Slovakia is a Central European country known for its dramatic mountainous landscapes, medieval history, and stunning architecture. As a land-locked country, it’s been part of numerous empires and governments throughout its history, all of which have left their own unique influence on the region.
I took the train in to Bratislava from Prague on a rainy Saturday in October, and I was not prepared for the beauty of the country at the height of autumn. Also, the city is right on the Danube which was absolutely breathtaking!
Slovakia is filled with beautiful rivers, lakes, national parks, tiny towns, and castle ruins. And compared to its neighbors it’s also quite affordable. It’s the perfect place to hike, road trip, and escape Europe’s summer crowds — all while on a budget!
