Day 2
Kežmarok & Levoča
We will step into a different world in the medieval towns of Levoča and Kežmarok where time stands still.

We will tour a local distillery to sample liquors that have been made here for longer than anyone remembers.

The town of Bardejov was once built on the crossroads of important trade routes. Today, it is a treasure that people from all over the world come to admire.

No Sunday afternoon is complete without a stroll and we will take you on the most spectacular walk. Is there anything better than a path winding through the treetops?

Follow in the footsteps of the most famous Rusyn in the world! We will visit some of the most stunning wooden churches in Slovakia and peak into the village were the parents of Andy Warhol were born!
