With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Banska Stiavnica, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Trinity Square, Slovak Mining Museum - Jozef Kollar Gallery and Church of Ascenssion of the Virgin. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Trencin, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Trencin Castle. (But we’re also big fans of Roman Inscription and Town Gate Tower.)
