, they support both payment by card or cash to the driver if you do not want to enter your card details (payment method has to be selected before ordering the taxi).

This is a monument in memory of Soviet casualties in the liberation battle of Bratislava in World War II. It is the highest place in the city, and thus the best place for viewing the city. Slavin is a cemetery and thus rather quiet. On warm nights it's a very romantic place, allowing you to sit in the shadows of the monument and look at the traffic below. To get there, take trolleybus no. 203 from Hodžovo námestie (in front of the Presidential Palace) in the direction Búdková and get off in 9 minutes at the last stop, then walk 500 m along Stará vinárska and then Pažického streets.

Čini

Main Square during the New Year's Eve celebration, 2006

Take a stroll through the centre of the town. Bratislava has one of the smallest historical centers of any European capital but the charm is more concentrated. The streets have been completely renovated over the last ten years, bringing life back here. Since then a multitude of cafes, bars and restaurants of all kinds have opened here, accompanied by a few souvenir shops and fashion stores. On warm days almost every cafe has an outdoor seating section in the street, bustling with life and giving the city a unique cozy feeling.

When it comes to sightseeing, Bratislava Castle generally is a must and is already opened after the reconstruction. You can visit also Slavin memorial for some really astounding views of the city. It's a calm and romantic spot but beware, it can get really windy up there. The City Museum located in the Old Town Hall offers visitors climbing up the steep stairwells of the clock tower or seeing the town's historical dungeons, an exhibition that was quite outdated but still scary in 2008.

In summer, you can also visit Bratislava Zoo, providing a nice walk between the animal enclosures, the latest addition being some rare white tigers. The facilities of the zoo are slowly being renovated to attract more visitors and the zoo is a favourite for families on sunny days. You can also go to the Botanical Gardens of Comenius University (Botanická 3, take tram X6 to stop Botanická záhrada) for quiet and peaceful strolls in this green space. There are also several lakes opened for bathing. The biggest and probably the most famous lake is called Zlaté piesky (Golden Lakes) or Vajnorské jazerá, known as Bager lake (the later is used for bating only unofficially).

For a relaxed afternoon in the park, head either to Sad Janka Kráľa park (on the right bank of the river Danube and next to Aupark shopping centre), the oldest public park in central Europe, relax at the embankments on both sides of the river or head to Horský park (Forest Park) north off Slavin memorial for a civilized stroll through the forest. There's a small café here as well as a pub, the latter mostly populated by students from the nearby campus. For a more outdoorsy experience, hop on bus No 203/213 to Koliba and walk up to Kamzík (takes about 30 minutes uphill) or try the newly renovated facilities of Partizánska lúka and Snežienka, all with extensive picknicking areas and loads of fireplaces for grilling. The area is several kilometers long and you can either walk here from the terminal station of bus No 212 (Vojenska nemocnica) or take a bus to Patronka and use bus No 43 driving up the area and back every 15–30 minutes (depending on time of day/year as well as weather). Only cars with a permit can enter the area but there is a parking lot at the entrance, close to a bus stop. Snezienka's grass fields and the top of Kamzik hill are connected with a chairlift, operating Thursdays through Sundays and on holidays, the price for one ride being approx. €3.

In December, be sure to indulge in the scents and flavours of the traditional Christmas Market in front of Old Town Hall and on the Hlavne namestie (main square). The market - compared to the ones in Prague and Vienna - is smaller, but has a much friendlier, almost family-like atmosphere and feels much more traditional and less overtly commercialized than others in the region. The people of Bratislava love to meet here for a drink and a bite to eat; try the 'varene vino' (mulled wine).

Kultura

Bratislava is the home of the world famous Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra so if you love classical music, you should consider attending one of the concerts in the historic Reduta building. For more cultural indulgence, the Slovak National Theatre offers a wide selection on ballet, opera and theatre performances. Although most of the activities have been moved to a city-district-in-the-making on the banks of the Danube, some performances are still being held in the historical theatre building, which gives them a unique feeling but a higher price tag as well. The old theatre building is right in the middle of the city at Hviezdoslavovo namestie. The new theatre is accessible by bus No 88 from the Coach Terminal at Mlynske nivy (get off at Landererova) or by buses No 50, 70 and 78 (stop is called Wüstenrot). None of these stop directly at the theatre though, so you should count on a 5-10 minute walk from the bus stop to the theatre. You cannot miss the building as it is of unmistakably communist megalomaniac design covered in white marble. The entrance is facing the Danube so you need to walk around the building to get in.

Sportski

  • Gledaj nogomet ie soccer at SK Slovan Bratislava, who play in Slovak Super Liga, the country's top tier of football. Their home ground is Pasiensky, capacity 11,600, 2 km northeast of the old city centre.
  • Hokej is the national sport of Slovakia. The local hockey team, HC Slovan Bratislava, plays games frequently throughout each year beginning in September and concluding in the spring of the following year. Since this team plays in KHL league, even more Slovaks started visiting its matches. Home games are played at Ondrej Nepela Arena stadium, Odbojárov 9. Many Slovaks are passionate about both watching and playing ice hockey. The stadium can be reached easily by public transport.
  • Adventure sports:Bungee jumping from the Lafranconi bridge has become very popular among Slovaks as well as tourists in the last couple of years. Another popular activity among locals and tourists especially during a stag party is target shooting in Bratislava and its near vicinity. For some extreme adventure in the pure nature Slovaks and visitors can try to sail the river Small Danube in a canoe. Water sports in general are among the most beloved sports activities with many successful sportsmen such as the Hochschorner brothers.

Meet people

Over the last two decades, many foreigners have been moving to Bratislava to study and work at the many international companies that created new jobs. After work, many expatriates and their Slovak friends hang out at casual events where everybody speaks English and enjoys the evening together. For travelers to Bratislava, joining these usually free events is an excellent and fun opportunity to meet local people and learn from them about what one should see or do in Bratislava next day.

A few recommendations are:

Bratislava Language Exchange Meeting, where people from different countries get together at tables and teach each other a foreign language.

Slovakia is a member of the European Union, therefore, any citizen of a European Union, European Economic Area country or Switzerland can work and live there without restrictions.

Qualified third nationals can get a work permit. This system still uses bribes.

The Paparazzo statue which stood in the Old Town until 2013 has been moved to Restaurant UFO.

Bryndzové halušky (small, spaetzle-like dumplings with sheep's cheese and topped with pieces of meat) is the national dish of Slovakia and recommended to try. Potent garlic soup (but perhaps not on a date) and Slovak white wine (due to its cooler climate, Slovakia's reds pale in comparison with some of Europe's other offerings), schnitzels, goulashes and other typically Central European foods. Fresh vegetables are more common here thanks to the large amount of land given over to agriculture.

In December, don't miss the Christmas market in front of the Old Town Hall. The traditional foods of the Christmas market are roasted pork or chicken sandwich burgers ("ciganska pecienka") with mustard and onions, potato pancakes ("loksa") with various fillings ranging traditionally from plain ones with goose fat, with garlic or goose liver to poppy seed, nut or chocolate. Bread with pork fat and onions is also popular. Also there are a few stands which offer specialities from other European countries. You can wash down the food with a cup of red or white mulled wine or a small cup of honey wine, also tea with or without rum is available, as well as grog or other "hot mixed drinks" like the Červený medveď (red bear).

There are a large number of restaurants in the center of Bratislava in all price ranges so there are plenty to choose from.

Proračun

Of course, junk food can be found in Bratislava, too. Try Bratislava's special form of junk food - a richman which is a big bread roll filled with cabbage and cheese and/or meat with mayonnaise. Richman stands can be found on Kamenné námestie, in front of the Tesco building, and in Safarikovo square. You can also try a sub sandwich from one of the many cafeterias in the city. Another excellent cafeteria is on Zelená Ulica between Ventúrska Ulica and Hlavné námestie. A big sandwich, a bageta (from the French baguette) with cheese, ham and eggs would cost you about €1.50.

Another specialty in Bratislava (but also available in other regions of Slovakia) is treska. It is a cold salad made of codfish with mayonnaise. There are vegetables like onions and carrots in the salad too. It has a very distinct taste, somewhere between sour and bitter - you should try it! You can buy it fresh in most "Lahôdky" shops, which means something like "delicacies", but generally stands for old-fashioned fast food shops - they sell salads, soups, etc. instead of hamburgers or French fries. Treska tastes very good with rolls. If you like the taste of Treska, you can also buy it packed to take home.

If you want to self-cater, the largest supermarket near the centre is Tesco on Kamenné námestie (at the junction of Štúrova and Špitálska). You could easily have lunch consisting of a couple of bread rolls, ham, cheese, fruit and maybe a cake or two, for €3-4. New American-type shopping malls with big cinemas and of course food courts within reach of the center are Aupark on the right bank of the Danube (next to Sad Janka Kráľa park, some 10 minutes from St. Martins's Cathedral), Eurovea (next to the old bridge on the old town bank of river, close to the bus station), Polus City Center on Vajnorská Street to the north of the city (some 10–15 minutes from the city by tram) and Bory Mall on the north-western edge of town.

Hlavné námestie (Main Square), Bratislava Old Town

Probati Kofola, a Slovak and Czech soft drink with a similar colour to Coca-Cola, but lower in sugar and caffeine (and carbonation). Some places serve "draft Kofola" which indeed is draft from a barrel in a way similar to beer (it used to be co-produced by a Bratislava brewery). Some Slovaks say draft Kofola is even better than the bottled version and that it is best enjoyed outside in the sun, for example after a hike or a bike or rollerblade ride. Kofola is a popular alternative to beer if you want to hang out but don't want to drink alcohol. Vinea is another genuine Slovak soft drink made from grapes, offered both in "white" (green grapes) and "red" varieties (red grapes) and even in a rather sweet and maybe not-so-tasty "soft" version without carbon dioxide.

There are quite a few Slovak beer brands, e.g. Zlatý Bažant, Šariš, Smädný Mních and Topvar. Stein beer is a local Bratislava variety which used to be brewed practically in the city centre. There are three micro-breweries offering beer in Bratislava, Mestiansky Pivovar, Richtar Jakub and Patronka.

If spirits are more your thing, perhaps you will enjoy Slivovica, a fruit-plums brandy of high quality that is associated with Slovakia.

Barovi

The best pubs offering Slovak beers can be found in the Old Town: Kristian in Michalska street, Bar Parada in Hviezdoslavovo square, or AeroPressoDepresso in Venturska street. All of them are quite cheap (about €1 per half-liter glass of beer).

Klubovi

Larger clubs in Bratislava include Loft, KC Dunaj, Dvostrani i SubClub, the latter a former nuclear bunker located under Bratislava Castle. There are many smaller bars with dancefloors closer to the centre, such as Radost on Obchodná Street, next to the Slovak Pub.

Telefon

When making international calls, you need to dial 00, then the country code of the country you are calling. The international code of Bratislava is 421 2, the national one is 02. You don't need to use any of these when making local calls. There mostly are cardphones in phone booths, coin phones are located e.g. in front of the telecoms office (T-Centrum) on Namestie SNP (Dunaj department store) or at Kolarska ulica. You can purchase phone cards at most newspaper kiosks and in any of the T-Centers.

Phone numbers beginning with 090, 091, 094 or 095 are mostly mobile numbers. All of Bratislava is covered with a 3G and 4G network, the operators being naranča, T-Mobile i O2. In parts of Bratislava (mostly up on the hills), mobile phones sometimes switch to Hungarian or Austrian providers, so it is better to check the network name before dialing.

Internet

You can use internet for free at the information bureau in the old town.

There are several internet cafes in the city, most of them hidden. You can try to get to one of the internet access portals in the T-Centrum on Namestie SNP or in Aupark Shopping Center.

If you have a notebook computer, you can use multiple wireless hotspots throughout the city. Some of them are paid and you need to obtain a user name and password in order to use them. Some hotels, cafes and restaurants provide free Wi-Fi to their customers. Besides that, the heart of the city center (Hlavné námestie, Františkánske námestie, Primaciálne námestie) is covered by a small public wireless network provided by the city council and this is free to use. There are also other places with free Wi-Fi throughout the city. Free Wi-Fi is also available in most of the new trams, buses and trolleybuses. A full list of these can be found on the website of the Slovak Telecoms Office.

Ostati siguran

Bratislava is generally very safe by Western standards. It is quite small and the crime rate is low. There is a significant police presence in the city, especially the historical parts, and it is generally not a problem to walk around the city at night. The centre especially is under camera surveillance.

There is very little violent crime in Bratislava. Walking alone after midnight outside of the historical centre is not recommended on Fridays, since you could have an unpleasant encounter with rowdy drunks who could congregate around cheaper establishments. If a problem occurs, you can reach the police on phone number 158. General emergency number (police, fire dept., ambulance) can be reached by dialing 112.

Always ask for printed receipts in establishments to avoid being overcharged. Especially taxi drivers might try to do that. For reference, the usual fare is around €4 around the town, and you shouldn't be charged more than around €10 getting anywhere in Bratislava. Your best bet is to call a taxi dispatch or use one of the mobile apps (see above). Ask around for a recommendation in your hotel/hostel.

On pedestrian crossings without traffic lights, watch out for aggressive drivers. Some of them might not give you the right of way.
