Glittering glacier lakes meets cosy pubs with tankards of beer

Ahoj, and welcome to Slovakia. Once the other half of Czechoslovakia, the younger sister of the two is finally coming into its own. Slovakia should be known worldwide for its mountain hikes — walks in the High Tatras and you’ll stumble across glacial lakes to rival Scandinavia’s — and its fairytale castles. The fact that it isn’t yet is good news for travelers, though, as you’ll meet relatively few fellow ramblers and explorers when you land in the heart of Europe for your Slovak adventure. So whether you want to rip it up in Bratislava, the centre of culture for Slovaks, or see one of the biggest castle-complexes in Europe, you have to VISIT SLOVAKIA!
