If you are travelling to Bratislava, you can fly to the Bratislava airport (airport code: BTS) or the Vienna airport (airport code: VIE). The Vienna airport has considerably better offer of flights.

From Bratislava airport you can take a taxi (use the phone, it's cheaper), or take the bus #61 and then change to bus #39 at the Bajkalska station. Get off the bus at the station ZOO and simply follow the PyCon stickers up to the hill to the university campus.

If you travel via Vienna airport, there are direct and cheap bus connections from early morning till midnight. One way ticket costs about 8 EUR and if you buy in advance, the ticket may be considerably cheaper. There are three airport shuttle buses between Vienna airport and Bratislava: SlovakLines (red buses), Blaguss (silver buses) and RegioJet (Yellow busses).

By car

• Arriving from Vienna, choose the direction Schwechat on A4 highway, then turn to highway A6 leading to Bratislava. After crossing the border you will soon enter Bratislava, then follow the direction Praha/Brno. Right after crossing the river of Danube leave the highway and follow the road along the highway. After several hundreds of meters you will get to the crossroad where you should turn left and cross the highway you have left a minute ago. After the bridge there is another crossroad where you turn right and immediately turn slightly left up the hill towards the university campus.
• From Budapest, take the highway M1 heading to Gyor, follow this route until you see signs for highway M15 heading to Slovakia and Bratislava. After crossing the border follow the direction Praha or Brno according to instructions above.
• If you drive from Prague, take the highway D1 to Brno, once in Brno take the highway D2 heading to Slovakia and Bratislava. After arriving to Bratislava follow the highway and leave it at the exit Mlynska dolina after passing the tunnel. Be cautious, the exit is located right after the tunnel, so you should stay in the right lane while in tunnel.
• From eastern and southern Poland choose your way to Katowice. From there follow the road to Cadca, Slovakia. Follow the road all the way to Zilina, then switch to the highway D1 to Bratislava. After arriving to Bratislava, you should pass the river of Danube twice following the direction Praha/Brno, then leave the highway following the instructions above.

By bus

All neighbouring capital cities Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw and Kyiv have direct bus connections.

Most of the buses will bring you to the main bus station - Mlynske Nivy. It is currently located in temporary location, so don't worry and keep calm if you arrive feeling like on construction site. Leave the area towards the blue oval building VUB (next to the building with BMW logo) where you find the station of city bus lines. Public transport is currently very limited due to the constructions. Even it is not shortest, we do recommend trolley bus to the main train station (and follow the instructions for train).
