Central Slovakia Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Slovakia’s main train line, connecting Bratislava and Košice, cuts across the top third of Central Slovakia, allowing fast connections to Žilina and Martin. Because of the steep valleys and limited train runs, it’s best to take the bus if you’re going straight to the region’s more central towns and cities. Though the train journey from Košice to Banská Bystrica, along the southern border of the Low Tatras, is quite rewarding.
