Banská Štiavnica
We often say that a town is like stepping back in time, but time actually did stand still in this little town, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. While the silver and gold mined there lasted it was incredibly wealthy, as can be seen by the quality of the buildings. This made it a target for the invading Ottoman Empire, resulting in the building of two significant castles. In 1782 it was the third largest town in the Kingdom of Hungary, but when the mines ran dry, the town stopped still.
I highly recommend a visit to the open air mining museum near Banské Štiavnica. Apparently 20% of the worlds gold was mined in the region. Entry is €1 to the surface museum, or €5 for the underground tour. #UNESCO

Great- but hard to find.
Amalia Apartment was very spacious and comfortable - once we found it. The address given is misleading and the street number defies logic. Please change the address on the website. To avoid wasting time I advise future visitors to contact host directly for exact location in the street. No complaints ...
