Indoor

National Football Stadium Tehelne Pole
Winter in Bratislava can be cold, so there are a number of places to play sport indoors when it's less than enticing outdoors. However, most of these facilities stay open year-round.

Squash, swimming, basketball, volleyball and handball (a team sport in which, as the name suggests, the ball is thrown between players and the goal) are among the top indoor sports in Slovakia. For casual visitors the first two will be the easiest to participate in.

 
 
 

 

There are several indoor recreation centres with swimming pools and squash courts in the city, though none is very central.  This site (in Slovak, but with an easy-to-navigate map with symbols) is a good place to find one, and check prices and opening hours.

 

Slovaks' love of tennis means that some outdoor courts stay open even during the winter, covered (and heated) by large inflatable domes.  These normally belong to tennis clubs, but are available to rent by the hour.  There are several within a short drive or bus ride from the city centre.  Again, this site is a good place to find one.

 

Bratislava's ice rinks cater for recreational skaters as well as ice hockey players.  The largest rink in the city is currently being renovated in preparation to host the 2011 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. The nearest alternative, which is named after legendary Slovak goalkeeper Vladimír Dzurilla, is in the Ružinov district, within a 15-minute tram ride of the centre.

 

Among the less athletic pursuits, snooker (sometimes called 'biliard' in Slovak) and bowling are popular.  The Aupark shopping centre, not far from the old town, has a ten-pin bowling centre and a snooker hall (both can be found near the centre's multiplex cinema).
