3. Šikľavá skala
One of the biggest winter attractions in Slovakia. In winter the waterfall freezes and creates ice walls, columns, chandeliers... pretty much it's a little ice palace :) Fans of The Frozen should see it :D While visiting this place you have to be careful not to slip and fall, but the magical views are totally worth it.

4. Bryndzové Halušky

This hearty meal is the national dish of Slovakia, and is right up there as one of the most important of the country’s foods.

Bryndzové halušky consists of a wholesome combination of potato dumplings topped with fried bacon and sheep’s cheese.

Slovaks use a high-quality, soft, and creamy locally-produced sheep’s cheese, bryndza, in this dish. Bryndza is one of Slovakia’s most beloved cheeses, and it is very much a source of national pride.

Once the dumplings are filled with cheese, the dish is topped with sour cream, fried onion, spring onion, and crispy bacon pieces.

The dough-based version of this dish is called bryndzové pirohy, and consists of pierogi-style dumplings filled with bryndza. This version pairs delightfully well with a glass of sour sheep’s milk, žinčica, which has a tangy, fermented taste. Also look out for strapačky, which uses sauerkraut instead of sheep’s cheese.

9.Andy Warhol

The pop art master was born in Pittsburg, but his parents came from Medzilaborce, a small town in the northeastern region of Slovakia. Thanks to this, the country now houses the second-largest collection of his works in the world. Warhol (originally Warhola) never visited Slovakia but his brother helped establish the museum. It opened in 1991 and now displays 160 originals from one of the most famous creative forces of the 20th century.
