Poprad is situated at
the foot of the High Tatras mountains, and is a useful base
for travelers wishing to explore Slovakia's most well-known
attraction.
Unfortunately, the town itself doesn't
quite live up to its spectacular surroundings, although there
are a number of good bars and restaurants in the center, as
well as a few tourist attractions such as the Podtatranske Museum.
Perhaps more interesting though, is the little town
of Spisska Sobota, 2km northeast of Poprad.
