    I am a 29 year old American and spend all my extra money on travel, been to Japan, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Portugal, all 3 of the Baltic States, Finland, Mexico, and all over the USA. Slovakia was latest trip and it is for sure in my top 3 places I have been to. Spent 9 days there and it was not enough. Beautiful country and amazing people and food. My top 3 favs are now Slovakia, Portugal, and Japan. Though every place I have been takes my breath away.

    Gothic art and architecture from Slovakia is also extraordinary. They have also thematic trail called Gothic route on regions Spis and Gemer with many awesome medieval buildings. Medieval fresco paintings made by Italian masters, biggest collections of gothic altars and sculptures in the world etc. I really recommend this! I also like towns Komárno and Banská Štiavnica and primeval forests on the Slovak-Polish-Ukrainian border, thats something you cant find anywhere else in Europe anymore.

    We had many skiing and hiking trips to the mountains, and one of my favourite things was the trips we made to the many caves throughout Slovakia. The Demanovska ice cave is particularly beautiful.

A lot of examples are the old medieval centers of the Slovakian cities. Slovakia by itself has a large and plentiful history for people that like to read about countries history, One of these examples is the Great Morava which was placed on the western part of Slovakia and southern part of Czech republic.
