The Slovak Republic is
located in the heart of Central Europe. Central and
northern Slovakia is a mountainous region - the Carpathian
mountains cross this area. The southern and eastern
Slovakia is a lowland region, being an important agricultural
area of the country. The Danube river connects Slovakia
with Vienna.
Compared to other European
capital cities, Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia
may at first appear relatively unimpressive, and even
a little ugly. However, dig a little deeper and you
will find that Bratislava old town is simply rich
in culture.
The city has elegant
buildings, churches, cathedrals and fine restaurants
that rival any in Europe. What's more, these days,
Bratislava has got a real buzz about it - a cosmopolitan
city with an exciting ambiance awaits you!
The country offers a
great wealth of curative springs, thermal spas, climatic
health resorts and natural mineral waters, renowned
throughout the world. There are 23 spa towns officially
recognised by the state authorities.
