Travel inspiration

Take some time to get to know Slovakia and be rewarded by ascending the alpine peaks of the Tatras Mountains. Enjoy a night stay at a mountain cottage and try to spot chamois and marmots. A large part of Slovak landscape is protected within nine national parks. Explore Slovakia’s most famous natural wonder, the karst regions of limestone canyons and caves. Taste sweet tokay in an authentic wine cellar, or savor a meal of halušky with bryndza cheese. Kneel beneath the tallest Gothic wooden altar in the world, or tour the Kremnica Mint. Creating coins since 1328, it’s the oldest continuously running manufacturer in the world. Historic mining towns, deep caverns, authentic folklore, and cultural life in Bratislava and Košice add to the distinct experiences in Slovakia.

MICE inspiration

Slovakia benefits from an excellent location at the heart of Europe, with easy access by plane, train or motorway, which makes it ideal for international MICE events. MICE facilities, accommodation and conference capacities have expanded greatly in Slovakia over the last few years. International hotel groups such as Kempinski, Crown Plaza, Lindner, Radisson Blu, Sheraton, Hilton/Double Tree, Mercure, Holiday Inn and others have been implanted in Slovakia.

Modern conference hotels are fully equipped with sophisticated facilities for organising events, with the most up-to-date equipment and communications technology which are ready to host even the most important conferences and special events. The versatility of what is on offer allows even demanding clients to choose the type of accommodation they prefer: from historic castles, manors and houses or chalets and eco-villages, to contemporary hotels and spas, and many other unique places across the country.
