Slovakia—small country, no domestic flights! Bratislava to Košice: train 5h (€15-30) or bus 5-6h (€11-23). Trains and buses similar time. Bratislava trams cheap (€0.90). RegioJet buses have free coffee! Vienna only 1h by Railjet train. Cheap by European standards. High Tatras mountains scenic by train. International trains to Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Austria excellent. Vienna airport 40km from Bratislava—many use it.
