Description: Slovakia is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. It was formerly part of Czechoslovakia, before splitting from the Czech Republic (now known as Czechia) in 1993. It's not the best-known tourist destination in Europe, but there are plenty of reasons to visit...
Why You Should Visit: The main reasons people visit Slovakia are its mountains, which are great for hiking and skiing, and its castles, which can be found all over the country. Personally, I've only been to Bratislava so far, but I really enjoyed my day exploring the city, and especially loved the castle, which looks straight out of a fairytale.
Fun Fact: Slovakia holds the title of the country with the highest number of castles per capita!
