- [How many days do I need in Bratislava?](https://taply.sk/how-many-days-in-bratislava/): Two days is the best length for most visitors: one day covers the Old Town, castle and river, and the second adds Devín Castle, the Blue Church or a day trip.

- [Day trip from Vienna to Bratislava](https://taply.sk/day-trip-from-vienna-to-bratislava/): The easiest day trip from Vienna to Bratislava for a group or family is a private transfer with Kiwitaxi, while the regional train is the cheapest and most popular choice for solo travellers.

- [Can I visit the High Tatras without a car?](https://taply.sk/high-tatras-without-a-car/): You can visit the High Tatras without a car: take a train to Poprad-Tatry, then ride the Tatra Electric Railway to Starý Smokovec, Tatranská Lomnica or Štrbské Pleso, which covers most of the popular sights.

- [Is Slovakia expensive?](https://taply.sk/is-slovakia-expensive/): Slovakia is generally cheaper than Austria and often comparable to or a little pricier than its other neighbours, but it varies by city, season and what you buy.
- [Is Slovakia safe?](https://taply.sk/is-slovakia-safe/): Yes, Slovakia is generally a safe country for tourists, and the main risks are petty theft in busy areas and mountain hazards rather than violent crime.
- [Best time to visit Slovakia](https://taply.sk/best-time-to-visit-slovakia/): The best time to visit Slovakia is May to June or September to early October, and comparing flights on Aviasales is the first step to catch a low fare.
- [What do I need to enter Slovakia?](https://taply.sk/slovakia-entry-requirements/): Slovakia is in the Schengen Area, so the entry rules are the Schengen rules: EU, EEA and Swiss citizens need a valid passport or national ID card, and many other nationalities can visit visa-free for short stays, while others need a Schengen visa.
- [Flight delayed in Bratislava or Vienna: compensation](https://taply.sk/flight-delay-compensation/): If your flight to or from Slovakia was delayed by three hours or more, you may be owed up to 600 EUR under EU rule EU261, and AirHelp is a well-known service that can check and handle the claim for you.

- [7-day Slovakia itinerary](https://taply.sk/slovakia-itinerary-7-days/): The best 7 day Slovakia itinerary runs west to east from Bratislava through central Slovakia and the High Tatras to Spiš and Košice, and a rental car from QEEQ ties it together.
- [Best hikes in the High Tatras](https://taply.sk/best-hikes-in-the-high-tatras/): The best hikes in the High Tatras range from easy walks to Popradské pleso and the Studenovodské waterfalls to demanding ridge routes such as Rysy, and the most practical first step is to have insurance that covers mountain hiking.
- [How do I get from Vienna to Bratislava?](https://taply.sk/vienna-to-bratislava/): The easiest way from Vienna to Bratislava is a pre-booked private transfer, and Kiwitaxi is our top pick, but the train from Wien Hauptbahnhof is the best-value choice for most travellers and arrives right in the city.
- [What to do with a few hours in Bratislava (layover)](https://taply.sk/bratislava-layover/): With a layover of under four hours, stay at the station or airport; with five hours you can see the Old Town if you start from Bratislava Airport or the main train station; and with eight hours or more it is realistic to come from Vienna Airport.
- [3-day Slovakia itinerary](https://taply.sk/slovakia-itinerary-3-days/): Three days in Slovakia works best as one region, not the whole country: either Bratislava plus the High Tatras by train, or a loop through western Slovakia by car.
- [5-day Slovakia itinerary](https://taply.sk/slovakia-itinerary-5-days/): The best 5-day Slovakia itinerary runs west to east: one night in Bratislava, one in Trenčín, two in the High Tatras, and a final day in Košice or Levoča.
- [Day trip to the High Tatras from Bratislava](https://taply.sk/high-tatras-day-trip-from-bratislava/): A day trip from Bratislava to the High Tatras is possible, but it is a long day: the road is about 330 km and each way takes roughly 3.5 to 4.5 hours by car or 4 to 5 hours by train to Poprad-Tatry, which leaves only three to four hours in the mountains.
- [Easy hikes in the High Tatras](https://taply.sk/easy-hikes-in-the-high-tatras/): The easiest hikes in the High Tatras are the flat lake loop at Štrbské Pleso, the path from Hrebienok to the Studenovodské waterfalls and a walk to Popradské pleso, a glacial lake at 1,494 m.
- [First day in Bratislava](https://taply.sk/first-day-in-bratislava/): The best first day in Bratislava is a walk through the compact Old Town, with bags dropped first and a self-guided audio tour from WeGoTrip to give the streets context.
- [Landing at Vienna Airport, going to Slovakia](https://taply.sk/vienna-airport-arrival-guide/): If you land at Vienna Airport and are heading to Slovakia, the simplest plan is a pre-booked transfer to Bratislava, which takes about an hour over roughly 57 km, with a Kiwitaxi driver waiting at arrivals.
