What to Experience in Slovakia
At EISB we have many students, parents and teachers who would like to get to know Slovakia a little better so I would like to share some of my recommendations.
How to get around:
Car is most convenient, but there are very good train and bus connections to reach all corners of Slovakia. Students and seniors with EU citizenship or residence are offered free railway tickets in Slovakia after registration. To find the best connection to your destination you can use www.cp.sk or Google Maps.
MUST SEE:
- High Tatras – beautiful mountain range in the north of Slovakia for hiking or skiing
- Bojnice – fairytale castle, hot springs and the oldest ZOO in Slovakia
- Banská Štiavnica – medieval town hidden in the middle of mountains
