Very well put together museum on 3 floors with lots to see for adults and kids, from cave exploration to cultures and wildlife and more, in an interesting converted building. Nice also to walk round the old town centre.

The only LOVE BANK in the world is a unique place where people from around the world store their symbolic keepsakes of love, friendship or another special moment of happiness. LOVE BANK - is inspired by the true love story between Marína and Sládkovič - is created from the verses of the World's longest love poem - consists of 100 000 Security Boxes You can find the only LOVE BANK in the world in the basement of the house that is a part of 500-year-old gold mine. It is the house where Marína Pischlová lived for the most of her life. This house is a building of national and cultural significance as well as being part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Looking at the house from the outside I wasn't really impressed by the whole project and the idea. But after seeing all attractions, the interior of the house and the love bank I was really surprised how beautifully it all has been put together. From the whole reconstruction of the house to the presentation of the love story it all made very nice and interesting experience. You will not find anything similar anywhere in Slovakia. I have also seen the famous house of Romeo and Juliette in Verona or the love museums in South Korea and I must say that the experience there was really poor. This one actually made a point and especially it was based on the true story. I was actually quite impressed how well it was all done. You can feel the inspiration from other exhibitions like Harry Potter studios or the book and mirror installation in Bratislava, but it doesn't matter at all, because after all you'll be glad that you paid the money for something unique and exceptional.

If I had to describe a fairytale castle, I would describe this one!! Its light pink sandstone towers and crenellated turrets make this romantic castle the most visited, and one of the greatest tourist attractions in Slovakia. Rising above the town, and steps away from the hotel in which our tour group stayed, it was originally built in the 12th century. In the 13th century, it passed into the hands of the most powerful Hungarian warlord of the time. In 1527, the Thurzo family converted the castle into a comfortable Renaissance residence. It's last owner, Count Paiffy, remodeled it into a stately edifice resembling the castles in France's Loire valley. There are many stairs to climb, in order to reach all the floors and levels, but it is worth it. Just take your time. Each level is just as amazing as the last. The Golden Hall features a magnificent, intricate ceiling made of pine and covered with gold leaf. It was modeled on the interior of the Venetian academy of Arts. Many of the walls feature some of the most intricately carved wooden paneling I have ever seen. All the many levels feature gorgeous furniture and valuable paintings. And look down at some remarkable flooring beneath your feet! The top floor features the Knight's Hall. The castle sits in a large park with many rare species of trees, including what is claimed to be the oldest lime tree (600 years old) in Slovakia. A tour of a cave recently discovered is included in the tour. Skip that part. It is dark and dumb! The cave aside, this is the most romantic and beautiful castle that my spouse and I have ever visited! DO NOT MISS VISITING !!

Visiting these caves was an amazing experience. Even though I don't speak Slovak, I downloaded English info online to read during the tour which was helpful but most of the time, I spent gazing around the magnificent cave system in awe of its beauty!
