If you have a spare day or two and you don’t mind traveling 25 miles, take a look at Martin. This popular place has plenty of things to see and do. Martina Benka Museum, Martin Skanzen and Museum of the Slovak Village alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also probably point you toward Trencin, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Trencin Castle. (But we’d also recommend Roman Inscription and Town Gate Tower.)
