Slovakia biggest minority group is the Roma people and the largest numbers of Roma we saw were in Eastern Slovakia, especially around Levoca and Spisska Podhradie. I've read that there are occasional problems between the Roma and Slovaks, but none of this was apparent to us. The Roma way of life is similar to that of the Travelling Community in Ireland but I think the Roma are more prominent to visitors in Slovakia than the travelling community are in Ireland.
