If you are calling within Slovakia, there is needed to dial zero, but if you are calling from abroad you don't dial it
At that site you also should find necessary phone numbers such as taxis, museums etc.
You should buy telephone cards in magazine shops or in the post offices. Leave a Comment

 the flag by Skipka
The national flag of the Slovak Republic is composed of three horizontal stripes - white, blue and red (with white at the top, followed by blue and red). In the front section of the national flag is the national emblem of the Slovak Republic. Three colors symbolize innocence, hope and heart. The emblem itself represents the byzantinian cruise of Konstantin and Methodius and three hills represents mountains Tatra, Matra and Fatra. Leave a Comment

 moric benovsky by Skipka
Count Moric Benovsky (20.9.1746 Vrbove - 23.5.1786, Madagascar), a typical representative of the period of the Enlightenment, the development of transport and trade, exploration of unknown regions, French colonel, Ruler of Madagascar, and the first Slovak author of a best-seller, was involved in the history of various countries. After being captured while fighting for the independence of Poland, he was deported to Kamchatka, where he organized his escape. His voyage to Macao was the first known voyage from the north-east to the south-east shores of Asia. The King of France entrusted him with an expedition to Madagascar, where he unified part of the island, and the local tribes granted him the title of "King of Kings". Upon his return, he attempted to build a fleet of ships for overseas trade. After this failed, he became a general in the American army, and organized another expedition to Madagascar, where he fell in battle with the French in 1786. His travel memoirs were published in London in 1790, and have so far appeared in at least 20 editions in more than ten languages.
