- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €25 - €35. Use the official taxi rank in front of the terminal or a booking app such as Bolt or Uber. Confirm the price before getting in and refuse unlicensed drivers who approach you inside the arrivals hall.
- Best alternative: Bus 61 to the main train station (Hlavná stanica), then tram into the centre (€1.10)
- Validate your ticket in the yellow validator on board immediately after boarding. Mobile tickets in the official IDS BK app are activated at purchase and shown to inspectors on request. Failure to validate counts as travelling without a ticket. Fine without a valid ticket: €50.
- Round up or leave about 10% in restaurants if service was good. Not mandatory. Taxi drivers are generally not tipped beyond rounding up the fare.
- Service is normally included in the bill but a small tip is still customary. Check the bill for any added cover or service charge, and ask to see the menu with prices before ordering if none is displayed.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion when prompted at an ATM or card terminal. Prefer ATMs attached to major bank branches. Independent street ATMs, especially near the old town, often charge high fees, so check the fee screen before withdrawing.
