I always research the destinations to which I intend to travel with books and maps. I normally use Fodor's as I find their guidebooks very informative and easy to read and understand. Click on the Amazon logo to search for travel books and maps. If you don't find what you are looking for, click on the Getting Away Travel Bookshelf to find some of my favorites!

Getting Around In Slovakia
By Air
By Train and Bus
By Car


By Air
For the most part, flying is not the better way to get around within Slovakia. Except for long journeys, the bus is much better. There are frequent departures and the road network criss-crosses the county.

By Train and Bus
In some cases there is no choice but to take the bus or drive yourself. Traveling by bus is the only practical way to get to Bled and Bohinj, the Julian Alps and much of the coastal areas from Ljubljana. If you plan to travel on a Friday afternoon, it is suggested that you make reservations as this is when many students leave Ljubljana for the weekend.

As for traveling by train, except for the new ICS express train between Ljubljana and Maribor, travel by rail is best left to sightseers with one of the best rides being the pretty scenery through the Soca Valley.

By Car
Driving a car is probably your best bet if you want to get to some of the more isolated towns and villages in Slovakia. You will find most of the rental prices are reasonable with rental agencies at Brnik Airport and in Ljubljana. The country's tolls and gas prices (petrol) relatively inexpensive. Slovakians drive on the right side of the road.

 

Want a car, but don't want to rent. If you need a car for at least 17 days, and you are at least 18 years old, Getting Away and Auto Europe can hook you up with a new Peugeot through the exclusive Peugeot Buy Back Program. In Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand and Spain, you can even rent a motor home.
