What you can expect

Start your adventure in the quaint village of Čičmany, famous for its vibrant wooden houses decorated with unique white geometric patterns that feel like stepping into a living folk art gallery. Next, head to the serene village of Rajecká Lesná to marvel at the intricate Slovak Bethlehem, a moving wooden nativity scene packed with hundreds of carved figures telling stories of Slovak life and heritage.

Then, travel north to the striking Trenčín Castle, an iconic fortress offering sweeping views from Matúš Tower, a gothic chapel, and a rich museum filled with the tales of knights and rulers who shaped the region.

Enjoy a relaxing escape to Smolenice Castle, a romantic neo-Gothic residence set on a hill at the foot of the Little Carpathians, less than an hour from Bratislava. During the trip, guests can stroll through the landscaped English park, enjoy panoramic views from the castle tower, and learn how this former medieval fortress was transformed in the 20th century into an elegant chateau used today for conferences and special events. The experience combines castle history, beautiful nature, and photo spots that feel straight out of a fairytale.

Next, wind down your day at Červený Kameň Castle nestled in the Little Carpathians. Explore its Renaissance halls, underground vaults, and stately rooms that echo the grandeur of noble life, all surrounded by peaceful forests.

As twilight falls, cap off your cultural odyssey at Bratislava’s viewpoint near the castle. Sip a drink while soaking in breathtaking panoramic views of the Danube, city lights, and distant mountains—an unforgettable finale to a day filled with legends, artistry, and scenic wonders.

As a special thank-you, you’ll also receive a small surprise gift at the end of the tour — a perfect keepsake to remember your experience!
