Peppered with a mixture of fortresses and castles, gothic churches and 15th century town squares, evidence of Slovakia's vibrant history is prominent.

With nine national parks and acres of untouched countryside as well as several castles, spas and picturesque lakes, Slovakia has a lot to offer as a tourist destination and is starting to experience growing popularity.

Nestled in the very centre of Europe the republic is bordered by Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary and as such links the prosperous western countries with the new emerging markets and manufacturing wealth of Eastern Europe. Further, Slovakia has more natural beauty than most of the markets which provide direct competition and as advertising budgets become more generous; travel and tourism figures are increasing. The availability of cheap flights to and from Western European cities such as London, Paris, Berlin and Dublin mean tourism is expected to rise 3.8% in 2007 and 5.3% per annum, between 2008 and 2017. It is also expected that Bratislava will establish itself as a popular weekend getaway in the near future.
For those who prefer skiing or mountain walking to over-crowded beaches or concreted resorts, Slovakia is the ideal place for a second home.
