How to get to Bratislava Airport (BTS) by public transport from Bratislava, as well as by buses from Vienna and Vienna Airport.
With the advent of the low-cost Moscow-Bratislava flight of the Pobeda airline, the question of how to get to the Stefanik airport from Vienna and from Bratislava itself has become relevant.
How to get to Bratislava Airport
You can get from Bratislava to the airport by public transport, but not always by direct transport, so you will have to make transfers.
You can check the schedule and plan your route around the city using the city transport of Bratislava. Below are not all transfer options, only the most common ones that work both ways. Tickets can be bought in special machines, both at the airport and at major stations.
Public transport in Bratislava Airport
There are 2-day buses 61, 96 and 1-night bus N61 running to Bratislava Airport. The night bus leaves every hour from 00:00 to 04:00.
Of Štefánik Airport (stop Letisko or Airport) to the city or vice versa, the tourist will be interested in three main stops, depending on the purpose of the visit - sightseeing of Bratislava or further transfer.
- Bratislava Castle (stop. New bridge - Most SNP) to start sightseeing.
- Bus station (stop Autobusová Stanica) - for further transfer.
- railway station (stop Hlavná stanica or Central Railway Station) - for onward transfer.
To get from the airport directly to Bratislava Castle or to stop New bridge you will need to change from bus 61 to tram 4 or from bus 96 to 70. Buses 96-70 also work in the opposite direction from New bridge at The airport... For this route, you will need to buy a 60 minute ticket for 1.2 € for 3 zones.
There is only one option to get from the airport at night, by changing from the N61 to the N33 night bus. The bus connection also works in the opposite direction. To travel, you need to buy a 30-minute ticket for 0.9 € for 2 zones.
Everything is much simpler here than with Bratislava Castle, during the day a direct bus # 61 goes directly from the airport to the railway station, but at night you will have to change from N61 to N33. The trip will cost 0.9 €, you need to buy a 30 minute ticket for 2 zones.
It's also not that simple, at night you can take the direct night bus N61, and during the day you will have to change buses from 61 to 21, this combination works in the opposite direction. During the day, you need to buy a 60 minute ticket for € 1.2 for 3 zones, and at night, a 30 minute ticket for € 0.9 for 2 zones is enough.

Do I need a visa to enter the city
Long-term docking is a rarity for the transport hub of Bratislava. Usually, the transfer does not take more than one hour. But even if this happens, and the passenger does not have a Schengen visa, he is prohibited from entering the city. It should only be in a special transit area.
If there are no problems with documents, then you should still go to Bratislava only when there is a sufficiently long break between flights. Based on practice, the margin of time should be at least 8 hours. This is enough to get out of the terminal, get to the city, wander there for a couple of hours and calmly return back to undergo pre-flight procedures.
When the time for a transplant is much less, then the risk is certainly not worth it.
Which airlines fly
The transport hub is the base for such air carriers:
- Air Slovakia;
- CSA - Czech Airlines;
- Danube Wings;
- Travel Service Slovakia.
In addition, here I accept flights from Ryanair, FlyDubai, Astra Airlines.
From the Ivanka airport, flights are carried out practically throughout Europe. 
The air gate of Bratislava, opened in 1951, is located outside the eastern border of the city near the village of Danube Ivanka. Hence the unofficial name - Ivanka airport.
Due to the low cost of maintenance, the terminal is popular with tourists traveling to Vienna. Therefore, the port administration intends in the near future to combine it into a single complex with Schwechat airport, which is located in Austria, south of Vienna.
