From the beautiful capital Bratislava to the mountainous Spiš region with their grand merchant’s houses, Gothic spires and wooden churches, Slovakia’s cities offer everything to provide you with an intimate Central European experience.

Bratislava

The “Princess on the Danube,” just a stone’s throw from Vienna, boasts a truly charming Old Town, dating back to when it was the coronation city of the Hungarian kings. You can stay in the heart of the Slovak capital in reasonably-priced hotels and walk to your concert in one of the city-centre churches. A lively street café culture makes Bratislava a particularly congenial place to spend a few days, especially in summer, which is usually hot and sunny!
