Slovakia is a relatively small, but at the same time quite interesting country to visit. There is no sea here, but it is on its territory that excellent ski resorts are located. And if you like to feel the speed and frost on your cheeks, then a trip to Slovakia is exactly what you need.
Public transport
You can get around the cities using buses, trolleybuses and trams. If we compare the cost of tickets for intercity buses and trains, then traveling by buses turns out to be somewhat more expensive. But at the same time, the bus service connects a much larger number of cities. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket offices of the airport terminals or directly from the bus driver.
Certain discounts are available for students and young people. It should also be borne in mind that a weekend trip will cost less than a trip on weekdays.
Taxi
Taxis can be found in any city in the country. Each car is equipped with a meter, but since the country's cities are relatively small, taxis are not particularly popular.
Air transport

The cost of the flight is 40-60 euros. It depends on the workload of the flight, as well as the time of purchase of the ticket.
