If you feel adventurous, you can climb the cathedral tower and enjoy a beautiful view of Kosice. In the city centre tourists can enjoy drinks and meals at bars, cafes, restaurants or go to boutiques and museums, among them Kosice Gold Treasure Museum. During medieval times, these buildings were merchants and aristocrats houses. In the centre of the square, locals and tourists can visit the Theatre, with presentations of ballet, opera and plays. Kosice is also the home of the oldest marathon in Europe and the second oldest in the world. After having lunch in Kosice, we will head to the Tokaj wine region. Tokaj is well known in Slovakia as the ‘wine of kings, or the king of wines’ because in the past it was served in all royal European meals. Nowadays, there are 10 types of Tokaj wines which got prizes in and outside Europe. A rarity found in this region are the Tokaj medieval wineries and cellars carved in volcanic rocks called tufas. The cellars date from the turkish wars in this region, where they were built to serve as refuge to the troops involved in the war. Some cellars were built with an eight to sixteen metre depth. This is definitely a trip that cannot be missed if you are visiting Slovakia.
