Spisska Sobota Old Town

Reviewed By Christine G - Southampton, United Kingdom

Lovely place to wander around and take photos. The information centre in the middle of the town square provides lots of information about the history of the old buildings. There are plaques giving further details on individual buildings and the church and bell tower are well worth visiting too. There is a little land train that runs regularly from the square into Poprad central that is fun to ride too.

Slovak Paradise National Park

Reviewed By Fcelka4444 - Poprad, Slovakia

It is just paradice as it is in it's name. Beautifull nature, I recommend to start early in the morning, around 7:00, to enjoy the nature without many people. I am returning there for 15 years, and it is definitelly worth it :).

A beautiful church set in the heart of Poprad, it shows the marks of an amazing history and was a delight to be married in (a childhood fantasy of my wife), and the amazing people of this beautiful city made this English man feel at home.

Gli edifici dedicati agli archivi sono due, entrambi interessanti.. questo è ancora più partciolare per il colore che attira certamente l'attenzione.

La torre si trova nella piazza accanto alla chiesa, molto bella da vedere anche se si confonde un pò con la struttura accanto. E' una delle attarzioni di questo quartiere storico.

Tatra Gallery

Reviewed By yale999 - Bratislava, Slovakia

If you stay in Tatras and you want to spend a day with other activities than hiking, or if the weather is not favorable to go to the Mountains, Poprad, the main city under the hills is a good choice - it is easily accessible by Tatra electric railway and apart from visiting main square and shopping area at namestie sv. Egidia, Aqua Park or medieval urban reserve at Spisska Sobota, you can also go to Tatra Gallery, located in the very interesting building of former steam power station, just across from the Poprad railway station. Tatra Gallery features a permanent exhibition of art by prominent Slovak artists (including renowned artists like Albin Brunovsky, Ludovit Fulla and other), mainly those tied with eastern Slovakia and Tatra region and varying thematic Exhibitions, often focused on modern art. The gallery also has a small branch in Stary Smokovec - Villa Flora, where Exhibitions focus mainly on paintings and photography of Tatra Mountains.

Marian Column

Reviewed By Mitch_sky - Bologna, Italy

La colonna si vede arrivando in piazza peerchè si trova proprio sul lato esterno della chiesa, lungo la strada. Forse perchè presente in tutte le città, perde un pò di attrattiva ma vale comunque per quello che rappresenta.

Old Renaissance house - 19

Reviewed By Mitch_sky - Bologna, Italy

Passeggiando ci ha attirato soprattutto un particolare sul tetto, una piccola finestra, molto curiosa e particolare. La casa nel complesso è simile ad altre che, anche se di origine rinascimentale, hanno avuto diverse variazioni nel tempo.
