Slovakia’s tourism industry has grown remarkably
since independence. By the late 1990s the country was receiving
more than 500,000 visitors each year. Slovakia’s historic
towns and numerous mountain ski resorts are the more popular
tourist destinations. There's a refreshing absence of McDonald's-style
commercialism that is rampant across Western Europe. Quaint and
jovial with a surprisingly rich cultural life, Bratislava is
a capital city without the usual congestion.
The High Tatras are a magnificent range of mountains
dotted with villages with deep peasant traditions. You'll find
Slovaks to be an extremely helpful, pleasant people prepared
to go out of their way to welcome you.
