Don't miss a unique experience on your trip to Slovakia.
The city of Kosice is one of the most beautiful in Slovakia. Although it is not as big as Bratislava, it has a lot to discover. If you wish a cultural and enriching experience, a free walking tour around Kosice in English is the best option. Otherwise, you will probably miss a lot of things and leave the town without fully understanding the history of the city.
Many people think that being such a small city, you can see Kosice in a few hours. But there are quite a few interesting places and if you want to get to know it a little more in depth, a day would be ideal. However, if you don't have enough time, the guided journey is key so you don't miss anything important.
Then you can ask the tour guide how to optimize your time to the maximum and what things are really worth it. In addition, he will probably suggest good and cheap places for you to eat. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask him, he will be happy to help you.
In this small town you can find hidden gems that will surprise you such as the cathedral of Saint Isabel, the largest in Slovakia. By the way, it's free. And it has nothing to envy to other Gothic cathedrals in larger cities with more important archbishoprics.
The Kosice theater is another building that is worth visiting. It is the national theater of Slovakia and it is very beautiful. I have not had the opportunity to see a play, but I have been told that they are very good. If you have time, do not hesitate to ask the guide of the walking tour if there is any play that is worth seeing.
The Jakab palace is a Gothic building that also catches the eye, and is a few meters from the Cathedral of Saint Isabel.
In summer, getting to know Kosice is usually wonderful, because there are many green spaces and the weather is usually very good. In addition, it is not a city too crowded. The problem comes in winter. Snowfalls often occur and the city turns completely white. This is not an impediment to get to know the town, but it is good that are aware of that in advance if you are going to visit it in winter. Especially if you are not used to the snow, and the cold. It is always a good idea to prepare in advance for that weather, because it is more likely that you fall ill if you are not used to it. And that is not the idea of a trip, right? So, be prepared for inclemencies and enjoy the city to the fullest.
