With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Zvolen, 18 miles away, has to offer. Ludovita Stura Park, Vigsassky Zamok and Borova Hora Arboretum alone make the drive out worth it. Located 20 miles away, Bojnice is another popular option. If you drop by, be sure to check out Bojnice Castle, ZOO Bojnice and Museum of Prehistoric Slovakia.
