Slovakia tickets arrived today!

Still no joy on the Czech front though...anybody seen any Czech websites selling any of their share?

Where is everybody sat? We're in the 'ASL' section seats 39 and 40 (should be right on halfway line).

Krakow is the nearest. About six hours on a train I think.

We did Pilgrims abroad.com and they still have flights and rooms available at a reasonabe rate.... by FAR the best option!

**Fr. Joe** · 24/08/2007, 1:23 PM

Anyone got a Stadium seating plan for this one just to check out where the tickets are?

Hi there,

Does anyone have any recommendations for accommodation in Bratislave?

I have tried a few apartments, but they are booked out.

Would appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Sean

seanieboy, i was booked into this place but cancelled yesterday:

hotel Baronka however this is about 20 mins from the main square on tram so might not be the best place if just on a wee wee ( p word is blocked ) up, but its very nice from what ive heard.

I am now in hotel incheba, which is �18 for the night for two of us, however we have to share the bathroom with one other crowd in a triple room, but this place is dead centre and only 5 min talk across the bridge and we are in the square and wherever else!

Thanks Paul, I'll check that out.

Lads is the Slovakia Koruny widely used or is it better to bring euro. also does anyone know the availability of ATM machines? or is johnny cash ur only man!

**Bear Eleven** · 27/08/2007, 1:45 PM

Bring Euro's or get your money from ATM's.Went to AIB to get Slovak money the other day and they said they didn't do it.

**dublinwanderer** · 27/08/2007, 2:46 PM

yeah i was told the same in aib, but bank of ireland will order it in for you.

**soylent green** · 28/08/2007, 9:53 PM

Not to get people too worried but I got the following warning from my cousin living in Slovakia:

1.Avoid police and nightclub staff. Bratislava is NOT a place to get into a situation at night. You can get mugged easily by the bouncers believe me. Old trick your mates get in,someone gets hit and a large drinks bill is presented to you as a way out. Anyway worst case syndrome but it does happen.

2.Take 2900sk (100eur approx) from hole in wall in airport.That will give
you enough loose notes.

3.Taxi to centre should be no more than 900Sk max max.700 is usual.

But the best bits of Slovakia are the food,vbeer and castles. Oh and
people outside Bratislava.Very friendly.

Sure isn't it the churches that people will be visiting.

The museums and places of historical interest will be a magnet for those Irish culture
vultures.

**paul_oshea** · 29/08/2007, 8:59 AM

anyone bringing any music in the hope the pubs might play it like irish tunes etc?! Im going to bring a line out and an ipod which has a good few irish tunes on it, in the hope i might persuade some barman to put it through their speaker system ( assuming they have speaker systems

)

I brought Cd's for the coaches in San Marino, but the driver of the little bus enjoyed them so much he asked if he could keep them
