If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 17 miles, take a look at Banska Stiavnica. This popular place has plenty of things to keep you busy. Trinity Square, Slovak Mining Museum - Jozef Kollar Gallery and Church of Ascenssion of the Virgin alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Demanovska Dolina, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Jasna Nizke Tatry. (But we’re also huge fans of Chopok and Demänovská Cave of Liberty.)
