Welcome to Poprad
We used Poprad as a base to the explore the High Tatry mountains which turned out an excellent option.
Poprad has a recently renovated old town square. Otherwise it´s a socialist style town without too much appeal.

Apart from the bus and train station there's not too much for the traveller in Poprad. I know this may be a bit narrow minded of me but I was trusting the Lonely Planet guide on this and I didn't fancy venturing too far as my "Blatant traveller with backpack" persona had already attracted the attention of one very over eager beggar.
It's a great transport hub with buses and trains to anywhere in Slovakia (it is on the Bratislava - Zilina - Kosice express train route) and with the mountain railway upto the ski resorts in the High Tatras. Otherwise, it seems a large and industrial city that doesn't get the maintainance or investment of Bratislava.
English is hardly spoken here so you may need to blag a little to get food and rail tickets. For food, there is a big supermarket near the station (you'll fail to be fed in the cafe in the bus station). A little spoken German will go a long way.
A RE-THINK... okay. A lot of people have told me this is a quite nice place. I suppose just not round the bus station. I'm just Mr Judgemental sometimes so pls ignore my snide snipes at Poprad :-)
