We’ve put together a guide with tips on how to get to Pohoda as easily and quickly as possible, depending on your chosen mode of transport. You can get to Pohoda by bus or even by bike. And if you’re driving, we recommend carpooling with friends or linking up with others via TOGETHER TO POHODA. The article also includes navigation maps.
From the Biskupice side, you can reach us on foot, by bike, shuttle bus, or you can get a ride from a taxi or a friend if they don’t plan to park at the venue.

On Foot / By Bike
You can reach both festival gates on foot or by bike ( GATE O from the direction of Opatovce and GATE B from Biskupice/Nozdrkovce). Bicycle racks are available at both gates (bicycles, as well as scooters and skateboards, are not allowed on the festival site and can only be used by festival staff with special visible signage).
Once again this year, MTBIKER will be providing bike repair services for everyone arriving by bicycle with a valid Pohoda wristband.
Bus
Once again this year, you can take advantage of convenient bus transport right to the festival gate (Gate B), provided by the bus company Slovak Lines, and for The Cure Extra Day on Wednesday, July 8 also by RegioJet from Prague, Brno, and Ostrava. This way, you can avoid issues with driving, parking, and traffic – so you can fully enjoy the music programme without worrying about transport. RegioJet is also offering a 10% discount throughout the festival on select train routes from Prague and Košice to Trenčín, Žilina, and Bratislava.

Shuttle Bus
This year again, there will also be a shuttle bus departing from the bus/train station to the airport and back (the platform across from the train station marked "POHODA"). It will run throughout the festival from Wednesday to Sunday. Ticket price is €2.50.
There will also be a separate shuttle service from the Laugaricio Parking Lot, the ticket for a single ride will be €2, and only people and the occupants of cars parked at the Laugaricio Parking Lot may use it to travel to and from the festival.

If you’re driving and have purchased a P1–P5 parking pass, a RV, a camper van, an XL pass, or a motorcycle pass, you can reach the festival via Opatovce. If you’ve purchased a Laugaricio parking pass, you can get there around Trenčianska Turná.
HOW TO GET TO THE LAUGARICIO PARKING LOT BY CAR:
Vehicle access to the parking lot is through GATE P "parking," located at the far end of the airport from the village of Opatovce. The parking lot opens on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. (only for holders of a 4-day or 1-day parking pass for Wednesday, along with a valid 4-day festival ticket or a one-day ticket for The Cure Extra Day). If you have parking only for Wednesday, you must leave by 8:00 a.m. on Thursday at the latest. For holders of 4-day parking passes, the lot will be open 24/7; the last entry is permitted on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. You must leave the parking lot by 12:00 p.m. on Sunday at the latest. You can purchase one-day parking, a 3-day parking upgrade, and Laugaricio parking here. Entry by RV will also be possible starting Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. The festival grounds—including the campsites and the heart of the festival—will open on Wednesday at 12:00 p.m.
Please note that you can leave and return at any time from parking lots P1–P5, XL, and the motorcycle parking lot, and your spot in the designated sector is guaranteed at all times. It is not possible to leave the RV and tent trailer parking lots during the festival, as they are located directly within the Opatovce campground.
Camping on the car park is prohibited. Any tents raised on the car park will be transferred with their equipment to the Camp Manager office located in the tent camp behind GATE O.
