Being Slovakia’s largest city, Bratislava serves as an administrative, cultural and economic centre. This makes it somewhat of a popular destination especially at certain times of the year. From Bratislava Airport, you can easily get a Rent-a-Car service from any of the several companies pitched camp at the arrivals terminus. Due to the high competition among players in the Car Rental field, services are top-notch including a very helpful customer care service with most even offering customer support is several different languages; just to give them that niche over their fellow competitors. Before renting a car, however, be conversant with the country’s traffic regulations and laws.
Begin by noting, for instance, that driving in Bratislava, just like in the whole of Europe, is done on the right hand side of the road. The country, however, has a stern intolerance for driving under the influence, with the accepted alcohol blood limit being 0.0mg per ml. Yes, you read that right, nada. Zilch. Rather a bummer if you intend to partake in the Bratislava Beer Fest held in June but then again, maybe this is the whole reason behind the zero-tolerance for drunk driving. During the Daylight Saving Time; falling within the period between 15th October to 15th March, all drivers on the road should use full headlights for enhanced visibility. While around the city, there are a number of parking zones so that should not be an issue when you have a Car Hire rental and what’s more, parking is absolutely free on weekends, well, except for a few residential areas.
Rent-a-Car and take the 15-minute drive from the Bratislava Airport, SK to the city centre. Being an old medieval centre, the city is a rich hub of cultural heritage; beginning with the Bratislava Castle, which houses the Slovak National Historical museum. Behind the castle is a hill, atop which stands slavin - the best sight-seeing site in the whole of this wonderful city. This position gives one a 360⁰ panoramic view of this vibrant city.
Saint Martin’s Cathedral is a Gothic-style building and takes pride in being one of the oldest and largest churches in the country. Bratislava also has a sizzling nightlife with many clubs, discotheques and pubs. Whether you want a cold beer, or a chilled bottle of wine or even just a cool cocktail, this city has just what it takes to complete your vacation. A must try – grab yourself a 6-pack, get into your Car Hire rental and drive to Slavin then just sit there sipping on your beer and watching the city down below; priceless experience.
