Lucky for us it was a clear blue sky which allowed us see the castle in all its glory. Approaching the castle up the steep path from the car park allows you to appreciate its size and history. We spent a couple of hours wandering around taking in what can only be described as a wonderful piece of Slovakian history. From the museum exhibits to climbing up the narrow staircase to the top of the tower, wandering around the lower castle grounds you can’t help but be in awe of this castle. We loved it...????

I think it is a must when you visit Kosice to go to some play in theater, opera, balet or drama, it is really great experience, nice and historic interior - really great to spent a night and go to Slavia Café after that wheelchair - they have a ramp, but somebody needs to ask them to open the side door good seats are quickly sold out, but less good are usually available also before the start of the play

9. Kosice Historical Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
The historical centre of Košice, whose medieval city walls were removed in the 18th century, is today formed by a nearly one kilometer long promenade lined with exquisite historical buildings, once inhabited by medieval kings and nobility. Together with craftsmen's houses, churches, squares and narrow streets, they create an atmosphere full of legends and stories. You can uncover these and more!

After visiting beautiful Budapest, Pecs and Eger in Hungary, our expectations for Kosice centre were not high but what a great surprise. The centre of the old town is pedestrianised which makes walking around a delight. There are some lovely buildings, beautiful fountains especially near the Cathedral and in the city park, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to pass the time. We found very few guide books covering this area in any detail but we recommend you visit the excellent tourist information centre on arrival, they have a free guide which provides a good explanation of all the main attractions, the staff are very friendly and English speaking. The train station is an easy 10/15 minute walk though the park and along a pedestrianised road to the centre. A full day will allow enough time to see all the major sights but this is a very worthwhile stopover on route to other destinations in Hungary and Slovakia.
