Even though the Slovak Karst is home to over a thousand known caves, onyl a view have been opened to the public.

Descend into these subterranean wonderlands and get awed by Mother Nature’s spectacular creations.

Perched on a jagged limestone cliff, this masterpiece of medieval architeture was never conquered, due to its formidable natural, as well as man-made defences.

VISA | There are no visa requirements for European countries with the exception of Belarus, the Kosovo, and Russia. European countries outside the EU can stay up to 90 days in Slovakia.

If you are a resident of a non-European country check Passport Index for a quick overview.

MONEY | Currency: Euro. ATMs can be found in every major town and Debit/Credit cards are widely accepted. You will need cash for buses, however.

Public Transport | The easiest way to get around Slovakia is by train, connecting all major cities in the country, as well as several smaller towns and villages (although less frequent). Moreover, ticket prices are extremely affordable (calculate roughly 2,5€ for half an hour).

Bus terminals can be found next to most major train stations, allowing you to visit pretty much the entirety of Slovakia without relying on a car. In addition, both trains and buses are extremely punctual (in my experience), making it very reliable and enjoyable to travel around Slovakia using public transport.

Train tickets can either be bought in the train station or on the train itself, while bus tickets are purchased directly on the bus. Train tickets are valid for a full day, providing you with a lot of flexibility.
