Stanica Nivy combines Bratislava's international bus station with a shopping centre on Mlynské nivy. FlixBus, Slovak Lines and other coaches arrive directly here, so if you have a few hours between connections, the lockers are literally on your way.

Where to find the lockers

-1 floor, lobby opposite Alza. From the bus platforms go one level down towards the shopping centre. The lockers are self-service, run 24/7 and take card payment — no coins needed.

Price list (in effect since July 2024)

Box M · 50 × 53 × 70 cm

€4 / 3 h · €6 / 12 h · €8 / 24 h · €14 / 72 h

Fits a carry-on suitcase or a large backpack. Enough for most travellers.

Box L · 50 × 85 × 70 cm

€5 / 3 h · €7 / 12 h · €9 / 24 h · €15 / 72 h

For a full-size suitcase. Always one euro more than Box M for the same duration.

Mind the 72-hour limit. After your paid period the reservation auto-extends in 24-hour blocks, up to 72 hours. Then the operator opens the box and moves your bag to a warehouse — opening costs €30, plus €10 for each started day of storage. Don't use the boxes for long-term storage.

When the lockers are worth it — and when not

Worth it: 3–12 hours between buses, night arrivals (24/7), card payment, zero queuing.
Not worth it: multiple bags (each box is paid separately — two suitcases = €16/day), stays over 3 days, or if you want the cheapest price in town.
