5.0 Hrad Gymes (10 reviews)
- Interesting And Well Preserved Castle Ruins
Spent 2-3 hours Castles

The walk up to the castle ruins is great, through a field initially and then through some beautiful woods. When you arrive at the castle ruins you can't fail to be impressed, there is still a very substantial part of the original structure preserved. It must have been an immense castle when it was built. There are great views of the surrounding landscape from the castle ruins. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit. See more..
5.0 Topolcianky Bison Park (8 reviews)
- Get there at opening time to see the bison being fed
Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

This conservation park is home to more than 20 European bison which, once nearly extinct, have subsequently been successfully reintroduced in to the wild thanks to the efforts of its keepers. It officially opens at 9am. Arrive and there is not much to suggest what lies inside. As with many attractions in Slovakia you have a bit of a hike to the actual bison park from the free carpark outside. But try to arrive for 9am as this is when the bison are fed. This is quite a sight - and you can climb up to a wooden parapet to get an overview or simply watch through the fence. There are over 20 bison here - adults and calves and some of the older males may indulge in a bit of mutual butting as they jostle for the best position at the troughs. There's a small entry fee (1 euro) at the small cafe/ticket office next to the enclosure. There's also a pleasant walk through the woods around the enclosure which has panels telling you in English and Slovak about the bison and other native flora and fauna. It was highly unexpected and well worth a visit. See more..

4.5 Cathedral of St. Emeran (32 reviews)
- Multi-coloured Fantasy
Historic Sites • Churches & Cathedrals

When you climb the steps to the Castle, you realise that there is a church up there too. Only that it's actually a Cathedral. There are steps up to the entrance and medieval statues of saints and bishops guide your way. I have to be honest and say that I've never seen a Cathedral like that. The interior is UNIQUE. The colours and design features must be in a very local style but it took my breathe away. We were lucky when we were there because there were two opera singers and an organists practising for an upcoming cultural event and in that particular setting it was just magical. See more..

4.5 Tekovske Museum (11 reviews)
- ruins of Castle
Speciality Museums

The remains of the castle are part of the Tekov Museum in Levice. The castle served military purposes, mainly to fight the Turks. Eventually this function was canceled and the castle ruined, the remains are on the photo. It is interesting for me that it was also supposed to serve as a defense against the Czech king Premysl Otakar II. See more..

4.0 Synagoga (35 reviews)
- "Yet another impressive memorial to a lost community..."
Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings

Strolling back from the Nitra Castle, we fortuitously discovered this beautiful structure when 'Pri synagoge' street signpost caught our eye. As it was locked, we were unable to gain entry, but were touched by the simple, Moorish lines of the generously proportioned building. While no longer an active place of worship - since the resident Jews met the same fate as most of the communities in Czechia during the Nazi occupation - it was appropriated by the city fathers, sympathetically restored and today serves both as a museum memorializing the lost community, as well as a public concert venue. There is also a memorial in the rear of the synagogue commemorating the city's Jewish victims of the Holocaust. See more..
