Slovak culture

Slovak culture

Slovak culture is very rich in folklore and history.

Folklore

Each area has its own character, its own folklore and cultural monuments. Slovakia boasts a number of majestic, cultural, historical buildings.

Castles

There are more than 100 castles in our country and this number is at least doubled by men’s houses built in different historical periods. In the past, their owners controlled the life of the country and its inhabitants. Each castle or mansion also had a garden or park. Such ownership of small nobility can be seen in almost every village in Slovakia.

Slovakia, thanks to its geographical location, is considered the heart of Europe. However, many natives carry it in their hearts, thanks to the stunning Slovak nature, traditions, and history, which breathe through the castles and châteaux scattered across the country, the unique atmosphere of typical Slovak villages, as well as larger towns, where original Slovak gastronomy, friendly inhabitants, entertainment, and culture blend together.

Although Slovakia has a smaller area compared to surrounding countries, it offers a vast array of experiences. From natural treasures and breathtaking scenery to historical monuments and castles, all the way to worldwide unique attractions.
