Why visit Banská Štiavnica

Sights and Landmarks

Slovakia lacks the glitz of its former compatriot, the Czech Republic, but since its independence in 1993, the country's been shedding its Eastern Bloc past and embracing its own folk culture. The capital of Bratislava is a popular destination but don't bypass the old-world essence of places such as the Spis castle overlooking Spisske Podhradie; Liptovska Sielnica, with its historical homes; and the spas of Piestany. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking and skiing in the High Tatras.

Museums

Cruises

Slovakia's oldest mining town owes its glittering history to the ancient volcanoes that surround it. Gold, silver and around 140 different minerals in the volcanic soil brought enormous wealth to the town, particularly during its 16th-century heyday. Wonderfully intact Gothic and Renaissance buildings date to this period.
