First of all, you might ask, how will I get to Banská Bystrica?
Slovakia is a small country with 2 main airports in Bratislava and Košice. However, sometimes the prices are better to travel to Vienna or Budapest with direct flights. After that, take the bus to Bratislava. There are buses every 30 minutes from Vienna airport to Bratislava. The platform to take a bus is just in front of the airport. You can buy a ticket in advance on the Internet or just buy a ticket from the bus driver. There are various bus companies operating - Slovak lines, Flixbus, and Regiojet. From Bratislava take either train or bus directly to Banská Bystrica, which takes up to three hours.
