During a holiday in Slovakia, the nature and culture here are hosting your vacation. An active vacation offers various possibilities such as hiking and cycling, climbing and rafting. If you want to try something different, you can choose to climb on the Prena Magura in the Low Tatras, a hiking trip through the mountains to the Strato Volcano or a mountain tour to the peaks of the Tatra mountains. The Tatras with mountain lakes, waterfalls and glaciers offer besides a sporting challenge, an extraordinary piece of nature and when staying at a holiday home in the Zilina region for example, you will have the chance to enjoy it all.
A visit to the capital, Bratislava, will certainly be appealing. It is a city of museums, historical monuments and beautiful places, a walk is often the best way to see this city. So you can visit the Michalska Brana, one of the four gates of the town with a copper green color. Here you can visit the Museum of Weapons also. More so, it is close to the shopping area with many attractions and buskers in summertime. The Dino Park is a small zoo with numerous animals, a playground, a 3D cinema and fine hiking trails. There is also plenty of art in Bratislava, you can see it really everywhere in the streets, like in the Old Town.
The mix of culture and nature is often encountered in Slovakia. Visit the village of Vlkolinec in Ruzomberok. It is a village of 40 historic wooden houses surrounded by nature where people work and live a normal life. The caves of Aggtelek Karst are the silent witnesses of past times. You cannot distinguish anything specific in their shape and size. All this was born due to a natural chemical reaction many years ago. Think of the Dobsinska Ice cave or the Silica Ice Cave. The historic town of Bardejov is a beautiful city with remnants of medieval culture. Fortunately, all of this is protected by UNESCO so that you and your children can admire these natural and cultural attractions for years to come.
