Košice, Metropolitan center in eastern Slovakia
The Cathedral of St. Elisabeth stands in the center of Košice, featuring a tall spire and Gothic architecture with intricate stone carvings from the 14th century.
The city received royal privileges in 1290, establishing itself as a significant trade hub between the Kingdom of Hungary and northern European territories.
The State Theatre presents regular opera, ballet, and drama performances in a Neo-baroque building dating from 1899, with productions in Slovak language.
The Visit Košice Infopoint at Hlavná 59 provides tourist information, maps, and guided tour bookings from Monday through Friday between 11:00 and 17:00.
Three preserved bastions from the medieval fortification system remain in Košice, incorporating underground passages that connected different parts of the city.
