If your girl can name this tanks, merry her!!

Very rear opportunity to see original Panzer IV. Can also climb it and touch it 😉

The entrance of te death valley, the attempt of Soviet troops to help the Slovak army during the Uprising in '44

Brilliant monument to the battle of Dukla pass

Panzer IV J in great condition 🙂👌

Great place, great reminder about WWII.

Super

We visited here from New Zealand and came to this tower with a cousin. The steps up were pretty exciting and I felt like Indiana Jones 😆. Some people though might find it a bit claustrophobic because everything is very narrow. It was cool seeing the big bell roughly around the middle tower and then climbing to the top and getting a 360 degree view of Košice city centre. My favourite part was being able to ring the ball at the top and even though it wasn’t insanely big it still made so much noise. My family in the park close by could hear it when we rang it. There was a wire mesh that was there for our safety but also made it a bit annoying to look and take photos. At the end climbing down we had to call a phone number because the door was always locked and a person came and unlocked it, but they told us that it would probably happen so it’s not like they forgot about us or something don’t worry. Anyways, loved the great views and the climb was fun. Ringing the bell was the best part.

This is one of the most fascinating churches I have ever seen! You can buy a ticket and climb the old staircase, visit the Rákoczy crypt and climb the church tower which offers spectacular views of the city centre. There is also a holy mass several times a day.

I visited St. Elisabeth's Cathedral with my wife, who is Slovakian, and our son. Whilst admiring how impressive this building is I often forget, or don't appreciate, that this cathedral was built in 1378 to honour St. Elisabeth of Hungary. Many of the people in this region are deeply affect by Košice becoming part of Czechoslovakia in 1918 and then Slovak Republic in 1993.

A place where you connect the old architecture with new modern architecture… an old building next a new one… old narrow road connecting new streets… a place where you want to spend time in … then you have the main street with cafes and restaurants along both sides..

An outstandingly beautiful Gothic cathedral, right in the center of Kosice. It is the largest cathedral in Slovakia and it can be visited for free. For €3 you can visit the cathedral bell tower, which is a steep and narrow climb that starts outside of the main entrance to the cathedral.

St. Elisabeth Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the crown jewel of Košice. What makes the experience truly magical is the way sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows, casting vibrant colors across the stone walls and floor. The interplay of light and shadow creates a peaceful, almost sacred atmosphere that invites reflection. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the city!

Absolutely beautiful cathedral, we enjoyed climbing up to the bell tower very much . Amazing views of the whole city underneath.

Lovely show, it seems to keep going all evening! Nice selection of quite random songs too, all a bit of fun.

A stunning fountain both in the day and at night, when the lights start about 6pm. So lovely to just sit and listen to the music with the mesmirising water. Also seeing families and children enjoy it so much.

In Košice, the Singing Fountain on Hlavná Street is such a nice spot — perfect for summer refreshment and good times. I spent so much time here with Tomi: the water jets, music, playful energy, kids everywhere, just full of life and positivity. The fountain isn’t just beautiful, it’s fun: we’d sit nearby, relax, watch the show, hear laughter, and feel the city breathe. Interesting fact: The Singing Fountain was built in 1986, making it the oldest “singing fountain” in the former Czechoslovakia.

The singing fountain is a great water-feature, complete with a light-show and musical background. Unfortunately it doesn't always work and there's no published schedule. We weren't lucky enough to see the light show.

Fun attraction in the center of Kosice. Seems to be active from 10am and it's illuminated after dark.

Its main attraction of the main square.. a must visit places in Kosice.

A great place to sit and eat lunch and chill on a summer's day, probably best experienced in the darker hours for full effect bonus of coloured lighting in the fountains of water 👍💯👌

I went here with my family and it was so cool seeing animals I had never seen in my life. The zoo was so big with so many animals to see. I liked the little food outlet there which we stopped by for some food and a Kofola. The peacock at the entrance was nice for taking photos but got slightly aggressive towards the end and even ran at a young g boy! 😲😅 I especially liked the Meerkats and how one would stay guard while the others did all sorts of random things. Unfortunately we didn’t see the Lynx and the wolfs weren’t there at the moment. Amazing overall and would definitely go again.

Really good for kids , little boring for adults . Price not so bad . You need to Pay for car park 3 euros a day on top of entrance ticket. Zoo is located about 15 min drive from centrum of Kosice.

We could have certainly spent more time here. There was plenty of paid parking for the zoo and other nearby attractions, including a summer bobsled. The price to enter the zoo varies on the age of the visitor, the month, and whether you want to visit the DinoPark. We decided not to see the DinoPark and for two adults, and our 11 year old it was €30.00. Although, confusingly, had we had an extra child it would have cost us less. Anyhow, as a one off, it was worth it. There were many animals that we haven't seen in other European Zoos. The enclosures seemed a bit small but this selfishly provided a much better chance of seeing the animals. Parts of the zoo are on substantial slopes and I did see visitors with pushchairs struggling to get around. There were a number of stalls and a cafe offering food and refreshments, plenty of picnic benches and an abundance of wasps.

The Zoo itself is very big and you will do a lot of walking and conquer some small hills as the pavilions for various animals are not so close. You will find all the main animals, that your kids are looking for. I would add but more signs on where the animals are exactly located. The environment is very nice and feels like being in the forest. Recommending checking when they feed the animals with commentary as this is very nice to see and you get interesting information. The Zoo is quite remote from the Košice. Don't rely on the navigation as it can take you through not very much maintained roads, although appearing the shortest way.

The zoo was one of the best I've ever been to and it had a bunch of exotic animals that I've never seen before with my own eyes. I was also happy with the directions given by the park, because they were somewhat reliable and didn't require any knowledge of Slovakian to understand. The only negative things about the park are that most of the restaurants are closed and the distances between the different habitats are long.

It is always pleasure to visit this place :) No matter how full parking is there is always space for you to get around playground, animals, coffee or Dino park. The best this time, was to see small bears to fight and one of them even climbed the tree. We recommend to take some vehicles if you are with kids 🛴😊

The Zoo is a wonderful place for the whole family. I do recommend visiting the Dinopark if you have a little fan of the dinosaurs.

Very nice climb to the top.

Beautiful historical cathedral. Definitely a place to see when visiting Prešov. Also, worth a while is a tower of this cathedral with a breathtaking view of the historical city centre

Very nice city and recommend to visit

Beautiful church. We also climbed up to the tower and the view was also beautiful. Climbimg up the tower was a bit scary, because for me the wooden floors and stairs didn't seem to be very firm and stable. But I think it was actually fine and I was just being a scaredy-cat.

You should climb to the top. Beautiful view. Super

I like it a lot. The atmosphere was very nice. It's not so big, but it's beautiful.

Nice catholic Cathedral in historical city centrum

A very beautiful basilica, worth a visit. Payment for entrance is in cash only.

They seem to have problems with foreigners here as I see on reviews below,. We wanted to buy 3 tickets and the man was lovely, torn the tickets out and asked for €9. Till I got my wallet oversized lady pipped out of the corner - not too sure what was her role - I guess judge -claiming our outfit is not to her liking - naked shoulders 30°C and we are on holidays coming from little to non judgemental country as who is wearing what. To the Church management: Please have the dress code requirement written down. To the lady who didn't allow us enter the church and by her action show in real life to my children 11 and 16 how Christian acts. Sadly my children will remember that for years to come for all the wrong reasons. Jesus would not be proud of you. “I give you a new commandment. Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love I have for you by loving one another everybody will know that you're my true followers" God is Love.

Climbing the tower here would probably be the only good way to see the entire market square at once and catch it entirely in the photo* *I said "would" instad of "it is" because the viewpoint is surrounded by a net, which will mess up your photos, as seen below.

Beautiful church and great view on the square from the tower. The inside of the church was smaller than I expected. The tower has a very narrow stairway to go up (and down). Usually not too crowded.

Beautiful historic church in the middle of the town square, stunning inside and has 2 old bells just outside that are a few hundred years old with history written in English and Slovak. Well worth popping in and soaking up the history.

A wonderful medieval church with astounding artwork, including paintings, woodwork and stone carving.

Majestic Basilica. Ancient, historic, very moving. Beautiful stained glass.

A quick expensive ride up the hill.

Cool

Super

Beautiful ride.

Super.

Nice one ❤️

Super

What a wonderful place! We went on a beautiful sunny day, but it was still stunning. Great place to eat, walk, relax. Because it's traffic-free, there's an air of peace and tranquility. Loads of opportunities for lody!

Always love to visit Krynica. Deptak is a great place to take a walk along with your family. We visited at Christmas and New Year's and the town was beautifully decorated for the holidays. There are many restaurants with polish and regional food as well as hotels and stores with local hand-made souvenirs.

We returned to Krynica-Zdrój after about 10 years and were absolutely enchanted! ❤️ The promenade and the surrounding buildings look stunning – beautifully maintained, full of charm, and truly impressive. It’s so easy to fall in love with this place all over again. Congratulations and many thanks to everyone who put so much effort into making Krynica shine and delight visitors. We’ll definitely be back much sooner this time!

A beautiful and full of history place for a walk.

Very busy during the day. Much better after 7pm

Super

Car free, nice historic architecture, lots of greenery, snow removed in winter. Plus kitchy souvenirs

Nice view! Recommended as trip destination for families

so so ...

Mega

Amazing place

Super

This is a peak of expectations.

(Translated by Google) What a place...the views, the amazing hiking and biking trails. You'll find the call of nature here. It's a place with few tourists. There's something for everyone. It's worth visiting just to commune with nature. There's a large, free parking lot near the gondola lift. However, if you're stubborn and want to park right at the door, you'll have to pay for that pleasure. The price for entering the viewing platform (the views are the same without actually climbing it 🤣) and the ascent and descent is a bit too high for me - 69 złoty per person. I recommend it to anyone who loves mountains of varying heights 😉 (Original) Co za miejsce...widoki, szalone wyprawy piesze i rowerowe. Tu znajdziesz zew natury. Jest to miejsce z małą ilością turystów. Dla każdego coś dobrego. Warto znaleźć się w tym miejscu po to chociaż by poobcować z naturą. Przy kolejce gondolowej bardzo duży darmowy parking. Jeżeli ktoś się jednak uprze i będzie chciał pod same drzwi zaparkować to już za tą przyjemność się płaci. Cena za wejście na platformę widokową ( bez wchodzenia na nią te same widoki 🤣) oraz wjazd i zjazd to jak dla mnie troszkę za dużo - 69 złotych od osoby. Polecam dla zakochanych w górach o różnej wysokości 😉

One of the recommended castles to visit in Slovakia. A large castle, impressive and amazing in its beauty. One should devote at least an hour and a half to the visit in order to enjoy all corners of the place. Recommended for a visit with children. It should be taken into account, there is a sharp rise from the parking lot to the entrance of the castle.

Absolutely stunning and magnificent! The site is quite large and it took us about 2 hours to explore everything. The tower is a must-see! You can climb up and get unbeatable, panoramic views of the surrounding area. Highly, highly recommended!

Best castle I’ve visited. A must see in Slovakia. Currently under construction so the ticket is discounted. The area is huge so plan to stay for 2 hours if you want to walk through everywhere. Tickets can be reserved online but the line wasn’t bad for us. Different parts of the castle offer different angles of views, and they were all breathtaking.

Amazing location and breathtaking views from up there. Small coffee shop and a gift shop there too. The walk up to it isn’t so bad. Get there early as the park down before taking the hike to the castle gets filled fast and you’ll end up parked further down the road and that will be a little more challenging to hike up to it.

It dominates the landscape from its hilltop perch above the village of Spišské Podhradie, easily accessible from Poprad by bus in one hour, followed by another hour's walk to the castle. Although in ruins, it's well worth a visit, and the views along the way are spectacular.

Even though some parts have been under construction from 2017 through 2027, it remains one of my favorite castle or fortress sites in Central Europe. The large courtyards gives it a feeling of space and breathing room, which is not too common in castles usually. They also give room for some events like medivial festivals or concerts which is cool. Also the location being situated on a large hill, gives it one of the best views from any castle or fortress I've visited.

Amazing castle with stunning views across Slovakia. A must if you're visiting. Tickets can be purchased on site. Castle is a ~10m uphill walk from the car park.

Very impressive castle with a very interesting history. Nice little outdoor museum with wooden buildings from the area next to it. Definitely well worth a stop.

The Ľubovňa Castle (Ľubovniansky hrad) is a stunning medieval fortress perched above the town of Stará Ľubovňa in northern Slovakia. Built in the 13th century, it offers a captivating glimpse into Central European history, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. Visitors can explore richly furnished rooms, a tower with panoramic views, and even a dungeon. The adjacent open-air museum showcases traditional Slovak village life. The castle’s role in regional politics, including its time under Polish administration, adds to its historical allure. Well-preserved and engagingly presented, Ľubovňa Castle is a must-visit destination for history lovers and cultural travelers alike.

Such a lovely castle, with so much history. I was visiting it first time with school 25 years ago, so naturaly I don't remember anyhing from back then. At the entrance we received a small map with a tip that we don't have to follow numbers in order to enjoy the exposition. All was very well marked, to my surprise even some places were accessible, like cellar with steep steps. One enters on one side, walks through short, but dark and damp corridor and exits at other side. At number 13 - tower - we had the most amazing view. Getting there was at some moments claustrophobes nightmare, but we continued and were rewarded. At number 9 there is a piano, that is so immensly out of tune, that I couldn't play anything. Chapen at no 10 was very nice, we donated some coins for the castle repair. The mirror was not working, so at least we took a selfie. It takes about an hour an half to go through the whole castle, we liked video of how the castle was build (no 14). At no 17 we wrote into the book how we liked it. Personal recommendation is to wear proper shoes. Getting to the castle is nice and paved, but inside some steps and stones can be dangerous. If you need a cane for walking, definitely take it.

Very interesting place and worth seeing. Refreshment stand is too small and service is very slow.

Historic castle very well preserved and maintained, worth to visit.

Very pleasant surprise, we waited for guided tour. And wow, he spoke really well, loudly and without getting stuck in words. It's pretty long tour around 2 hours. For the price it's pretty good experience, parking is 4€ a day.

castle in the east of Slovakia. The castle is in good condition, the process of reconstruction is actively underway. Be sure to climb the highest tower. there is a very beautiful view of the valley. There is a bus station a few kilometers from the castle

Beautiful place which is always wort of visiting. Professional guide and beautiful garden 🪴 accessible also without having needed to buy an entrance ticket 🎫. Warmly recommended.

I was amazed at the detail and original condition of the castle's furnishings. with a tour guide in Hungarian approx. 1 hour to walk around the castle. This was my best experience visiting a castle, the environment is so detailed.

(+) This castle is exceptionally beautiful with its magical English landscape park, paintings, trophies and interior design. The guests can gain insight into the region's and the Andrássy family's rich history. I think that the whole experience evokes the atmosphere of Sándor Márai's novel, The Candles Burn Till the End. (-) However, I couldn't pay by card at the shop, there was no time to really enjoy the exhibition since we had to rush with a group, and almost none of the exhibited pieces have Hungarian (altough the castle is a Hungarian heritage) or even English description. After all, it was absolutely worth a visit and take a look, but the maintainer could make progress through some changes.

A luxurious castle with a well-preserved interior. The excursion was with a very pleasant guide. There are souvenir shops and cafes on site. Paid parking (€4/day) right next to the castle.

Very nice place to visit not only for history lovers! Castle as well as the park has a special atmosphere of the old times. Went for a tour 18/9/20 with a brilliant and enthusiastic guid who showed us rich and well preserved artifacts.

Beautiful old Slovakian heritage building you need to see when you are passing by. Some of the exponates are as old as 1500. In case you are in to old artefact, history and paintings you need to see this place.

This is TOP site of Gemer region, you must visit it, we always take our private day tours there. Been there many times, local guides are fantastic inside the chateau, very interesting history and beautiful interior!

The mountains. I love them and especially The Pieniny Mountains. There are small but so much picturesque and beautiful. It is easy to start walking in Poland and end up in the cosy and tasty Slovak restaurant on the other side of the border.

A very nice trip and must go for boat trip. Scenic view while riding the river boat

Great place for hike.. Amazing view.. Best place for a day trip.

A place to visit with beautiful nature landscapes.

Incredibly beautiful First National Park Of Europe...take the rafting tour through Dunajcem River Gorge...really worth it

Beautiful but way too busy.

Great place. Must to see 😉

Great place for hike. All roads interconnect so you can start on blue, go through green and end up on yellow which leads to a very granular way of choosing difficulty. Ladders are great although some people may get stuck on them which leads to huge queues. Parking is 5€ for whole day so nothing to worry about. Most places accept card payment also above 5€.

We drove quite a distance to do Sucha Bela and I would have driven even more it was amazing. What a special park. Camping at the bottom was GORGEOUS and the ladders throughout Sucha Bela was so unique and amazing I feel blessed to have experienced it.

We went on the Suchá Belá trek on a sunday afternoon in early May. The weather was ideal, the temperature stayed lower in the canyons. It's not physically challenging, but there are many ladders where people with vertigo could have problems. Overall it's a great experience. We could finish the up and down in 3.5 hours by going at a good pace,but not running of course.

This park is a true paradise for nature lovers, hiking, climbing, cycling, and everything that comes with it. On top of that, the nearby restaurants serve wonderful regional food. Definitely a place we will keep coming back to.

Lovley place, we went on the last day of our stay so only could experience a small fraction of what was on offer. We went around the Palcmanská Maša lake, it’s about a 12k walk all around and was mostly flat, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants and also a waterfall on the walk. Hidden gem

Top place for relaxing, hiking, trekking Much space outside the season Grey water, fresh water, chemical toilet, all here. Draft beer, Coffee maker, kitchen, washingmachine, dryer. Showers with coins.

Definitely one of Slovakia's and Europes hiking highlights in my opinion.

Very nice place, mjust visit if you are in Slovak paradise. From the parking lot ( 5 Euro parking fee, for the whole day, I guess, we arrived around 15.00 hours and payed the same ) you must walk around half an hour on a beautiful path to the cave. Make sure you have proper hiking shoes ( not flip-flops or sandals as we saw ... ) and warm clothes, it is very cold in the cave and the guided tour ( which can be very boring because it is only in slovacian language ) takes around 30 minutes. Near the ticket office ( payment is only in cash ) there a re a few qr codes in different languages for a small info about the cave. You can take photos and videos only if you pay 10 Euros in advance.

The cave is beautiful and it's super unique experience, hands down, so don't miss it. But, parking is not free and only cash and cave tickets can't be paid by card either! We had to realize this at the entrance after the 10 mins hill climb from the parking... And you have to buy photo ticket for 10 EUR to be allowed to take photos inside the cave.. The only option was to change from Ft as we had no Euro at hand. Also the English tour means playing recordings at the points.

If you are in the area, it may be worth a visit. It's an interesting natural phenomenon, to see ice in the middle of summer. It’s a strenuous walk up, my 70-year-old mom could not make it. Inside the cave it’s a short walk, we’ve spent max 15-20 minutes. And it was enough. Check the pictures, it’s kind of boring.

It's really wonderful that there's so much ice inside the cave. Sad, that it's melting. We climbed 1km up the mountain. It took 20 min for us at quite a fast pace and then we appeared at the entrance of the cave. Next to the entrance you can buy the tickets. The Dobsinska Ice Cave is almost 1.5km long, but tourists' route is around 500 m long.

Nice experience. There’s a 20-minute walk uphill through nature (recommended to wear closed shoes). The tour itself lasts about half an hour, and we didn’t take the English tour (not sure if there is one). Note that parking costs €5 in cash only, and in addition to the ticket price, taking photos requires an extra €10 — also cash only!

Quite a stiff walk up to the cave entrance from the carpark (2.50 euros for a motorbike.) The cave is interesting. The tour is short with lots of steps and there's no English translation. Despite this, worth a visit, especially if you've never been to an ice cave.

Overall, very good experience, I recommend it. My advice is to prepare cash (cannot pay by card), the way up is challenging, if you are not an experienced hiker (although, there are benches, info boards and a nice swing to help you to rest) and the change in temperature is huge.

An impressive and unforgettable experience! Belianska Cave truly exceeded my expectations. The tour is over 1 km long and takes about 70 minutes, with numerous steps and noticeable elevation changes throughout the route. The cave’s long corridors and dramatic formations are fascinating, and it’s amazing to think that it was only discovered in the early 1800s. I found it particularly interesting that before the war, visitors navigated the cave via wooden staircases and entirely at their own risk — a glimpse into how much things have changed! The tour guide was good and funny (a woman) and clearly passionate, although there was no English-speaking option available — just printed materials in Polish and Slovak. Still, if you’re a cave enthusiast, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

This cave is definitely worth a visit — the guided tour lasts about 70 minutes and the experience is truly unforgettable. You can leave your car at the lower parking lot (€7 or €5 depending on the spot), and then hike uphill for about 30 minutes — the trail is steep in some parts, so be prepared for a bit of a workout. Tours start every hour, but in high season they may run every 20–30 minutes. Entrance is €14 per person, with an additional €10 fee if you want to take photos — don’t skip it, it’s absolutely worth it! Cards are accepted. Our guide — a young guy with longer hair — was super friendly and funny, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Inside the cave, you’ll climb over 860 stairs, and the groups are about 30 people each, so you need to keep up a decent pace. All in all, an excellent experience!

Belianska cave is one of the most visited accessible caves in Slovakia. In addition to bizarre rock shapes, it is known for its abundant calcite sinter filling. Although interest in the natural attractions of the cave has persisted for more than 125 years, the laws of its creation have not been fully clarified until now. It is very important to take into account (it is not written anywhere) that the road from the parking lot to the entrance of the cave is a very steep climb that takes about 40 minutes. Inside the cave, there are 866 steps that must be taken into account, especially for people who have difficulty walking. An absolutely impressive cave. The length of the tour is about 70 minutes. Please note, entry only during guided tour hours.

Warning: Don’t look at the one star reviews for this place. They’re all so stupid. Some examples. It’s cold. What did you think it was going to be?! It’s a cave not a beach in Hawaii. The tour was in Slovak. Hmmmm… Where is this cave located? In Slovakia!!! Who would have thought that a place in Slovakia would have tours in that language. There were a lot of stairs. You do realise caves are formed naturally. Not everything revolves around you and the cave isn’t going to make itself flat just because of you. Of course there is going to be stairs involved. Seriously use some common sense people. Unfortunately there are more examples but I don’t want to elevate my heart rate too much. Onto the actual review: The tour guide was pretty funny. We were listening to the tour in Slovakian but there was also Polish audio from speakers in the cave system. The lights were placed really well and illuminated the cave nicely. I liked the concert part at the end which played music and lights turned on and off. I just wish the tune could’ve been better 😂 I don’t know how to phrase this but be warned of the steep climb there. If you can’t manage the climb there, then probably don’t bother going in the caves. Give yourself enough time to get up. Another tip is to go during a time that is less busy because apparently the queues can get quite long. Luckily when I went during a school day I think, there was no queue at all! The annoying thing was that taking photos and videos cost €10. €10! That’s a scam. No one in my group bought it yet everyone was taking pictures. They need to lower that price.

Great experience! One piece of advice. Arrive at least 30-40 minutes before your scheduled tour . There is a 1100m walk uphill from the nearest parking and it might be tiresome.

You need to walk for half an our, up to the cave. Inside will take around 1 hour 10 minutes.

Hike up to the cave is not easy, but as the guide said, if you are not able to do it, you won't be able to walk the cave... But the cave itself is stunning and our guide was great! If you have got good fitness, I totally recommend it!

A nice castle that can be explored quite quickly on a self-guided tour. It didn’t offer anything particularly unique, but the castle and surroundings are beautiful – from the walls you can see Czorsztyn Castle across the reservoir, and you can also reach it by boat. The area around the castle is full of stalls and attractions. Unfortunately, the charm of the place is spoiled by the sheer number of tourists – at times it feels literally shoulder to shoulder.

Amazing place. There is a big parking lot right in front of the fortress. There is also a toilet there if you need one, I would suggest using it before going in as there are no toilets in the fortress. The fortress is beautiful and kept in good shape! You get a plan before going in so you know where you are. You'll need around one hour for the visit and when youre done, you can walk across the bridge to a nice house in a small forest area. There you can rest outside or buy something from the nice old lady there! Worth seeing!

Excellent castle and grounds, well worth the visit. There is a lot of steps inside so if you're not so good with steps then might not be for you. Great views from the top of the reservoir and surrounding areas The only thing that let's it down is graffiti in pretty much every area including the walls of the castle upon the entrance. So sad to see.

The parking is too expensive , to start with, as it is anyway an attraction reached mostly by car. They rob you with parking fees in many such places. The castle looks superb among the trees in top of the lake. The entry ticket is also expensive. There are around 15 rooms. All are recreated. The displays are very outdated, information is very limited. Definitely not worth the price, but castles are more expensive attractions. You have to pay for toilet even if you visited the castle!

The castle is very nice although it’s a bit small compared to normal castles in Poland. Yet it has very nice view and around 13 rooms to be visited with English explanations. In the entrance you need to ask for English booklet. If you go a bit late, you will come across a huge crowd yet if you go earlier it’s pretty empty.

Fantastic view, ticket price is 35zl (25.10.2025) A little bit weired that toilet price is not included 🤷

Nice place, to walk around the lake. But unfortunately we didn't visit inside because it was a scheduled tour and the next round was 1h+ of wait. Downside very touristic and the public beach next to it is tiny.

The view is amazing over the lake but its ok to visit if you are near by, if you are a person who appreciates the history for sure. But as a person who visited a lot of castles and enjoys them I dont think its worth the trip.

Wonderful place to visit but be prepared for long walk and toilets are outside the castle.

An impressive ruin located opposite Niedzica, above the reservoir. However, the interior doesn’t offer that much to see. The small parking lot next to the castle is insufficient, but you can park on a large, uneven grassy area – an alternative paid parking option. From there, it’s just a short walk to the ticket booth, followed by about 5 minutes walk and downhill to the castle, which is less enjoyable on the way back.

Worth visiting. nice views and full of historic information The walk way to the castle is tiring

There’s a fence from both sides of the castle entrance , so you can’t take a walk around the castle. Guy collecting the parking fee was super greedy - he asked for 3€ even though the castle was already closed and he left 10mins later (I found empty and at that time already free parking 100 meters back the road.) The castle looks nice from the distance, but I’m not sure if it is worth going inside.

Authentic atmosphere takes you hundreds years ago. Well kept castle. Breathtaking views on the lake. We were family of five and enjoyed every moment of our visit. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Small castle but very nice,with beautiful view and suroundings....worth to stop bye....

It’s good place to be visited only for walking and relaxing into fresh air and get some beautiful views with pictures as memory

Amazing lake, beautiful walk around the lake, suitable for small kids as well. Nice playground at the middle. Beautiful at the sun set 🤩

Amazing place to go hiking or just to enjoy the peaceful lake and surroundings. One of my favorite place in Slovakia.

Wonderful place to enjoy mountanious area, lots of hiking trails give you amazing scenery in the end.

Awesome place with a unique blend of ambience and hospitality. Can change its looj overnight depending on the weather. Brilliant to gloomy and back. Worth a longer stay, we'll most definitely return to see it in the summer.

Amazing, easy to get there, parking costs are 10€/day nearly everywhere.

I recommend the multi-storey car park. However, the lake is not marked from the parking lot. From the parking lot, go left towards the souvenir shop, then right up the asphalt road. Then go where the crowds are going that way. :)

Beautiful nature, big mountains , under pine trees go threw up to the top of Kasporowy Wierch .

Impressive. Since place is available by cable car, easy to reach also for older and not traied people an kids. Views are nice when weather is good.

For those who want to spend amazing moments in the winter ... and do not like to approach after going down on foot :)

Beautiful but too much waiting time for the cable car.

In addition to the heel and toe system, you can go up the hill from Zakopane with a lift. I recommend buying lift tickets in advance. Starting in the morning, queues for buying tickets are usually very long in the summer when the weather is nicer. The lift also has an intermediate station where you can make a change if necessary and change part of the ascent (or descent) to a walking tour. The upper lift station also has restaurants (on two floors, the lower of which is always less crowded), a toilet (for a fee) and a phone charging station (lockable free lockers in the room next to the toilets).

If you're in zakopane, it's a must see 👌🏽

Must see!

We has daily free access included in our accommodation. It was great! Clean, not too crowded, even earlier when families were there. The 2 big slides were amazing, there was ample room in the bubbles outdoors and indoors. The locker system is genius and very easy to use. The views of the mountains are beautiful. Very easy to spend 2 hours here unwinding. The staff were very patient and friendly, despite our terrible Polish!

Very nice aquapark. In the city so quite small. Not a lot of seating inside.

A great way to spend a cold afternoon with our two teenage boys while visiting Zakopane. The outdoor pools we very clean and really warm and nice to relax in and look at the mountains. Good value for a couple of hours and yiu can hire towels too. The slides were good fun for the boys.

The Aqua Park ticket price Happy Hour is very correct coz more than 3h when you don't have childrens you cannot stay coz very boring. The pools inside still cold and outside is just perfect 🥰 The sauna areea is really not intersting , and the smell is not confortable. The parking capacitty is very small, and you need to pay 1zloty for each .

Small space with a lot of activities. Issue is with depth of pools (130cm deap), and only one place for babies. Probably would address issue with packing. Not enough space. In general our family of 4 was happy with unlimited time entry for 68eur

I have been with my 2 kids the 10th of Nov and it is really good. Important tips: 1.- parking is included since 1pln/ hour 2.-I were very early at 9 am for 2,5h. People is complaining that it is very crowded but until 11am it was great. It is true that after it becomes preaty crowded. 3.- with 2,5h it is was more than enough

We visited the Zakopane Water Park in the middle of the week. The day was cloudy, and we arrived around 1 PM. At the ticket counter, there were only two people in front of us, so there was practically no waiting. Inside, there were quite a lot of visitors. Getting into the thermal pools was easy, but to use the massage jets we had to wait until others finished. There was also a separate pool for guests aged 14+, which was a nice option. The outdoor pools had pleasantly warm water, though they were also quite crowded. At the slides, waiting times varied: about 5–10 minutes for the red slide and 10–20 minutes for the green one. Overall, it wasn’t too bad, but definitely noticeable. We didn’t try the food, but I checked the menu – prices seemed reasonable. The only downside is that the water park could be larger to better accommodate the number of visitors.

We been this week it was so good, nice restaurant, good food .Love it.

One of the places which you have to visit in Zakopane. Highly recommended!!!

If you come to Zakopane you need to visit this street. Lots of shops, restaurants, cafes. Lots of things to visit and beautiful views

Very beautiful and must visit street in Zakopane. It had cafés as usual and some fancy art and jewellery shop. There is a carriage ride as well (though super expensive). Nice vibe in the evening with tourists

Must visit while in Zakopanę area

Breath taking place

Just a lovely walk in between shops on the most commonly known street in Zakopane

Visiting the Old Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Zakopane was a truly special moment for me. Tucked away near the Cemetery of the Distinguished, this small wooden church, built in 1847, immediately drew me in with its quiet charm and deep sense of history. I was amazed by its simplicity and beauty — the wooden structure, built without a single nail, the hand-carved altar, and the folk-style decorations all felt so authentic. You can really feel the spirit of the Tatra highlanders here. Right behind the church is the historic cemetery, where many famous Polish artists, thinkers, and local legends are buried. Each grave is different, many of them with traditional wooden or stone markers, blending perfectly with the mountain atmosphere. I’m genuinely glad I visited this place. It’s peaceful, full of meaning, and gives you a strong connection to the roots of Zakopane. If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss it — it’s not just a sightseeing spot, it’s an experience.

All the wooden art in every single grave is impressive. This cemetery is a wonderful display of art, culture and faith, with every tomb having a special detail dedicated to honor those family members who have passed on. The beautiful backdrop of the mountains makes it even more beautiful.

Today I visited the Old Cemetery in Zakopane – also known as Stary Cmentarz na Pęksowym Brzyzku. It’s a really atmospheric and unique place, full of history and character. I saw the graves of some of the most famous people buried here, including legendary Polish figures like Tytus Chałubiński, Stanisław Witkiewicz, and Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer. The tombstones are beautifully carved, often made of wood and stone, with a strong regional highlander style. The entrance fee is 3 złoty per person – not a big amount, although it’s a bit unusual to pay to enter a cemetery. If you're in town, it's definitely worth a visit – peaceful, moving, and full of soul.

Who tours Poland and visits a cemetery? You should. This is a beautiful, peaceful work of art. The graves are incredible. Landscaping is outstanding. What a wonderful way to honor those who have moved on.

This is a beautiful small Cemetery but I am glad to see others here had the same experience / opinion as me - I have never ever come across being charged to see a cemetery even in the most famous cemeteries of London and Paris. To make things worse I was so surprised I thought the man must be selling flowers for graves rather than entry fee. He was not wearing any uniform and did not look in any way official. When I asked him if he had identification (in case was a scam) he became very aggressive and cursed at us - I had to tell him to lower his voice as we are in a cemetery. It was shocking experience. As an international visitor to be shouted at in a cemetery is really scandalous

Perfect to visit if it’s too rainy for hiking. Very peaceful

If you're passing by then it's a quick 10 min walk inside and you see some locally famous people buried there and some interesting looking graves. It's definitely not something major to come for on its own.

It's a pretty mountain range but we had to do a long day trip to see it. Personally, I didn't think it was worth it. The top of the hill has a number of repetitive kiosks of food and souvenirs but it all felt so touristy and commercial. I would not recommend this visit. You do need tickets for the funicular to go up although we saw people hiking - maybe that would've been a more fun activity.

Gubałówka in Zakopane offers stunning views of the Tatra Mountains and town. Funicular ride is easy and scenic. Some people may sell tickets outside at higher prices, but buying at the ticket window, machine, or online is safer and saves time. Great for photos, relaxing, and enjoying the mountain air!

Gubałówka was a great experience, even with the rain! Walking in the mountains was refreshing, and the views were beautiful. There are plenty of shops to eat and buy souvenirs. It’s also very family-friendly with lots of fun activities for kids.

🌄✨ Gubałówka: Where the Sky Meets the Soul ✨🌄 Standing above Zakopane, cradled by the gentle slopes of Gubałówka, where the wind carries whispers of mountain legends and the horizon stretches like a painted dream. At 1,129 meters above sea level, this beloved peak offers more than just a view—it offers a feeling. A hush. A moment suspended in time. The funicular ride itself felt like a passage into another world—glass-roofed, gliding upward as the rooftops of Zakopane fell away and the majestic Tatras rose to greet me. At the summit, wooden stalls brimmed with local crafts, the scent of oscypek and smoked meats danced in the air, and laughter echoed from cozy cafés tucked into the hillside. But it was the panorama that stole my breath: layers of misty peaks, golden light spilling over valleys, and the quiet awe of nature’s grandeur. Gubałówka isn’t just a destination—it’s a reminder to pause, to breathe, to feel. 📸 If you’ve ever been, you know. And if you haven’t—put it on your list. Your heart will thank you.

Just you have to visit. The view is amazing. Highly recommended!!!

Gubalowka is a must visit in Zakopane! The funicular ride to the top is smooth and scenic, offering a quick escape from the busy town center. Once you're up there, the views of the Tatra Mountains are absolutely breathtaking-especially at sunset. The area is well-developed with charming cafés, local food stalls, and shops selling handmade crafts and traditional Polish goods. Whether you're visiting in summer or winter, Gubalowka offers a unique blend of natural beauty and local culture. Highly recommend for a relaxing day with unforgettable views!

Beautiful landscapes and fresh air. Maybe a more suitable walking path would be useful.

Really enjoyed our visit here, for 8 euro it is reasonably priced. You have to be a bit lucky with the weather. Approx 28 different building which each have their own small story / facts that you can listen when you scan the QR code. Fairly easy to reach and free parking. Recommended !!

Great place to visit👍 you travel through history, can shop and eat local stuff and enjoy a beautifull valley .

It's heaven. Firstly because of location which is next to the mountains and then the traditional Slovak homes. It takes you to the old times of Slovakia. It's very well maintained and price of the ticket is very cheap to see the whole museum area. Best thing is it's not flooded with tourists, very few people were there. A must place to visit in Slovakia.

Incredible place to visit, well maintained.

Amazing experience, great pllace, nicely managed, good restaurant next to it!

This picturesque outdoor museum is set on a river within a forest and contains a fantastic snapshot of a historic village. It includes everyday tools, toys, and beautifully preserved dwellings. Descriptions are provided in several languages. It was very easy to imagine yourself living in this village from all of the details provided. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and so did my 3 year old. I would definitely recommend visiting this little gem.

This place is amazing. We spent 2 hours there, read all information while walking around. Adult entrance is 4€, kids below 6y are for free. There was beautiful music in church. The river there is the cleanest I’ve seen in my entire life. This place has beautiful spirit. The time spent here was so worth it.

The ski resort in Jasna is a really great place for skiing! The slopes are varied, so both beginners and experienced skiers will enjoy it. The snow quality is great, and the slopes are well-maintained, which is awesome. Besides skiing, you’ll also find nice restaurants and après-ski activities where you can relax and grab a bite. It’s perfect for families, but if you’re an experienced skier, you’ll also find some challenging runs. Overall, if you’re looking for a solid ski experience, the ski resort in Jasna is definitely the right place to go.

Overall an amazing skii resort. Plenty of slopes for all levels. Did get very busy after New Years though with wait times of 30 minutes to just get on the beginner B3 chair lifts though.

Super bad! Jasna today is not what it was been couple of years ago. Super crowdy. You should wait in que for 1.5 hours. There is no available pay car parking. Infrastructure is not ready to take upon that many people. It is dangerous. Very many crushes. And over all prices are extremely high. Much more expensive than Austria, Italy or even Scandinavia! Don’t go there.

Great place and world-class ski resort, numerous blue, red and black ski slopes for everybody, many lifts and cable cars, numerous restaurants and bistros, après-ski bars, wellness centers and good transport which are free with ski pass. If you go with a car make sure you get there before 8am otherwise you won’t find parking space. Definitely suitable for a year-round visit, you will find many other attractions here and the whole region has a lot to offer, caves, bike rentals, hikes and many more. Highly recommended!!!

Really poor experience. They charge you 15 EUR for parking (you have to pay for a full day), even now during off season. You pay 31 EUR per adult to reach the top, just to find that the restaurant is closed. No mentions at the bottom, no mention on social channels.. we had 3 kids with us who we took the top to eat, as we knew it was cloudy so we couldn’t see much, we just wanted to take them to eat. The tiny bistro that was open instead, had no seating, no foods from their kids menu, and not surprising not a friendly service. To top it all off, you can only go down during designated hours, so we had to wait 25 minutes to go back down. 100 EUR spent between cable tickets, parking and French fries. Bad management is all I can say.

A world-class ski resort, numerous ski slopes, many lifts and cable cars, numerous restaurants and bistros, there are no shortage of luxury hotels, après-ski bars, wellness centers and good transport. Definitely suitable for a year-round visit, you will find many other attractions here and the whole region has a lot to offer.

One of the biggest ski resort in Slovakia with amazing tracks. I would really recommend to spend here at least 3-4 days to try all the tracks. The 4 star is because they stopped some of the elevators at 15:30 (they wrote 16) and on Monday despite the many skiers they stopped a few elevators all day. The quality of the tracks are the best before 2 PM. We will come back.

Not really expensive for entree, but taking video and pictures is additional €10,-. It’s a queue of 1,5 hour outside in the sun, cash register closed for 45 minutes during cave operations? The tour is in Slovakian and no English, so for us it was just a bit of looking around, but it was absolutely beautiful. It’s just a bit of a mess in this business here, just like the parking of €10,-. Admission fee is €14,- per person.

This cave is incredibly amazing. Stunning view inside. Highly recommended to must see if you are in the area. Paid extra euro to be able to take photos. Our tour guide was so nice to translate the language to English. It was an amazing experience.

Pretty cave but entry isn’t the cheapest, and neither is the parking. Will also say that you are not allowed to take photos without a photo pass, which costs extra

Would recommend 10/10! While the price of the parking ticket (€15) or admission fee (€14/€24) can scare you at first, you will soon realise that it's completely justified. We took the long tour (100 min) and I would suggest taking it as otherwise you will miss the most breathtaking and stunning experience - the Great Dome. It truly is once in a lifetime feeling seeing it for the first time. The whole tour you get to try to figure out what do the different, really varied formations resemble. As an example, in the photo attached a little mole is being strangled by a cobra 🐍 The guide speaks in Slovak but as our group was mainly Polish, there was also Polish audio played. I am not sure if there is English audio as well, but you can read most of the details in their official free English guide. If you are in the neighbourhood give it a go, you won't regret it!

The caves are impressive, but be prepared to listen to Slovak language for an hour even if in the group are only foreigners.

Great experience and breathtaking. Prepare yourself for long distance walk. The tour guide speaks only Slovakian which makes the tour very very boaring without understanding a single world. Even instructions inside were explained only in thier language. Specially for such a large group around 100 person in the tour. The path from Parking to the entrance were not clear and confusing. It worth the experience eventhough.

The cave system is worth seeing. The way it is adjusted for mass tourism is painful to see. Tons of concrete are everywhere. The pariking (not governed by a cave institution) is criminally expensive. 15 EUR

It was beautiful place. 8€ /1 hour for parking is a joke. Unfortunately, there was no ice inside. The informational content is available in several languages. Crew was nice. 👌

Demänovská Ice Cave was an unforgettable experience! We were amazed by the shimmering ice formations and the cool, mysterious atmosphere. It felt like entering a fairytale world hidden deep underground. The mix of rock and ice is simply stunning - massive icicles, frozen waterfalls, and unique shapes sculpted by nature. The temperature drop was refreshing on a hot summer day, and the guided tour was both interesting and informative (even if not in English, visuals speak for themselves!). It’s a short hike to reach the cave, but totally worth it. Bring a jacket and good shoes - and be ready to be amazed. A perfect stop for families, adventurers, or anyone who loves nature’s hidden beauty. Highly recommend it!

Nice cave. But there is no ice. According to the guide there hasn’t been for several years due to climate change. Other reviews that are saying that there is ice in the cave from the past 3 or more yrs are according to the park service incorrect. There are only tours in Polish and Slovakian. If you don’t understand these languages, you still have to follow a group due to safety and rules. However, one of the guides was incredibly kind and translated all the information for us. This is not a given, but do ask. It made the experience much better.

I recently visited this cave, and overall it was a nice experience. The cave itself is impressive, made of beautiful silicate formations, and the guided tour was excellent. Our guide spoke English very well and explained everything clearly, making the visit informative and enjoyable. There was even a light show, which added a unique touch to the tour. However, we were a bit disappointed because we expected to see ice inside the cave, which was the main reason we chose this one over other caves. Unfortunately, due to climate change, there is no ice anymore. While the cave is still worth visiting, travelers should be aware that it no longer has the icy features it is known for.

The cave itself was a pleasant experience with impressive natural features, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, organizing tours into English and Slovak-speaking groups for better communication. However, the visit fell short of expectations in a few key areas. A major disappointment was the lack of ice in the cave, which was only mentioned upon entry. This could have been communicated clearly on the website or at booking to set proper expectations. The organization felt lacking in this regard. Additionally, the parking fee of 15 EUR was surprisingly high and seemed excessive for the area. Visitors should also be prepared for a physically demanding climb to the cave entrance, which may not suit everyone and wasn’t adequately highlighted beforehand. Overall, while the cave and staff were enjoyable, better transparency about the ice, parking costs, and physical requirements would greatly improve the experience. I’d recommend visiting if you’re physically able and aware of these caveats, but the management could make improvements for a smoother visit.

The cave itself is impressive, although there’s no ice during the summer months anymore due to global warming. What I found disappointing, however, is that the tour is conducted only in Slovak. Considering it’s a tourist attraction, I think this is quite a drawback. It would have been much more engaging if I could actually understand what the guide was explaining. The leaflet provided with the tickets does include an English summary, but it’s very brief and only covers part of the information.

The cave is stunning. Obviously there is not as much ice as before but that makes it a very good reminder of the climate change that we cannot ignore anymore. Also I noticed a lot of reviews that are taking away a few stars because of the expensive parking. FIY the parking lot has nothing to do with the cave. The cave has no power over the prices of parking, do not punish them for someone else's greediness.

If you enjoy feeling exploited – go there. The entrance tickets are outrageously overpriced, and the place is packed with thousands of people, creating enormous queues for the slides. For some unexplained reason, on most of the slides – especially those designed for kids – you’re forced to wait for an inflatable tube, which makes the wait even longer and more cumbersome. On the main slides, you can end up waiting over an hour (!) in line, and then spend more long minutes waiting again at the top. Everything moves painfully slowly and inefficiently. But the real nerve is what they call “Express Tickets.” For an extra €3 per person per slide, they let you skip the main line and go straight up to the slide queue itself. So, while you – who already paid dozens of euros to get in – wait endlessly in the “regular” line, dozens of people who paid more casually walk past you. For every 20 “express” guests, they let through maybe 1 or 2 who paid the already outrageous regular admission. They’re counting on you to give up and pay more. It’s basically extortion. In 8 hours at the park, the kids barely managed 7 slides in total, and altogether spent about 5–6 hours waiting in line. The food is expensive too, and the queues for food are just as unreasonable. We won’t be coming back, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

The water park is huge and offers a wide variety of attractions, with something for everyone. The rides and activities were diverse and a lot of fun. Most of the attractions are outdoors, so weather can make a big difference. The only downside was that the major attractions had long waiting times. We visited on a sunny day, so it wasn’t too bad, but on colder days the wait could be less pleasant, especially for those not used to chilly weather.

This review is for the aquapark pools and slides, not the hotel. As we were not there The place is great and we spent the full day with kids, even though most of the slides were closed due to winter, it was still lots of fun and not crowded at all , October time

Absolutely fantastic experience at Aqua Park Tatralandia! So many slides, pools, and attractions for every age. The water is warm, everything is clean, and the staff are super friendly. Perfect mix of fun and relaxation — a must-visit when in Slovakia. PS: There was a magician😂

Visited Tatralandia Water Park today. The park is very large, with plenty of seating areas both outdoors and indoors. It can get extremely crowded, which may not be ideal for those who dislike crowds, but it offers a fun experience for most visitors above 120 cm in height. Only a few attractions require a minimum height of 140 cm. There are lockers available for storing belongings, and many restaurants on-site, though prices are relatively high, around €15 for a standard meal and €3 for drinks. The park has a wide variety of attractions and pools. We chose to visit mainly for the wave pools, but unfortunately, they were closed upon arrival. It’s possible to skip the long lines by paying €3 per ride, but this option isn’t available for all attractions and must be paid each time you want to skip the line. If you don’t bring a towel, you can rent one for €4. There is plenty of parking in the complex, including in the main lot.

Unbelievably crowded! Right at the entrance, at every slide (it took even 55 mins today for one of them), at all restaurants in the peak lunch time, and finally a decent queue at the exit to pay the consumption. It's a pity, because the place has very good facilities and potential, it's just the unlimited visitors left in on such a peak day, which creates such a distress.

Amazing waterpark. Super expensive but we had a wonderful day. We arrived at opening time so we could try all sides already without a wait. Even later during the day there weren't too long lines at the slides. Nice variety of slides. The animation team was fun and they organized fun games. They mostly speak Slovak and Polish though. Even though they can speak English, they spend little time or attention on also announcing their things in English. The volleyball with the huge ball was super fun. There are tons of beds available, so you'll always find one, even though people come in early to claim the best ones with a towel already while hardly using it throughout the day. Spent the entire day here from open to close and still would have loved to spend more time here. Parking is free. With these extreme entrance fees I find it annoying that they charge extra for silly things such as shooting a water canon. They smartly require tapping your wristband for it so you have no clue how much you've spent already. Mixed feelings about the option to pay 3 euro per person per ride to skip part of the waiting lines for slides. Luckily it wasn't so busy when we were there so it gave little to no advantage. Parking is free. Remember to bring sunscreen as most things are outside and with all the excitement you don't notice that you're getting burned. We got sunburned badly, but it was worth it.
