Looking for the best Airbnb Bratislava properties for the Ice Hockey World Championship? We got you. Ice Hockey is a blisteringly fast sport defined by deft skill, hard hits and—particularly for fairweather fans—referee-sanctioned punch-ups.
Between 10 and 26 May, Slovakia will host the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, where the best nations in the world will compete against one another. Unlike the World Cup for soccer or the Olympic Games, which are held every four years, the Ice Hockey World Championship is an annual event.
For obvious reasons, hockey tends to be popular in places with colder climates, meaning the tournament is usually held in countries the average traveller might not think to go. To us, this is the event’s primary appeal. Can you think of a better excuse to visit Slovakia this spring? Thought not. Here are the best Airbnb Bratislava homes —the country’s capital— and Košice, the two cities hosting the Championship.
