Persopolis Bratisava

Although you’ll probably move by feet (or bike) during the anomaly itself, you might run into situations where quick transit is needed. For most of you, the public transport system is the best option. If your team needs quick transit during the anomaly, ask your local team guide. He/she will help you with buying the tickets and all the navigation. Tickets can be bought from kiosks or ticket machines, which are located on most of the stops.

Some of the transport lines and stops worth mentioning are:

• 93 - connects the railway station (“Hlavna stanica”) with the city center (“Hodzovo namestie”,”Zochova”). Useful for getting to/from the registration and anomaly.
• 83 - connects Dubravka (north-west) with Petrzalka (south) going through the city center. Dubravka and Petrzalka districts are full of portals :)
• 70 - connects the SNP Bridge (“Most SNP”), located right next to the center and the castle, with Eurovea (“Mala scena”, a good shopping center) and the main bus station (“AS Mlynske Nivy”)
• 96 - connects the airport Bratislava (“Letisko”) with Petrzalka.
• 61 - connects the airport Bratislava (“Letisko”) with the railway station (“Hlavna stanica”)

A very convinient way of using the public transportation is with the iTransit BA App from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptives.itransit). The App let’s you see the nearest bus/tram/troley stop with the times the bus leaves and a let’s you plan a trip.

Getting to the registration

For now, there’s not much to say. There will be some missions for navigating to the registration site and between the clusters.

More info will be added when the registration and clusters are announced.

After the anomaly

Want to chill out after the anomaly, collect some UPVs or UPCs? Use the trams! They go relatively slow, giving you enough time for hacking. Their paths are usually full of green L8 portals during normal (non-anomaly) conditions.

Other nice places full of portals you can visit, hack & farm:

• Bratislava castle (gMaps | Intel)
• Riverpark (gMaps | Intel)
• Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Drotarska street (gMaps | Intel)
• Slavin monument (gMaps | Intel)

There are lots of missions in the city center and near it, be sure to check them out! They will help you to navigate the city.
