Slovakia: Slovakia (Slovak Republic) is a country located in Central Europe, surrounded by the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria. Magnificient mountains, plains and rivers, historical towns and remarkable cultural events make Slovakia a country worth the visit. This is a land of real spirit, where folk traditions have survived the domination of foreign rulers and a plethora of castles and chateaux pay testament to untold wars and civil conflicts. And the people have come through it all with their welcoming spirit intact.
