If you have a bit of extra time and you don’t mind traveling 19 miles, check out Martin. This lively place offers up a world of things to keep you busy. See the sights starting with Martina Benka Museum, Martin Skanzen and Museum of the Slovak Village. Locals will also likely point you toward Banska Bystrica, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Golf and Country Club Hron. (But we’d also highly recommend Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower.)
