Europe’s beating heart of rich history, unique traditions, and striking mountains
Emerging from the parting of Czechoslovakia as a strong and independent nation, the landlocked beauty of Slovakia shines bright with an ethereal glow that you simply can’t experience anywhere else. Lovers of the outdoors will fall head over heels with the near transparent lakes accompanied by a backdrop of neck-craning mountain peaks. A long weekend in the capital, Bratislava, is a perfect one, full of hiking in the High Tatras, raising a tankard of beer in the Old Town taverns, exploring the monuments awash with fascinating European history, sampling the stomach-warming comforts of Slovak cuisine… whether you’re conquering the main attractions, ambling through the gorgeous vineyard-filled countryside, or exploring the boutique surrounding towns, Slovakia is one adventure that you won’t forget in a hurry.
