Car rental Bratislava Region

Nestled along the borders of Austria and Hungary, the Bratislava Region is an appealing fusion of history, culture, and natural beauty. Bratislava, the capital city, captivates with its charming old town while the surrounding countryside reveals the grandeur of its castles and natural reserves.

Fun Facts For Brits

The Bratislava Region is the smallest but most densely populated region in Slovakia. And just to set the record, London is approximately two times larger than the entire Bratislava Region!

Car Hire Recommendations

A four-wheel-drive is perfect for the rugged terrains in the country areas. However, if you plan to drive mostly around Bratislava, a compact or mid-sized car would work just fine.

Driving Tips

• Right-hand Traffic: Unlike in the UK, remember that you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road in Slovakia.
• Zero Tolerance: Slovakia has a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence of alcohol.
• Daytime Lights: Vehicles must use their headlights all year round during every hour.

Must-Visit Places

1. Bratislava Old Town: Explore the nicely preserved medieval town square with its narrow lanes, beautiful palaces, and churches.
2. Devin Castle: This historic castle located on a rock overlooking the Danube River offers a splendid panoramic view.
3. Small Carpathians: Known for wine-growing, this mountain range is ideal for hiking and exploring charming wine villages.

Marvel At the Seasons

The Bratislava Region experiences a continental climate, boasting warm summers and chilly, but not extreme, winters. Imagine the charm of snowy castles or the colourful autumn vineyards!

Currency & Exchange

The official currency is the Euro (€). You'll find plenty of exchange offices (mena) throughout Bratislava but it's always wise to compare rates before making an exchange.

Festivals and Events

From the traditional 'Christmas Market' to the delightful 'Junifest' beer festival, there's a host of annual events that will make your drive-around visit even more memorable.

So strap up, rent your preferred set of wheels, and kickstart an unforgettable road trip through the picturesque lands of the Bratislava Region!
