Heart of Europe
Your comprehensive guide to Slovakia
Slovakia has so much to offer tourists, yet remains one of the least well known holiday destinations in Europe. This website has been developed to help promote Slovakia and share the secrets of this beautiful country.
We have information about the best hotels, pensions and other types of accommodation in Slovakia, as well as details about spas, ski centres and tourist attractions in the country. We have also put together guides for the main towns and cities, some interesting cultural information and a section discussing the history of Slovakia. Don't forget to read our humorous Letters from Slovakia, learn the language in Let's Learn Slovak, or check out the traditional dishes in Vlado's Recipe Corner!
