Travel by train

The national rail service has a good website with schedule information (see below), though it is best to double-check schedule information at train stations in person if possible. Where possible, choose InterCity ("IC") or EuroCity ("EC") trains, which are much more comfortable. In general, trains are more comfortable than buses, although toilets on non-IC or -EC trains are primitive.

The following are the official websites in English and German from Slovak Railways (ZSR). This gives reliable information for point-to-point travel. You can also check between any city in Europe and the Slovak city of your destination.
