VISITING
City of Košice, Tokaj Wine-Growing Region
KOŠICE
A unique Central European metropolis and the second
largest city in Slovakia. Košice is also the scene
of the oldest marathon race in Europe and the second
oldest one in the world. You will find here the longest
pedestrian zone in Slovakia or the easternmost Gothic
cathedral in Europe, which is also the largest church
in Slovakia - St. Elizabeth Cathedral. The East Slovak
Museum is also a popular stop over, where you will
discover the Košice Gold Treasure. Perfect view
of the whole city will be offered from the Lookout
Tower near the largest ZOO in Slovakia. Romantic
streets and unique summer atmosphere of restaurants
in the historic centre will make you see that
Košice is indeed one of the European capitals.
WINE-GROWING AREA OF TOKAJ
Tokaj is primarily the birthplace of the royal liquor,
but it hides a lot of the unknown. This unique
place is complemented not just by historical tufa
cellars, barrels full of wine, picturesque villages
with an abundant history, where the secrets
of the past reveal cultural and historical
monuments, but it is also unique by the hard
and conscientious work of wine growers, wine
producers, and locals. Fairytale-like walks through
the vineyards and surrounding countryside,
traditional homemade food and pleasant rural
accommodation will enchant anyone who visits
this unique part of Slovakia.
