In a nutshell
This is the begining of an international ski resort (a good one)
bollyandy Says: Besenova is another thermal spa, there are fewer pools or slides than at Tatralandia and may appeal to the older visitor as it is a bit quieter and has more of the hot pools aimed to soothe weary limbs.We particularly liked our visit to Besenova in the snow - my skiing...
bollyandy Says: Tatralandia is the largest water park in Central Europe - (9?) pools - approx half of which are open all year round. It has lots of food stalls, endless slides, both enclosed tubes and open ones. The pools are heated from the hot thermal springs and two of the pools are very...
swetluska Says: Just about 2 kms from Liptovsky Mikulas there is great aquapark called Tatralandia. You will find there pools with thermal water (opened whole year), many water roller coasters and other attractions. Inside there is also so called vita-term, where are various saunas,...

Slovensko Restaurantica: Not for the veggies
bollyandy Says: Lots of stuffed animals decorate the walls and staff are in traditional attire. Very friendly and a bit kitsch but if you are a veggie those beady eyes staring at you might put you off your dinner. The food is traditional Slovak - good but a bit heavier than some - lots of...
bollyandy Says: Why bizarre - well when we went to Slovakia for the first time the last place we imagined we would visit was an 'American themed bar'. Having visited the States quite a few times I can honestly say that the food at Route 66 is infinitely better ! In other words it is Slovak...
Taxi drivers at the train station
nic0kr Says: Cheating non-Slovak speakers/nationals seems to be normal for some taxi drivers at the train/bus station: I have paid 250 SKK for a 5KM trip while the normal road is much shorter. When later I have realized that and went with a friend speaking Slovak to complain (with the...

Peace and quiet is one thing ....
bollyandy Says: Jasna is known as the key Slovak ski resort and given the size of the hotel we were staying in and the large hotel at the bottom of the road we felt that in the summer it would be a nice but not too noisy place to stay. It was - until 8pm at night when it got spooky. How do...
Be prepared ! Weather varies on a daily basis
bollyandy Says: It is possible to buy virtually anything you need in LM - particularly outdoor gear. Provided that you avoid overprized western brands you can kit yourself out very reasonably. If you like shoes try the Gabor factory shop (near Route 66) in the shopping plaza - very good...
