If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 17 miles away, Zvolen is worth the drive. Ludovita Stura Park, Vigsassky Zamok and Borova Hora Arboretum alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also probably point you toward Banska Bystrica, 20 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Golf and Country Club Hron. (But we’re also big fans of Museum of the Slovak National Uprising and The Clock Tower.)
