The updated Bradt Slovakia guidebook, now in its second edition, is still the only standalone English-language guidebook from a mainstream publisher to thoroughly explore this European country, which remains unspoilt by mass tourism. Lying at the geographical centre of Europe, Slovakia is packed with architectural gems, stunning mountains and budget-friendly outdoor activities, including impressive skiing, hiking and wildlife-watching opportunities. The updated Bradt Slovakia guidebook contains everything visitors need to enjoy this varied, attractive country. Impressively situated on the Danube, and effortlessly blending history with hedonism, Bratislava has become a stellar city-break destination: Casanova declared it ‘the most beautiful city in Europe’. The capital boasts stunningly restored Baroque, Rococo and Art-Nouveau buildings within an eminently walkable historic centre, plus world-class opera and ballet in the impressive New Slovak National Theatre. More widely, marvel at Slovakia’s nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Prešov’s extraordinary wooden churches trail, plus Gothic churches, Baroque chateaux, imposing fortresses, romantic castles (Slovakia has more castles per capita than any other country) and medieval ruins. The hometown of Andy Warhol’s parents, Medzilaborce, has the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art, which harbours the largest collection of the artist’s works outside the USA. Alternatively, treat your tastebuds by following the wine route through the Small Carpathian mountains or taking a micro-brewery tour. Lovers of the outdoors are spoilt for choice, as the updated Bradt Slovakia guidebook makes clear: •the rugged Tatra Mountains, deemed the ‘affordable Alps’, are popular with downhill and cross-country skiers, and snow-boarders; •Slovakia offers 14,000 km of marked year-round hiking trails plus thousands of kilometres of cycling trails and 18 caves open to the public; •Paradise or Karst national parks have some of the world’s most impressive limestone formations; •excellent wildlife watching includes opportunities to see brown bear, lynx and wolf; and •an astonishing 5,000 lakes cater for wild swimmers, with mountain streams to thrill canoeists or white-water rafters, and 23 thermal spas to relax in afterwards. The updated Bradt Slovakia guidebook has been thoroughly researched to integrate the latest tourist developments. Containing everything needed for a rewarding visit, it is the perfect travel companion.
