With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Martin, 25 miles away, has to offer. Martina Benka Museum, Martin Skanzen and Museum of the Slovak Village alone make the drive out worthwhile. Banska Bystrica is another great option. It’s 30 miles away and offers tons of fascinating things to do. Golf and Country Club Hron, Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower are only the start.
