Slovakia

6 scams

Slovakia has much to offer. Here, you can traverse hiking trails along beautiful, untouched landscapes, immerse in unique folk traditions and historic cities as well as marvel at magnificent castles.

The country is also very safe to visit with a low crime rate. That said, there are a few potential pitfalls to watch out for.

Note: vast majority of trips are trouble free and there is no need to be paranoid. That said, it always pays to be aware, careful, and prepared.
