Slovakia - a small state in the center of Europe, formed in 1990 as a result of the "velvet revolution" that occurred in Czechoslovakia .There is no access to the sea from Slovakia, therefore it is not necessary to talk about sea rest in this country..Despite this, thanks to a diverse mountain landscape, a large number of healing springs, a very beautiful nature and amazingly clean air, Slovakia is practically an all year round attractive place for resting .The presence of castles, interesting architectural structures and historical areas on its territory adds interest to this country .
The country's capital, Bratislava, was founded in 907, and by 1291 it became a fully-fledged city .A lot of attractions, mostly XIII-XVIII centuries, are very compact, so you can walk around them all on foot, enjoying the color of this city..The rhythm of life in Bratislava is calm and measured, the narrow streets of the old city beckon with tranquility and coziness, the cobbles of the roadways remember a lot of events from the life of the city..Bratislava has enough infrastructure to receive tourists, has its own unique face and character, which distinguishes it from other European capitals .Presidential Palace, Bratislava Royal Castle, numerous museums - worthy goal of travel .Bratislava's surroundings are no less interesting: 10 km west of the city there is Devin Castle with a wonderful park, and 7 km to the north-east of Bratislava - the famous lake resort of Zlatý Sands .
Slovakia is rich with locks of different eras and different purposes..Locks are found here for every taste: elegant royal residences and harsh military fortresses, Gothic and Renaissance, small and huge..For true connoisseurs, there are even castles with their own ghosts .Each castle has its own history, and many of them are famous for their legends .For the whole world, Spišsky Grad is a special historical value - a locality that has a whole network of castle fortifications .Thanks to the flexible approach to the protection of unique buildings, hotels are organized in some castles .Especially among fans of this type of recreation are valued locks offering a lack of modern amenities and maximum authenticity of the environment .
Slovakia is unusually good in winter, the climate of the country and the landscape have this. The town of Kosice, the second largest in Slovakia, under the snow cover turns into a magical fairytale in reality. Old houses, stylized lanterns, the Church of the Dominicans, the Cathedral of Saint Alzhbeta, in which you can listen to the organ (acoustics is excellent!) - all this together creates a picture so vivid that it can not be forgotten.
Thanks to the excellent snow cover throughout the winter, the picturesque area, well-developed infrastructure and low prices (for example, to attract even more tourists, at many resorts the ski pass is sold at a symbolic price), Slovakia's ski resorts are known all over the world .Strbske Pleso is perhaps one of the most famous Slovak spas, it is located in the High Tatras at an altitude of 1355 meters above sea level, the season here lasts from December to April .Altogether in the High Tatras 12 ski resorts with excellent trails, ski lifts and snow cannons .Very popular among fans of outdoor activities in the Low Tatras, where snow is much more than in other mountain regions of the country .In particular, Jasna resort is widely known, which is considered the best in the whole of Eastern Europe .
It is impossible not to mention the children's health camps in the low Tatras, which are ready to take in the summer children from different countries. Usually, these camps are located in ski hotels, unclaimed for their intended purpose in the summer, and experienced teachers and organizers work in the camps, which allows you to make the holiday rich and memorable. Due to special natural conditions, staying in such camps has a beneficial effect on children's health.
