Skalica, Trnava Region, Slovakia

Overview

A Záhorie border town of a Romanesque rotunda, an Art Nouveau cultural house and the protected Skalický trdelník — the spit-baked cake Slovakia claims as its own. Set in Western Slovakia, it rewards an unhurried visit — its walls, views and local history, with cafés or a village nearby to round out the trip; May – September is the pleasantest time to come.

Why visit: Rotunda, folk-Secession architecture and Slovakia's original trdelník.
