It is suitable for lovers of history, culture, nature, crafts and traditions, touristic routes or cycling routes. We also cannot forget about the great gastronomy and excellent wines, he added. Droba recommends the lookout tower at Veľká Homola or the pumptrack route at Bike Park near Modra.

Travellers can purchase a ticket from the driver and you can also use the Bratislava Card City&Region.
