On Thursday and Friday, November 12 and 13, drivers in Bratislava will have to contend with temporary traffic restrictions in the city center. The city will host a summit of the Visegrad Group (V4) countries, which means foreign delegations will be traveling through the streets. The Bratislava Regional Police have issued a warning about this.
Traffic will be blocked in areas near Bratislava Castle, specifically on Palisády and Mudroňova streets. It will also be difficult to drive along Nábrežie armádneho generála Ludvíka Svobodu, Pribinova Street, Vajanského nábrežie, Rázusovo nábrežie, and Staromestská Street. The police report that the closures will be brief—primarily in the morning and evening on Thursday, as well as for short periods on Friday.
The police are asking drivers to follow the instructions of patrol officers who will be directing traffic on-site. If possible, it’s best to plan routes that avoid these streets to prevent getting stuck in traffic.
The Visegrad Group summit, which includes Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary, is a regular meeting to discuss regional and European issues. Such events always involve heightened security measures, so temporary traffic changes are necessary to ensure the passage of official motorcades.
