Castles and Manors
3 – 6 days
Slovakia has more castles per square kilometre than almost anywhere in Europe — visit five of the best in a single road tour, including UNESCO-listed Spiš Castle.
Tour overview
A self-paced or escorted driving tour through Slovakia’s castle country, from the Renaissance manor at Bytča in the west to the ruins of Spiš Castle in the east. Designed for travellers who want history without packed coaches.
Highlights
- Bratislava Castle — the four-towered fortress overlooking the Danube and three borders
- Bojnice Castle — the romantic neo-Gothic “fairy-tale castle” rebuilt in the 1880s, set above a botanical park
- Orava Castle — a dramatic clifftop fortress overlooking the Orava river (where Murnau filmed Nosferatu in 1922)
- Spiš Castle — one of the largest castle ruins in central Europe, UNESCO-listed
