Liptovský Mikuláš

Liptovský Mikuláš stretches along the Váh River at 577 meters elevation, surrounded by the Low Tatras, Western Tatras, and Choč Mountains.

The settlement emerged around the Church of Saint Nicolaus in 1286, later becoming the seat of Liptov County and administrative center in 1677.

The town established the first Slovak theater in 1830 and became central to the Slovak national movement during the 19th century resistance.

The town connects to major cities through the D1 motorway and main railway line between Bratislava and Košice, with Poprad airport 30 kilometers away.

The execution site of Slovak folk hero Juraj Jánošík in 1713 stands as a memorial in the town center, marking a significant moment in Slovak history.
