The cool capital
A fan of winter city breaks? You’ll love hopping over to Slovakia’s Bratislava and exploring its charming Old Town streets and immersing yourself in the cosy vibes. Discover festive markets in vibrant squares and tick off plenty of cultural landmarks. On clear days, you can even take in stunning views of nearby Austria and Hungary.
Try out the local gastronomy scene
It’s all about hearty and flavourful dishes in Slovakia which make the most of fresh, local ingredients. Meat, especially pork and spicy sausages, usually play a key part, and they’re often paired with potatoes, cabbage and bread to fill you up. Slovak cuisine reflects its rural roots and Central European influences.
Superb sights
You’ll have plenty to add to your sightseeing wish list when visiting Slovakia. Castles, churches, cathedrals, statues, baroque palaces – you name it, it’s probably here. From Bratislava, you can also take in views across the stunning Danube from its pretty promenades and bridges.
