Road Transportation

There is an expansive network of roads in Slovakia, comprised of highways, expressways and 1st, 2nd and 3rd class roads.

Tolls for using highways and expressways are paid by way of highway stickers, which can be valid for one year/one month or one week; vehicle tonnage-based.  24-hour stickers can be purchased for vehicles over 3.5 tons.

There is also a fairly dense intrastate and inter-city bus network. The EUROLINES international network allows travel to many European destinations:  Prague, Budapest, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich, Amsterdam, Nice, etc.  (www.eurolines.sk)
