History on your doorstep

If you are coming to discover the historic treasures of Banská Bystrica, our guesthouse is the perfect base. Just leave the motorway, park in our car park and set off. SNP Square is just 1.1 km away on foot – with the Town Castle and its Barbican, the Clock Tower and Thurzo House, plus plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars. The Museum of the Slovak National Uprising is nearby too, and on the way you can stop in the City Park.

Culture and entertainment

Ministry of Fun, the largest nightclub in Slovakia, is a 15-minute walk away. We also recommend the Hogo Fogo jazz club. About 300 metres from the guesthouse is the Paľo Bielik Amphitheatre, which hosts many concerts every year. For a quieter evening there is the State Opera or the Puppet Theatre at the Crossroads (Bábkové divadlo na Rázcestí).

About 2 kilometres from the guesthouse you will find the SNP Stadium, the city sports hall and the year-round Štiavničky swimming pool; in summer there is the Aqualand beach pool. Skiers use us as a base – Králiky and Kordíky are 10 km away, Šachtičky 12 km, Selce 17 km and Donovaly 25 km.
