If you plan to go to Bratislava by air, you might want to land at the Milan Rastislav Stefanik Airport, which is located some 30 minutes worth of drive from the Bratislava center. It is relatively a small airport, but it can accommodate larger jets. The good thing about this airport lies on its low profile. The airlines that use Bratislava charges smaller airfare, and the parking rates are smaller. The lines are shorter and the walkways are shorter, thereby less exhaustion on your part. There is a shuttle service that transfers passengers to the main train station, as well as to a major international airport in Vienna.

From here, you can use other modes of transportation to travel around the city. If you want, you can rent a car from various car rentals in Slovakia like Hertz, Europcar, Dollar, Thrifty, Sixt, National, Budget and Advantage. You can either plan for it then reserve your car before you land in Bratislava, or you can have it when you’ve landed. Having a car for you to drive around the country reduces the hassle and inconvenience of traveling in the country and maximizes the time you can spent for things much more important than waiting in line in a bus stop.
