With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Bojnice, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Bojnice Castle, ZOO Bojnice and Museum of Prehistoric Slovakia. The locals will also probably point you toward Banska Bystrica, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Golf and Country Club Hron. (But we’d also recommend Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower.)
