Well preserved city centre with many historic sights.

Extremely few and pretty expensive accomodations
In a nutshell
A gem not often visited due to its distance from Bratislava.
coceng Says: Took another photo. Loved the view so much I had to make sure that I took it correctly. Although this photo & the one above looks the same, almost.This Cathedral is in Hlavná ulica.In fact, you wouldn't miss it once you are in the Old Town of Kosice.It's a commanding sight...
The Cathedral of St. Elizabeth
coceng Says: ...dom sv Alzbety. This is a magnificent, late-Gothic style Cathedral. It is the biggest and most important gothic monuments ever built in Slovakia and the only one of this kind in Eastern Europe. The construction of the present cathedral was started by the end of the 14th...
coceng Says: In a crypt on the left side of the nave is the tomb of Ferenc Rakoczi, an early 18th century rebel leader.On the cathedral's south side is the 14th century Chapel of St. Michael.Wander around this church for 15 minutes or so & see the designs adorning the church.

HORSCHECK Says: On our first afternoon in Kosice we were starving and wanted a little lunch snack.We decided to check out one of the many nice restaurants and cafes at Kosice's Central Square (Hlavne Namestie) as all of them had nice outdoor terraces which face the main sights.We chose the...

Med Malina: Great food and great service
joannemaz Says: As a resident of Kosice, I've eaten in a lot of local restaurants. I found Med Malina to have great service, a great atmosphere, great value for money and great food. The daily menu (Monday to Friday) has a choice of two soups and a main course for around €3.65. My husband...
Pension Slovakia: A very nice place
mingul Says: Pension Slovakia is probably one of the best bets in Kosice. Unfortunately we did not find rooms for accomodation but we went there to have lunch and everything that we ordered was very tasty. Wireless Internet is available for free in this location and it works very...
sunlancer Says: This place has a hideous interior decor like some color-blind gay duck was responsible for the eclectic midge-modge where Retro means making the place look like the innards of some 1990s laptop. The place assaults the eyes so badly because, usually, there's no one in the bar...
The Beer House: Your best bet on a regular night
mingul Says: The only place we found open on a Tuesday night was called Beer House. For a long time now we will be very grateful to the bartenders as they allowed us to drink for one hour after the closing time and for being the only Slovaks that actually made us feel welcome in their...
From the airport to the city centre by taxi
HORSCHECK Says: Unfortunately public transportation from the airport to the city centre is limited to local bus #23 which serves the route less than once per hour. So you are more or less forced to take a taxi. The company VIP Taxi is the contracted partner of the airport and you find their...
HORSCHECK Says: I must admit that I didn't use public transportation in Kosice. Nevertheless, the tram lines seem to be especially useful to get from the train station to the city centre as they stop directly in front of the station.Kosice has about 16 tram lines which together with buses...
HORSCHECK Says: Slovakia joined the European Union (EU) on the 1st of May 2004 and on the 1st of January 2009 Slovakia even became a member of the Eurozone. This means that nowadays the Euro is the official currency in the country.When I was in Kosice, Slovakia still had the Slovak Crown...
Twin city: Wuppertal in Germany
HORSCHECK Says: When wandering around Kosice I came along a street sign stating "Wuppertal 1490 km".Wuppertal is located in Germany and only about 60 km from my hometown. Wuppertal and Kosice are twinned since 1980 and it was one of the first partnerships between a big German town and a...
HORSCHECK Says: During our time in Kosice I used a free city map of the Tourist Information Centre. The map also included some basic information about Kosice and the sights.The Tourist Information Centre also provides several other brochures both about Kosice and about other regions in...
HORSCHECK Says: Kosice's Orthodox synagogue (Ortodoxna synagoga) was constructed between 1926 and 1927 after designs of the Christian architect Ludovit Oelschlager. It has a capacity of 800 seats and is also home to a school.At the front of the synagogue a Holocaust memorial plate can be...
HORSCHECK Says: When wandering around Kosice I found by chance a Soviet War Memorial, which pays tribute to the fallen Soviet soldiers during WWII. Although Slovakia hasn't belonged to the East-bloc countries since the early 1990's when it was part of Czechoslovakia, you can still find...
HORSCHECK Says: The oldest Marathon in Europe and the second oldest in the world takes place in Kosice on every first Sunday in October. The history of the so called "Peace Marathon" dates back to 1924.A statue of a marathon runner which lists all winners can be found at the Square of the...
HORSCHECK Says: I must admit that I am not too much of a museum goer.Especially when the weather is lovely I prefer to walk outside than to go to a museum. Nevertheless, Kosice seems to have some interesting museums which might keep you happy on a rainy day.The East Slovak Museum presents...
HORSCHECK Says: Kosice has a very special and unique attraction at night. It is the singing fountain which simultaneously reacts to music as well as being illuminated by dynamic light scenes to the sounds. The fountain is located in the little park in between the State Theatre and the St....
