Many of Europe’s busiest train routes pass through or very near Slovakia. It is very simple
to reach Slovakia from neighbouring countries. There are also regular trains directly to and from
some cities in Germany, Italy and Russia. Generally, the train fares are very low. The train network
in Slovakia is well developed, and trains are the most comfortable way to travel. Check out the web
site of Slovak Railways for a train schedule available in english version.
By bus
Eurobus
Most countries in Europe are connected with Slovak destinations by regular service,
usually direct (Eurolines provides service from 21 European towns).
By car
ŽIlina - there is map if you click on highlighted text.
Slovakia is now in the process of connecting it's key cities by highways, but this project will
not be complete for few more years.
However, smaller roads are generally in good condition.
Roads are marked as in Western Europe.
You don’t have to pay any taxes or fees (only at highways you need to buy highway ticket).
Hitch-hiking is common, and legal except major highways but we don't recommend
Public transport in Žilina
There are two ways how to find when and where is leaving any bus in ŽIlina.
For example you will search from rail station in ŽIlina - Železničná stanica(1. bus stop) to Hliny dormitory - Hlinská(2. bus stop)
First web site to search for buses.
Second website to search for buses.
I, the president of ESN, personally use first one beacuse it's simple and easy to find everything, but we wanted to give you more options.
Regular bus transport starts around 5 am and finishes around 11:00 pm.
