With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Martin, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Martina Benka Museum, Martin Skanzen and Museum of the Slovak Village. Banska Bystrica is another terrific option. It’s 25 miles away and offers an array of fascinating things to see and do. Golf and Country Club Hron, Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower are only the start.
