You can reach the main sights in Bratislava on foot, you can go to the Danubia Meulensteen Art Museum by boat and to the castle of Devín by bus. But if you want to see the Červený Kameň castle, explore the little Carpathian mountains or simply don’t have enough time to wait for ships and busses, it is time for car rental.
Renting a car in Bratislava is not as cheap as you might suspect and the main problem is, that the car rental companies are all located at the airport. Luckily, Sixt has a meet & greet service at the Hotel Aston on Bajkalkská. If you don’t won’t to use public transport, it is a 40 minutes walk from the historic city center. But why not explore some suburbs?
The only drawback was, that the navigation system was only in Slovakian language and could not be switched to English. That’s why I had to use my new knowledge about Slavian languages to use the system, which worked out well – only the audio announcements were really useless to me. 🙂
