About Košice for Solo Travelers
Slovakia's second city and Eastern Slovakia's cultural capital — a beautifully preserved medieval main street (arguably the finest in Central Europe), a Gothic cathedral, and a thriving arts scene in a city almost entirely free of tourists. Košice is the Slovakia that travelers never see, and all the better for it.
