Taking the Tourists to Trnava

Posted by Amanda Kendle Oct 26, 2006

I've lost count of how many times I've visited Trnava. When I lived in Bratislava, plenty of friends from around the world came to stay - they all had a fascination with Slovakia, figuring it was the kind of country they might not visit unless they knew someone there. After showing all my favorite sights in Bratislava, a day or an afternoon trip somewhere out of the city was usually in order. Trnava is a good distance from the Slovak capital, it has enough to see to keep visitors happy, and plenty of places to eat good food.

But one friend almost never forgave me: it was one of the coldest days of her life. But Trnava was especially beautiful when snow-covered so she's still talking to me, just. Last summer I stopped by again, and the effect in sunshine is quite different, but equally impressive.

This week I talked to a local Trnavan and got the insider tips on what to visit there - check it in the article Day Trip To Trnava. Finding out what the locals think is a great way to travel - if you're a local from a place you love in Eastern Europe and Russia, email us to give us your tips, too.
