Michalovce & Zemplín Museum

Michalovce, Košice Region

The Zemplín region's main town, its Sztáray manor holding a museum of local archaeology and folk life, and the base for Šírava and the Vihorlat. Set in Eastern 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.
