| Public Transport Compared to most Western European capitals, Bratislava is relatively small, making all major sites within easy walking distance from a well located apartment. However, if you'd like to explore Bratislava's farther flung areas, or if your accommodation is out from the city center, the easiest and cheapest way to get around is by public transport. Mass transport in Bratislava is well organized, the buses, trams, and trolley buses run about every 10-15 minutes, and usually aren't crowded apart from the morning and afternoon rush hours. The day tickets are valid for 15 or 60 minutes, and separate tourist tickets are also available.You can buy tickets at tobacconists or from ticket machines. If you are arriving by train it's a good idea to buy a 24 hour tourist ticket at the station.
