About Slovakia
Emerging from the shadow of the Czech Republic from which it 'divorced' in 1993, Slovakia is standing firm on its own two feet, is now a member of the EU and adopted the Euro as its official currency in 2008. The Baroque Old Town of Bratislava and its castle towering over the Danube must not be missed. Away from the capital, the stunning Tatra Mountains sweep down to the lowlands and you will find countless castles, wooden villages, churches and spa towns.

What to look out for on a typical Slovakian menu…
Slovaks love their cheese, their favourite being Oschtjepka, a mixture of cow’s and sheep’s milk, whilst Bryndza, made entirely from sheep’s milk comes a close second. For a hearty meal, look out for popular Brynzove Halusky on a typical Slovakian menu - small potato dumplings with sheep's cheese.
