Though Slovakia has emerged from its communist era chrysalis, a Stalinist overtone is what you still get to feel when you first reach Slovakia.
But a near perfect harmony between the high end chic life which has been a byproduct of Slovakia's entry into the world economy and its laid back rural idyllic setting is precisely what attracts tourists in millions to Slovakia. If you are sporty and love to hike, bike and ski then be sure to plan your Christmas Vacations in Slovakia, because you won't find a better place to be in.
- Hike and Ski to your heart's content in the Vysoke Tatry adorned with Waterfalls, mountain lakes and snowfields, but you would probably be not allowed to scale great heights during the winter months to ensure safety and preservation of the landscape.
- Tons of Castles lie scattered over the landscape. If you have a historical bent of mind you would love to tour them. Bratislava Castle located on a hill overlooking the old town, Devin Castle (9 km west of Bratislava), Reduta Palace (now been turned into the Bratislava concert hall), Slovak National Gallery which houses a typical 18th century Stalinist palace Primate's Palace,Michael's Tower, Mirbach Palace, Trencin Castle in West Slovakia, Budatin Castle in Central Slovakia are few of the most popular sites.
- Grand religious frescos and stone artifacts adorn the St James Church in Levoca and Cathedral of St Elizabeth in Kosice.
- Slovak National Museum, Museum of Folk Music and Spis Museum are the most sought after hot spots.
- Churches include Franciscan church in Bratislava, Cathedral of St Elizabeth and St Michael's chapel in East Slovakia
If this sounds interesting to you, don't waste any more of your precious time. Your Christmas Vacation in Slovakia is bound to be rewarding.
