Slovakia is the Czech Republik’s republics underrated cousin. And yet, Slovakia has so much to offer. Certainly you will enjoy it more, simply because you won’t have to deal with the trampling hordes of its northern neighbour. And because of this traditions and folklore are more intact, the wilderness more rugged, and the atmosphere, dare I say it, more authentic? Decide for yourself...

There is classical beauty aplenty in Bratislava, wild scenery in the Tatras Mountains, picturesque hidden villages all over the country, verdant rolling hills, and castles around every corner and on seemingly every hilltop. It’s small enough to be compact and wild enough to be remote. Folklore and tradition remain as strong as its national drink ‘slivovica’. It’s lovable and liveable and most of all its affordable!

Don’t follow the herd, follow your heart and visit this central European gem. You won’t forget it and you sure won’t regret it!
