Overview

Slovakia's grandest spa town — sulphurous thermal mud on a Váh river island, reached by the Colonnade Bridge with its crutch-breaking statue. A relaxing stop in Western Slovakia: thermal pools and easy grounds make it a gentle day for families or a warm-water break between mountain hikes.

Why visit: Central Europe's classic thermal-mud cure in Art Nouveau surroundings.

History: Treating rheumatism since the 16th century; the Winter Palace and Thermia Palace made it a Habsburg-era resort of note.
