If you find yourself with a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 25 miles, take a look at Banska Bystrica. This lively place boasts a world of things to see and do. Golf and Country Club Hron, Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower alone justify the drive. Situated 30 miles away, Zvolen is another popular option. If you swing by, make sure you check out Ludovita Stura Park, Vigsassky Zamok and Borova Hora Arboretum.
