GeoV Says: Poprad is probably best known for access to the Tatra Mountains but, just ouside the centre and now incorporated into the municipality, is Spišská Sobota, a small village (and conservation area). Burghers' houses surround an attractive square and the place has a charming...
deeper_blue Says: A walk down the pedestrian street in winter is a great experience. There are numerous stores and restaurants all blanketed in snow and teeming with christmas trees.

yumyum Says: This war memorial is located in a small park just off Hviezdbalvova street opposite Hotel Gerlach. It is dedicated to the Red Army that liberated the people of Poprad on 17th June 1945 from the faschists.
Restaurant Zvonnica: Great Tatran Food for small money!
Zajac-i-Komar Says: Great restaurant, which is located near the main square of Poprad and right behind the church with the bell-tower.The food is very tasty and not expensive. Last year (June 2008) we had two soups (one bean and garlic with toasts) + two times "bryndzove haloushki" (type of...
yumyum Says: This restaurant has a local country style interior and even features a fountain. They have a menu in other language but you have to ask for it. I don't remember what my dish was called and when it was served I wasn't too impressed with the runny sauce trying to escape the...
yumyum Says: The old center of Poprad is a very pleasant place for a stroll after sunset. I suggest that you eat in a restaurant there, take some picture before and later in the dark.
letenky Says: The best Transportation to Poprad is by airplane or Train. Ussully you can use Transportation by plat from bratislava to poprad or Prague to Poprad or London to Poprad.
deeper_blue Says: You can catch a bus through the Tatras to Zakopane on the Polish side. It's a really bumpy road however and no seatbelts so be careful. Fare = 18zl
deeper_blue Says: The journey from Zilina is very picturesque through mountain scenery and unspoilt terrain.
yumyum Says: Going to the mountains you have the option to take a bus instead of the Tatra train. Coming back one day to Tatranska Lomnica we used the faster bus instead of the train. Part of the way the bus just run down a straight road which was quite a spectacle when sitting in the...
yumyum Says: We didn´t find out until later that Poprad has an airport. We flew via Prague with CSA. For that reason we flew into Kosice and took the train to Poprad.
Prior Department store: Hand-painted crockery
carolynllew Says: This shop sells everything at very reasonable prices. About four levels of clothes, gifts, etc and a cafe and delicatessen (easy to choose when on display) The staff were helpful and efficient.Supermarket top level. I bought a Slovakian hand painted jug and plate. I would...
yumyum Says: When we were there at the end of May Poprad just had a visit from a wandering circus. During the day they had the camels outside which was very popular with the locals.
yumyum Says: This happened just outside our hotel. Everything was flooded but in the hotel itself there was still water from the tap. So watch were you step and mind passing cars.
RandomDreamer Says: Not so much a danger as an annoyance.Poprad seems to have more than it's fare share of Romanys... and whilst I don't want to go into the wider politics involving romanys, they can spot a tourist a mile off in Poprad!I caught one guy's eye and he ran from a fair distance and...
coceng Says: I can also mention Tatras Mountains.If you are in Lake Morskie Oko, you are already in the High Tatras !Do spend a few hours here. Beautiful sceneries, trees, forests. Floras & faunas. Just don't get lost. Make sure you take the correct routes.
coceng Says: If you have the time while in Poprad, please take a day to enter Poland, it's only about 1 hour by car or bus. One place that one should go is Moskie Oko or Lake Moskie in the Tatras Mountain Range in south of Poland. We have to walk, or rather hike (but for disabled people,...
deeper_blue Says: Poprad is the ski gateway to the Slovak Tatras. There are many resorts nearby for example Stary Smokovec with good transport links.
yumyum Says: We didn´t manage to visit the tourist office but it is located on Namestie sv. Egidia 15. We picked up a free map which pointed out a few places of interest in the hotel. The map is terribly basic though, so you may want to print out one from the internet beforehand like I...
