Slovakia
A small landlocked country in Central Europe, pairing the Danube capital Bratislava with the High Tatras mountains for both city and wilderness appeal.
Slovakia lies in Central Europe, bordering the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. Its capital, Bratislava, sits on the Danube close to Vienna. The High Tatras in the north are the highest range of the Carpathians, good for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. The country is full of castles; Spiš Castle and historic towns such as Banská Štiavnica and Bardejov are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and there are also many caves and thermal spas. Summer and the winter ski season are the peak travel periods. The gateway is Bratislava Airport, and many visitors also arrive via Vienna Airport.
