Slovakia
Formally part of Czechoslovakia with its neighbour, the Czech Republic, Slovakia has its own, distinctive identity and culture. A small, landlocked country, Slovakia's only major city is Bratislava, near the Austrian border. Slovakia's countryside is picturesque - think forests, valleys and mountains dotted with small towns and crumbling castles.
Along with the stunning High Tatras Mountains, Slovakia has many national parks and many spectacular gorges and valleys to explore. There are also several historic sites that date back to the Stone Age.
