The Slovak Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe with a population of over five million. Slovakia features natural landscapes, mountains, caves, medieval castles and towns, folk architecture, spas and ski resorts. More than 1.6 million people visited Slovakia in 2006, and the most attractive destinations are the capital of Bratislava and the High Tatras. Most visitors come from the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany. Slovakia is becoming one of Europe's focal points for travel and tourism. Slovakia's capital city Bratislava is a growing hub of culture, as well as the national seat of politics and business. Its thousand year history offers a great deal to visitors. Tourists are coming to love the freshly restored old town, now almost entirely closed to cars. The second-largest city of Kosice is a centre of heavy industry, but also of architecture and multiculturalism. This metropolis of Eastern Slovakia is a regional administrative centre and hub of industry, commerce, science and culture. For a small country, Slovakia has an amazing number of castles: 300. Take your pick from evocative ruins on a cliff overlooking a river to fairy-tale perfect where knightly games are re-enacted (Bojnice), or ghostly remains of the largest walled fortress in Central Europe (Spis). Slovakia’s small size and dense system of roads make it easy to see a lot in a short time. Car rental company has its desk located in major airports, such as Kosice Airport. Typical souvenirs from Slovakia are dolls dressed in folk costumes, ceramic objects, crystal glass, carved wooden figures, črpáks (wooden pitchers), fujaras (a folk instrument on the UNESCO list) and valaškas (a decorated folk hatchet). Slovak food is hearty, typical of a country with strong rural roots. It is heavy on meat, potatoes, dumplings, thick sauces and cheeses. Try soup or a meat/cheese appetizer.
