Museum
Natural History Museums
The Slovak Mining Museum, also known as the Mining Museum in Nature, offers guided tours of mining tunnels and showcases wooden dwellings from various parts of the country. It provides a comprehensive insight into the life of a miner and the evolution of mining techniques. Visitors can walk through cold and narrow tunnels to experience what it was like to work as a miner with limited technology. English-speaking guides are available upon request for an additional fee, who offer an informative tour with amusing anecdotes.
You can buy your ticket with cash or card. The mining museum was very interesting,the guide was really cool.

Interesting tour of the mine.
Parking is outside via an app or payment meter.
€5 for 2 hours or €10 all day.
Ticket prices for the museum are €14 per adult.
It can be wet inside the mine, so wear footwear that is good on wet, wooden planks....can be slippery.
Given an overcoat, helmet and torch before the tour
Free parking, tour takes 70mins, guide gave speech in local language and we had English notes. Nice and cool underground. Above ground limited artefacts to view but very enjoyable. Gift shop and snacks available.
We were just outdoor, but still a worth time we spent there. Kids had fun, there is very good exposition of rocks and minerals. The video for kids is very interesting, however, in slovak only so it has no value for a foreign visitor. Visits to the mines are scheduled every hour.
A bit creepy to be under ground in a place that's dark and dripping and where walking is a bit awkward because of the old mine tracks under your feet.
But really well managed, with helmets and raincoats to protect you from too much damage.
Unfortunately the tour was only in Slovak but the written English explanation helped. And the extra guide who speaks enough good English to explain what we asked.
Great experience!
Nice experience for adults and kids too. Reasonably staffed (helphull ladies at shop/coffee). Wide exterior/ground exposition and intresting mine/undergroud area. Could do with coat exchange (ones you get to protect your clothes)as some are worn down.
Fun experience.
But if you are a non Slovak speaker, you will need to pay an extra €20 for an English tour guide, which is I didn't do.
But go inside the tunnel is still fun to do.
One of the stop of the tour train. Take this little red train hop on hop off to watch around the old town, joyful to be bumped up and down all the way.
The highlight in the town is to visit the ancient underground mine. Different from the salt mines in Poland and Austria, due to the volcanic eruption, the metal mines here are rich in gold, silver and copper, and are narrow, dark and humid. There are running water on both sides of the trail, and sleeping upside-down bats can be seen in the cave, close at hand.
There are 14 levels in total, the top two levels are open for visitors, 50 meters deep, 8-9 degrees Celsius, equipped with helmet searchlights, and the whole journey takes 90-100 minutes to walk.

Castle
New Castle, located in Banska Stiavnica, is a 16th-century hilltop bastion that serves as an elegant architectural dominant of the town. This whitewashed Renaissance fortress was built to protect against potential Turkish invasions and has a striking appearance due to its historical significance as the site of battles with the Turks. Today, it operates as a museum showcasing displays on mining, weaponry, military uniforms, and the history of Turkish wars.
A nice little castle, or dungeon, as inside it is very simple architecture. The price is ok and there's a cool collection of weapons and firearms. Canon, rifles, pistols etc with swords, daggers and armors. Disposition of material is simple but you have small rooms which are well decorated. At the top floor, you will have a perfect view on the town below, the old castle and the red cavalry far away. I recommend the visit!
Le P — Google review
That's a nice castle museum where you can see relics and get info on the historical event around the Osman Turkish invasion.
There are printed guides in different languages, the view from here is awesome.
The parking lot is not far from here, 2 mimutes walk maybe. The staff is helpful.
Castle showing exhibits relating to the military aspects of the local area and the interaction with the Ottoman Turks. Whilst interesting was quite limited and I felt that more could have been done with the top floor showing how the e land and the locals interaction with it had changed
It is very cool it’s so historic. so much photos and historical things
Go just before the hour and you get trumpets and bells, great stuff! It's not a big walk unless you're a dachshund kind of person
One of many attractions in Banská Štiavnica. Na Castle was built as defensive and observatory tower during the way with Turkish soldiers during medieval time. That's also the topic for expositions inside the Castle. There are many weapons, pictures and maps explaining this difficult time of the history of this region. There are also wonderful vie from the top. I recommend coming after dark in winter time to see Calvary lit with lights. There is steep path leading towards Castle made of uneven stone which is not good for stroller. There are many stairs inside the Castle which makes it complicated for little children and elderly people. Even though there are many things to see and read about, I don't think you need to reserve more than 45 minutes for your visit. There are no guided tours there, you will be able to ask for paper guide in multiple languages, though.
New Castle, fortification to protect Turkish invasions in medieval times in very important mining town of Banska Stiavnica.
Small entrance fee worth coming in.
Inside exhibition of wars with Turkish. And amazing views over town itself and nearby Calvary.
Paid parking everywhere in town at outrageous prices but the revenue seems to be more embezzled by the corrupted municipality rather than spent to renovate this castle. The roughcast is falling appart, grass not cut.... Nothing worth the climb.

Love Bank is a unique and special place located in the picturesque valley of Banska Stiavnica. It serves as an exhibition space with the dual purpose of preserving a historic 16th-century building and showcasing the world's longest love poem, The Marina. This museum offers an exceptional and interactive experience where visitors can immerse themselves in the deep emotions of love through dynamic presentations.
Well, this place is just... awesome. The story of the longest love poem in the world is presented here in absolutely exceptional way. It's definitely not just another museum. It's real experience where you use your love to make the poem live. Dynamic, interactive presentation of deepest love will catch your heart. And more - if you are in love and you do believe your love will last forever, or you are married for ages and still loving your partner, come here and put your symbol of your love into small box in Archive of Love. Much much better idea than putting some lock on the bridge... You may think this Club of Epicentrum of Love is primarily meant for couples, but it's not. I think it is great for families as well. Or even for widows/widowers. Simply said, it's for any Story of Love. Some logistic: interior is very nice from the beginning to the end. Credit cards accepted. Very nice souvenir shop. Staff absolutely kind, friendly and helpful - they are just full of love :-) Prepare for your visit though - especially parking in the whole city is problematic. We were lucky and park near the venue, but locals recommend to use kind of P+R parking near the old school. I will do that next time because it's small city and everything can be reached within 15 mins walking. The only problem could be that the city is hilly.
Juraj K — Google review
A 50min tour that includes 20min video, 10min photo shooting in a room with love letters, 15 min in a room with the original book, 5 min that tells you to put your love letter in the bank for 100 euros. The tour costs 12 euros and it's a bit expensive for what is worth. In my opinion you pay only for the photo in the room with love letters. The story is very very plain and short.
If you have high expectations or you are short of time, you could avoid this place. You can see the room in the photos here.
If you have spare time and you wish to put your names in the love bank for 100 euros then you can go for it. Fun tour to spend your time in this small city.
On march 17 2023 a fire lay waste to several historic building in the centre of the town. As you can see from the photo, the love bank was turned into a pile of rubble and smoking remains…
Sadly this place burned down in 2023. A lot of neighbouring houses were badly damaged as well. In the street is currently a photo exhibition which shows the efforts of the firefighters and of the general public that came to help carry artworks to safety.
That was a fantastic experience for me... Here are some photos I took!
Very beautiful place! I absolutely recommend it to anybody. Doesn't matter if you're going there with your partner or group of friends. Wonderful experience of love story between Marína and one of biggest literary personality of Slovakia.
We weren't allowed to go to the shop because we did do the tour. Receptionist said "it would not make sense for us". She looked little slow so I didn't take it personally. I truly hope this is not enforced by the owner.
Loved the design and the whole concept built around the longest love poem ever written ( official guinness world record). Great place which is still yet to be discovered by many tourists. Definitely this is early stage and the great times of this attraction will come. You should hurry up though, cause the love bank has limited lifetime boxes :)

The Old Castle in Banská Štiavnica
4.5
(503)
Museum
The Old Castle in Banská Štiavnica has a rich history, having been rebuilt multiple times to serve different purposes. Its medieval character is evident throughout the building, with features such as Renaissance and Baroque elements dating back to 1681. The castle's Knocking Tower, used for signaling various events to miners, adds to its historical charm.
Great castle that you can explore thoroughly. Can walk around the ramparts and climb the turrets. Housing a former jail and blacksmiths and guided tours bring this former chapel, converted into a castle.
Nyumbani P — Google review
Interesting castle. The inner keep was originally a (large) church. Nice views over the town. Lots of steep stairs if you want to see everything.
Small old castle with central church and high walls. Walk the walls and climb to the towers for great views of the city and countryside, and peruse a few demonstrations of the local history and people. Worth the small fee.
The old castle boasts really great views of the city, but it does not give you access to them. The tower with the Gothic staircase leads you up only to a closed tower with no viewing platform. The inside of the castle is largely empty, although you can walk the ramparts. Overall, it is overpriced for what you are getting. They should spend more money on the main clock tower itself and allow visitors to go up. Inside, the expositions should have larger explanations as the ones near the statues were too small to read.
One of the most interesting castles I've visited here in Slovakia. Amongst the many things to see within the castle grounds, it houses an exhibition of the famous Zachar Karol clay pipe making workshop, there is a breath taking series of altar paintings/sculptures of the way of the cross, and a beautiful bell tower you can climb. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The castle is only open once every two hours for visitors, and tickets are available for purchase by cash only.
It didn’t feel that safe but I didn’t get hurt and it was very cool it was so old that’s why it was so scary. it’s worth it buying a ticket you should go there.
Very cool visit!
Part of the visit (inside of the former church) is with an interesting commentary from the castle guide. The lady is happy to reply to your questions and offers very thorough background info re the castle, its history, the town itself and also re the history of Kalvaria.
You can climb up and walk around the walls and go up to the main tower.
There are placed the original paintings on wood from Kalvaria. It worth visiting and seeing them.
Wear comfortable shoes as some wooden stairs are very steep and small!

If you're looking for an engaging and educational experience, "CESTA V ČASE" is the perfect destination. This interactive museum offers a delightful blend of history and technology, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. With friendly guides providing English commentary and reading materials, everyone can enjoy the fascinating exhibitions that showcase Banska Stiavnica's rich heritage through innovative virtual reality displays.
Amazing young lady positively inspiring excited about technology and holds an ambition to encourage children to learn more about what they’re capable of doing with their devices. Well deserved recognition for her dedication to want to teach. I did learn something from her myself. Big up for her. Take your kids if you want them to learn about the devices they use you can sit and eat cake drinking coffee with wifey while Barbara put the kids through technology awareness for kids. I’m totally impressed try to get the gold bar from the round hole if your fingers are strong enough. Have fun

Very detailed& fun. The visuals were good & more realistic than I thought. We enjoyed it
Very fun, interactive experience for all ages. Demonstrations of history and mining through videos and props, and an immersive experience going back in time from space to dinosaurs. It's a work in progress but very enjoyable.
I visited the place with my class during our school trip to the town. The owner and the staff was very kind and helpful. The teenagers really enjoyed the attractions very much.
It was amazing historical tourism place. They gave us many information about history of Banská Štiavnica.
A simply perfect interactive museum, with very friendly guides. We were all delighted, both kids and adults.
It was an excellent experience! We strongly recommend it :)
Great friendly museum

Penzión na Kopci, s.r.o. is a charming guesthouse nestled in the hills of Banska Stiavnica. The property offers comfortable rooms with picturesque views of the town and surrounding landscapes. Guests can start their day with a complimentary breakfast before exploring the nearby Historic Town of Banska Stiavnica and the Technical Monuments. The family-friendly pension provides amenities such as free Wi-Fi, a garden, terrace, picnic area, and barbecue grills.
I spent a couple of very pleasant nights at Penzion na Kopci. Everyone was warm and inviting from the moment I walked in. My room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. I had dinner at the hotel and it was delicious. The included breakfast was more than satisfactory, and for a small hotel had a good selection of hot and cold items. And of course the views from the property are amazing. And for those complaining that they had to walk uphill to get there, the name of the place is Guesthouse on the Hill.

This is a wonderful hotel with one of the best locations you could ever wish for! From the windows, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city, the castle, and the beautiful surroundings. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for a pleasant stay.
But the true highlight of this place is the amazing hosts and staff — kind, attentive, and always ready to help. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
We had a great 1 night stay in room No 2. Clean & well equipped room with the best selection of TV channels I have ever seen in Slovakia. Good WiFi. Nice breakfast (including great scrambled eggs) on the terrace. Friendly owner on hand to make sure you have a great stay. 25 minute walk to the centre of town but pavement all the way.
I can not recommend this hotel enough, they have gone out of there way to make our stay awesome. When we told them we were leaving early they even opened the kitchen an hour early to make us breakfast. Just lovely people in a great location.
We enjoyed our stay here. This is a very nice family-run hotel with spectacular views. The host is very warm and welcoming. Our room is clean, tidy and spacious. Good quality and delicious breakfast. Love it!👍💗
Very relaxing accomodation with beautiful view over the city. The room was cozy and the terrace in front of it offered a nice view, which was perfect for a warm summer night. Very friendly staff and big parking lot outside. The breakfast was simple but still offered multiple things to choose from. Beautiful view from the restaurant terrace too. Definitely will visit again
My last night in Slovakia.
This pension is superb.
I had my last meal here too.
Everything is great.
It's a happy ending of my Slovakia trip.
At first I wanted to rate this guest-house lower, since on a first night I could hear neighboring room's residents talking until really late and I could hear breakfast preparations in the morning. Second night was better though.
So what I was pleasantly surprised is the kitchen, the meals are large and taste really good. Also the staff is very nice and attentive, even friendly.
Main attraction was the view. It was superb to sit down for a drink after hike and have a bear on the terrace, or have a filling breakfast looking at the scenery.
Prices are higher, but that applies for many places we visited in BS, which is just flabbergasting.

The bar #RUINbar offers a pleasant atmosphere with an excellent selection of wines and loose leaf teas. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the building and the city. The interior, which has been preserved in a way that respects its age while giving it new life, is truly remarkable. This place comes highly recommended for enjoying afternoon tea or savoring a glass of wine at dusk.
Very central, it is practically opposite the Plague Column, of which you can enjoy a splendid view from the tables at the entrance.
The restaurant is also very atmospheric and has a very particular and fascinating setting; it is absolutely pleasant to wander around the labyrinth of rooms and 'caves' right from the entrance.
Service a little lacking but overall sufficient, as is the attempt to speak English.
Maxi-screen and stage for music or sports evenings.
Prices absolutely within the norm.

The place is really authentic and pleasant. Big place, a lot of space clean, really chill atmosphere and i need to leave a warm review for the staff, the staff are really nice especially Nazar, such a great person, thank you Ruinbar ❤️❤️
What an absolutely beautiful and amazing place to sip Proseco. And Nazar is attentive and welcomed us with warmth and hospitality.
My husband and I decided to go to this bar based on a friend's recommendation. There was almost full and we had sits next to toilet. Then we asked waitress and she moved us. We ordered just wine and olives. My husband’s red wine had a disgusting flavor. It wasn’t fresh and new opened bottle. The waitress changed it (she was very attentive) but that glass was charged in price. Of course we didn’t pay that. Otherwise it’s a nice and cozy cafe with beautiful lighting
The spaghetti with mushrooms and black truffle was one of the best Italian dishes that I’ve had. The pasta was freshly made and the overall dish was amazing. The wait staff are very attentive and the drinks, salad were great. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Ruin Bar is the best place in Banská Štiavnica. It always has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, with live music and truly delicious food. I would especially like to highlight the waiters Nazar and Eliška, who welcomed us with a smile and were attentive and kind. The food was served very quickly, and special thanks to the chefs for the incredibly tasty Caesar salad!
The place is 5* in every respect. The cappuccino is delicious and creamy. The lemonades were one of the tastiest and tastiest drinks of our life. Our waitress was very kind, but she did not speak English. But we solved it! The place is fascinating, worth walking around and looking around. You have to see the bathroom too, it's worth it! It is a great place to relax and enjoy the place.
Don’t eat the Tapas! Really, don’t. We tried eight of the dishes. While we did not try the risotto and the spaghetti, you might have better luck with that. But for the Tapas, it was the cheapest ingredients and not well prepared. It’s really hard to save a dish when you don’t even invest in quality produce.

Pizza restaurant
Meštianska Pizza Svätá Barborka is a charming and inviting establishment with delicious pizza offerings at affordable prices. The restaurant boasts unique mining-themed décor, creating a pleasant atmosphere. While one server appeared inexperienced, the overall service was satisfactory. The pizza itself is exceptionally tasty, rivaling even those from renowned Italian establishments. Additionally, the prices are reasonable, and the beer selection is commendable.
Excellent place and very delicious pizza and everything. And also it was so comfortable at evening 9 pm everything was closed and we were hungry and it was still open 🙏💟 good prices and service
Tamuna K — Google review
Dirty tables, slow staff (The waitress took a lot of time to take orders and also chaos with it) but good food.
I was surprised that the pizza was tasty.
Take care of the garlic - they automatically add the garlic to the pizza.
The pizza I ordered cost about €11, but the quality was terrible. The dough didn’t even seem like proper pizza dough, and the ingredients were of disappointingly low quality for that price.
There are a few more things I’d like to mention:
We couldn’t pay by card.
The waitress looked bored and annoyed.
However, the area itself is very nice, and I enjoyed the interior with its “mining drift” theme.
Epic fail this place. The prices are the same as in Bratislava but the food and the service is not even remotely close. Pizza is watery and heavy. They don’t even bother serving real Kofola but choose a cheaper variant instead. Maybe to get even bigger margins on already overpriced rubbish food. We should have read the reviews before coming here for lunch. 10euros for a pizza is total rip off. They should visit any pizza place in a bigger town to see what you should charge 10euros for. On top of that they do not accept credit cards. No wonder this place is empty.
If you like ready-made frozen pizza, this place is for you. These are the most flattering words I could find to describe the food in this restaurant. The waiters gave an impression they would prefer not to be there and I definitely shared their sentiment, but as no other restaurant in the city centre could take a group of 18 this was the only option. As regards the atmosphere, the place definitely gave a breath of history, which was strenghtened by the fact that the they only accepted cash.
Pizza was good, nothing special, but a lot of kinds of it and a thin dough. Fast service, big portions even enough for two. Two disadvantages are that you can not pay with card (and they don't warn about that) and that there are absolutely no lights in the WC.
Very nice and original climate (e.g. benches cut from mine carts), but pizza is so-so. Beer is ok.
Fine cozy place with great tasting pizza and fair prices. Nice mining themed decorations. One of the server seemed a bit confused, I’d say he was new there.

Restaurant
Pivovar ERB is a charming eatery in a picturesque town. Before bidding farewell, one must indulge in their signature dish - the traditional duck leg served with potato pancakes and red cabbage. Another standout option is the squid sauce pasta, which boasts an appetizing mix of salmon pieces and peas. However, the Pork Rib fails to impress, with its overly dark appearance and lackluster taste. The ambiance is enjoyable, especially with the visible brewing equipment upon entering.
The whole dinner for me and my girlfriend costed 103€ thats including appetizers, main course 2 drinks and 2 digestives, their own brew beer is amazing, the food quality was amazing, the service was friendly and even while reserving our table and throughout the whole service we were served in English. They cleaned the table for us before sitting and paid attention when our candle burned out, as a fellow waiter i definitely rate the whole experience 10/10. I would even say its a must see place when visiting. Huge respect for the team of ERB! 👏

Fantastic place, great food, the beer brewed here is superb. I was particularly happy to have some dark beer! The terrace is a very nice place to be if the weather is nice. Very good value for money and special mention for the staff - the lady who had the patience to serve me and continue to smile - I appreciate very much!
Excellent experience at Pivovar ERB: the goulash was delicious with very tender meat, the steak tartare fresh and seasoned, and the onion rings were perfect and tasty, perfect for pairing with their craft beer. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was fast and very friendly. Highly recommended!
Pivovar ERB in Banská Štiavnica is a great place to enjoy traditional Slovak cuisine and craft beer. The pork tenderloin, goulash, and chocolate lava cake were all delicious, and the beer on offer was quite good. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive.
I would definitely recommend Pivovar ERB to anyone visiting Banská Štiavnica. It's a great place to experience the local food and culture.
Wasn’t crowded at lunchtime on Saturday, maybe because it’s not cheap 😀 but food was very good, and service efficient, we really enjoyed our meal. We especially recommend their special beer ice cream 😋
Very nice place, kind waitresses, spectacular and tasty food, good beer
I used to visit this restaurant regularly, but my last visit yesterday was a total disappointment. Prices have gone up, while the quality of the food has dropped significantly compared to three years ago.
Even the friendly waiter couldn’t make up for the poor quality of what’s being served at such a high price. My son even said his school canteen is better... and, I had to agree. The baked chicken with potato purée was something I could easily make better at home, and certainly not for €25.50 per person.
The chicken soup at €5.70 was no exception. Honestly, most people could cook a better one themselves.
Final verdict: If you don’t want to throw money out the window for food you could get in your company canteen for €6, skip the meals here. Just have a beer and say adios.
Overall a dissappointment, did not meet our expectations from the reviews/ratings.
Large selection of thought out dishes, finish and execution left a lot to be desired (potatoes weren’t properly done, bread was too plain and ordinary, pastry was brittle and “old”) all of the above would be less dissappointing if it were not for the fact that the waitress had made a very negative impression - body language whilst we were handling the bill. Would not visit again nor recommend. Overpriced and dissappointed.

T.G. I — Google review
Nice restaurant in the center of the town. They have really tasty pasta there, so if you want pasta, this is only place I recommend. Waitresses are kind and will satisfy your empty stomachs.
I didn t have such a bad food in a long time I ve ordered grilled chicken wings with salad this had nothing to do with grilling .... made plain on oil fried quickly salad was at least two days old nothing could save this including very unpleasent service, this is definetly place to avoid.
There were no soups available even thou menu had 3 of them. Staff is nice but what for if you won’t get what you came for.
Excellent food and service!!!
(Translated by Google) At the beginning of the year, I stopped by for the lunch menu. Premises clean. Nice service. The food was excellent. I ordered thick chicken broth and fried chicken nuggets with mashed potatoes and compote. The price of the lunch menu was €6. Satisfaction from my side.

Začiatkom roka som sa zastavila na obedové menu. Priestory čisté. Obsluha milá. Jedlo bolo výborné. Objednala som si hustý slepačí vývar a vyprážané kuracie nugetky so zemiakovou kašou a kompótom. Cena obedového menu bolo 6,- €. Z mojej strany spokojnosť.
(Translated by Google) 22.8.25 The food was okay, we liked it. The beer we ordered with the meal spoiled our taste. The beer smelled and the taste was not good either. We only tasted the beer, we immediately complained and returned it. We did not even get an apology from the waiter about being charged, let alone...

22.8,25 Jedlo bolo v poriadku to nám chutilo. Chuť nám pokazilo pivo ktoré sme si k jedlu objednali. Pivo smrdelo a aj chuť nebola dobrá. Pivo sme len ochutnali hneď sme ho reklamovali a vrátili. Od obsluhy sme nedostali ani len ospravedlnenie o tom , že nám bolo naúčtovane ani nehovorím...
(Translated by Google) High level service. Delicious food.
