Train travel remains very good and frequent, especially to areas most visited by tourists and other foreign visitors. It has certain drawbacks, including somewhat older trains, but is maintained very well, with a safety record far exceeding those in most western countries.
Towns and villages which are not on train lines have at least some kind of intercity Bus or Coach connections. Buses make required rest stops approximately every two hours.
If you would like to arrange an airport transfer from Poprad Airport to our Chateau then we can arrange this for you for up to four people for only £60.00
