Bardejov Town
Bardejov
A small town with well-preserved medieval walls and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its picturesque Town Hall Square and St. Giles Cathedral make it a rewarding day trip from Košice.
Bardejov lies about 75 km north of Košice. Its urban conservation area was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2000. Around the rectangular Town Hall Square stand gabled Gothic and Renaissance burghers' houses. In the centre is the old town hall, the earliest Renaissance building in Slovakia. St. Giles Cathedral preserves 11 Gothic wooden altarpieces. Most of the city walls and towers survive intact, and the remains of the Jewish quarter lie to the north. You can also visit the open-air folk architecture museum in the nearby spa town of Bardejov Spa. The drive takes about 1.5 hours.
