High Tatras Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Few buses go directly to the Tatra resort towns from far afield, for most you will need to switch in Poprad. Trainwise, you can change in Poprad from the main Bratislava–Kosice line to take the electric train to mountain resorts, or you could switch at Tatranská Štrba, and take the ozubnicová železnica (cog railway) up to Štrbské Pleso.

Poprad airport has a few London-bound flights each week.
