Košice is the regional centre of eastern Slovakia, with a long main street lined with historic buildings and the Gothic cathedral at its heart. Groups staying in the Tatras go there for a city day, and groups from Poprad travel there for concerts, sports matches, conferences and trade events. Because the coach starts from our garage in Poprad, this is one of the simplest trips we drive.
Through the Spiš region
The route runs east from Poprad through the Spiš region, passing close to Levoča and the ruins of Spiš Castle, both UNESCO-listed, before descending towards Košice. The whole trip stays inside Slovakia, so there is no border to cross, and at about 1 h 30 min no mandatory break is needed. Slovak motorway tolls are paid by the coach.
Typical Košice trips
- City day from the Tatras: morning departure, an afternoon in the centre, back in the mountains for dinner.
- Stop at Spiš Castle or Levoča: both lie near the route and turn a transfer into a short excursion.
- Corporate and sports groups: teams, fans and staff travelling to a match, event or meeting together.
- Airport connection: Košice Airport is on the southern edge of the city, useful for groups flying in or out.
On a same-day return the driver waits for the group in Košice; the driving time is short, so the daily limits leave plenty of room for a full programme. Every coach has 49 to 53 seats, a WC, a coffee machine and air conditioning. The corporate coach hire page covers company events, and Košice Airport to Starý Smokovec explains the airport transfer.
