    Additional investments in the development of cycling in Bratislava

    Bratislava, 1 October 2025 – The Mayor of the capital city and the Minister of Transport today jointly announced additional investments in the development of cycling infrastructure in the capital city. Thanks to financing from the Recovery and Resilience Plan, over 9 km of cycling paths have already been added in Bratislava. The Minister of Transport has now signed contracts totalling approximately EUR 1 million for the refinancing of four more cycling projects which were designed and will be built by the capital city. Thanks to this, more than 6 km of new cycling infrastructure will be added to Bratislava and will fit into the comprehensive urban cycle network and connect to existing, frequented cycling paths in the city. This means that the movement of cyclists through Bratislava will once again be made more comfortable and, above all, safer.

    Start of the Petržalka tram

    Bratislava, 27 July 2025 – An important day for Bratislava’s largest transport project. Today a tram is now operating on the new tram line leading through the Petržalka, the largest housing estate in Slovakia. Petržalka as well as the whole of Bratislava have been waiting for such a supporting transport system for decades, and from today, the people of Petržalka have not only a faster, but a safer and better connection to the city centre. In addition to this line they are also gaining completely new high-quality public spaces, new roads and pavements and 6 kilometres of new separated cycling paths, which together fundamentally improve the quality of life, housing and overall transport for everyone who travels daily to other parts of the city for work, school or leisure.
