Punctual as never before from the Caravaggio Airport in Orio al Serio (Bg) at 14.00 my plane no. FR4642 of the Ryanair Company to the international airport of Bratislava-Ivankaa_Ružinov (Slovak Republic). Return ticket price including taxes, with hand luggage only: Euro 69.34.

 

Food and drinks are served on the aforementioned aircraft but only for a fee.

 

 

Punctual arrival at 3.25 pm, at the international airport of Bratislava-Ivankaa_Ružinov (Slovak Republic), located 9 km north-east of the center of Bratislava.

 

When summer time is in force in Italy, summer time is also in force in Austria and the Slovak Republic and therefore there is no time zone.

 

To enter the Slovak Republic and Austria, an identity card is sufficient as both countries are within the European Community and the Shengen area.

 

Both in Austria and in the Slovak Republic there is the Euro.

 

Both in Austria and in the Slovak Republic many people speak English and all the writings on the road and tourist signs are well understood.

 

 

I rented the car via the Internet through the Budget Company, at a price of Euro 14.72 per day (including the compulsory Vignette for driving on the Slovakian Motorways), for a Skoda with only 1,000 km to the credit. I picked up the car at the international airport of Bratislava-Ivankaa_Ružinov (Slovak Republic). The deposit that is retained on your credit card is Euro 800.

 

Gasoline cost Austria: Euro 1.20 per liter.

 

Slovak Republic petrol cost: Euro 1,203 per liter.

 

To travel on the motorways of Austria and Slovakia, the Vignette is mandatory with a different cost depending on the duration. Logically, it takes a different Vignette for each country (one for Austria and one for Slovakia).
