Slovakia

A landlocked country in Central/Eastern Europe, Slovakia is bordered by Poland and the Czech Republic in the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, and Austria to the west. Its population of 5.4 million people speak Slovak; the country’s only official language.

A relatively new country often confused with Slovenia, Slovakia gained its independence from the former Czechoslovakia in 1993. Today, its capital of Bratislava-just hours from both Vienna and Prague-has emerged as a destination in its own right as a less touristy alternative to its more famous neighbors. Situated on the banks of the Danube, the capital offers a lively nightlife scene as well as historic architecture, including Bratislava Castle, which overlooks the river and provides magnificent views of the city. Visitors to Bratislava can indulge in Slovakian cuisine; hearty dishes of cheese and potato dumplings. 

Outside the capital, visitors can tour one of the most beautiful towns in Europe: Vlkolinec, which contains the continent’s largest cluster of traditional central European log cabins and is one of Slovakia’s seven UNESCO Heritage Sites. For more contemporary offerings, the town Medzilaborce offers the world’s second largest collection of paintings by Andy Warhol, whose parents immigrated from Slovakia to USA. A mountainous country of waterfalls and lakes, visitors can hike Tatras mountain range, which form a natural barrier between Slovakia and Poland, and offers picturesque trails along pristine pastures. 

In the winter, sample Slovakia’s rapidly developing skiing industry, which offers an uncrowded, inexpensive alternative to pricier slopes in neighboring Austria.
