Hello, I travel with my bicycle. Is it possible to take it in the bus? From Bratislava city centre to the airport.
Thanks in advance
Dear Antonis,
You will need to check that information directly with the bus carrier. However, due to the high tourist season, my predictions are that it probably won’t be possible to bring a bicycle into the bus.
Best regards,
