Others include historic cities, and impressive mountain scenery. Slovakia is also one of the best destinations in Eastern Europe for skiing, hiking and spelunking - exploring caves. The S and W are warmer, the mountain regions and some areas in the N have an alpine climate. Back to Slovakia index page Tourist Info Tourist Offices in the main tourist destinations have limited brochures in English. Maps are not usually free.
Staff generally speak English and they usually have information on accommodation.
Exchange Banks are the best place . American Express have branches at Tatratour Travel Agencies. Exchange offices, 'zmenaren' means change, offer good rates, but commission is usually high. Don't change with individuals on the street. In Kosice I found slightly better rates in banks then elsewhere.
