Deciding where you should go on holiday can be a tricky thing; there are so many gorgeous places all around the world that it makes it hard and overwhelming to choose only one.
Although this article might seem like an addition to your frustration, we are here to make your life easier by showing you that Slovakia is one of your best options. Unfortunately, it is one of the most underrated European destinations, which is why not many people are aware of its spectacular beauty and the plethora of awesome activities that it offers.
Do you need a bit more convincing? Below you will find a few fun and fantastic reasons why Slovakia is the best travel destination.
What do you need in order to feel like you are a character in a fairy tale? A majestic castle with many grand chambers beautifully decorated in a magical location. If this is a sensation that you are interested in, then Slovakia has got you covered.
The country is full of impressive castles that make you feel like you have travelled back in time. You can visit some of them (it seems impossible to get to all of them as there are more than a hundred castles in the country) if you have a modern vehicle, like a car, in order to reach your destinations in a fast and comfortable manner. Enjoy Travel can make this possible by showing you all the available hire cars in Slovakia and allowing you to book the one you want online. Bojnice Castle, Spis Castle, and Orava Castle are the most popular.
Do you feel that you need to escape from the hectic pace of urban life? Do you want to connect with nature? If yes, you will have your chance to admire the magnificence of nature and to breathe freely again in the many breathtaking natural landscapes found in Slovakia. You can wander around the huge Slovak Paradise National Park, go hiking or skiing in the High Tatra Mountains, and explore the picturesque villages and towns in the country. Banská Štiavnica, Špania Dolina, and ÄiÄmany would make excellent stops.
If you are a foodie, you will definitely have the time of your life in Slovakia. Slovak cuisine is characterised by simple dishes with fresh and locally produced ingredients such as wheat, dairy products, meat, and vegetables. Bryndzové halušky, kapustnica (it is a soup), plnená paprika (it’s peppers stuffed with rice), and zemiakové placky (it can be described as potato pancakes) are items that you must order and try in any Slovak restaurant. And for dessert? Žemlovka, bublanina and skalický trdelník are excellent choices.
