What to Pack?
Packing as light as possible is best since you will be traveling to Prague and back.
Clothing
Winters here are usually freezing. It is best to prepare clothes suitable for -5 to -10 degrees celsius.
It’s also a good idea to bring some formal clothes for shows like operas and philharmonic.
Where can I find information about events in Bratislava?
GoOut is one of the best websites to find the most recommended events.
Checking events on Facebook is also an excellent alternative to more local shows.

Bisla and Bisla Students
Many Bisla students stay in school after finishing their classes. They are usually together in the Spitzer room in the main building. Join them anytime and spark a conversation to get to know each other. Bisla will be your home while in Bratislava; feel free to use any facilities there.
