Kosice Airport (KSC) to the city

A 30 minute paper ticket is 1.20 EUR, or 1.10 EUR if you tap a contactless card, and bus 23 reaches the station square in about 20 minutes.

  • A 30 minute paper ticket is 1.20 EUR, reduced 0.60 EUR. Tapping a contactless bank card brings the 30 minute fare down to 1.10 EUR, and a 60 minute fare is 1.30 EUR.
  • The ride takes around 20 minutes, so the 30 minute ticket covers it with a little to spare.
  • Line 23 is the airport bus, running between Barca, Letisko and Stare mesto, Stanicne namestie.
  • Stanicne namestie is the station square, so the railway station and the bus station are both at that end.
  • It calls at the industrial parks and shopping centres on the way, and at Senny trh in the centre.
  • This is an ordinary DPMK city bus, priced on the normal Kosice tariff with no airport supplement.
  • Buy before boarding or tap a card, as elsewhere in Slovakia.

  • Tapping a contactless card is the cheapest way to ride and removes the problem of finding a ticket before you board, which is the usual trap on Slovak city networks.
  • The 20 minute journey fits inside the 30 minute ticket, so there is no reason to buy the 60 unless you are changing.
  • There is no airport supplement. Line 23 is an ordinary city bus on the ordinary Kosice tariff.

One line, the right end

  • Line 23 runs from the airport at Barca into the old town, finishing at Stanicne namestie.
  • That square holds both the railway station and the bus station, which makes it the single most useful destination in Kosice.
  • About 20 minutes for the whole run.

The stops in between

  • Industrial parks and shopping centres on the southern edge of the city.
  • Senny trh, in the centre, which is closer to the old town's main street.

Tickets

  • SMS tickets and a virtual travel card are available alongside paper tickets and contactless.
  • Buy before you board if you are using paper. Slovak city networks do not sell on the bus.
