Kosice  Historical Centre

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.
