We visited Kremnica two weeks ago. It's a nice historic town for us, Hungarians, we have a common history. It was very rich and famous town for its gold mines. In the centre you can find the well kept Main square with nice old buildings, museums, restaurants etc. In the middle of the park there is a plague memorial: the Holy Trinity Column from 1777 and an old stone fountain. On the north-west side you can find the famous "Mincovna" , Mint, where golden coins and medals were made. You can walk around it and go to the Castle and St Catherine Church. It's a must-see attraction.
6. Old Castle Banska Stiavnica
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 159 reviews
The Old Castle - whose origins reach back to the early 13th century - is a review of all existing architectural styles by itself . Originally an Romanesque Chapel of St. Michal built by the community of miners was in the period of Turkish invasion in the 16th century fortified with walls, bastions and towers – and from that time it was used for military purposes. In modern times Old castle was used as a police station, an ice – stock, a town’s archive and library even as a gym! A museum since 1900 offers archaeological exhibition, exhibitions of tobacco pipes manufacture (a famous craft of Banska Stiavnica), blacksmithing, Baroque sculptures, old interior watches, torture devices, gun dartboards, exhibitions “The miners are coming”, “Calvary in exile” and more. The baroques tower offers magnificent view of the city.

This town has a beautiful centre with old buildings and a nice park. Nearby there's the castle. You must buy tickets for 3 EUR but it's worths. We climbed to the tower (227 steps) and the view was fantastic. We took lots of pictures (you mustn't take pictures inside). This place has a special atmosphere, we went back in the past.
