Buy the 60-MINUTE ticket, not the 30. The bus is timetabled at 27 minutes on most weekday runs, the ticket must be valid when you board, and the Old Town is another ride beyond the station. EUR 1.80 removes the whole problem.

A checked bag needs its own EUR 0.60 ticket. The free allowance is smaller than most cabin luggage.

From three people with luggage, the Slovak Lines shuttle to Nivy is cheaper — EUR 1.35 a head with bags included.

The SMS ticket is the same price and lasts 40 minutes, but only works from a Slovak mobile number.

This is the answer to a late arrival, and it costs the same EUR 1.20 as the day bus.

Hourly, so check the clock: missing the 00:52 means the 01:52.

Many airports have a real night gap. This one does not.
