With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Nitra, 40 miles away, has to offer. Nitra Castle, Slovak Agricultural Open-Air Museum and Pribinovo Namestie alone make the drive out worth it. Situated 45 miles away, Banska Stiavnica is another popular choice. If you swing by, make sure you check out Trinity Square, Slovak Mining Museum - Jozef Kollar Gallery and Church of Ascenssion of the Virgin.
