Poprad, Administrative town at the base of High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia
Poprad is a town in northern Slovakia situated at the edge of the High Tatras. It spreads across rolling terrain and is crossed by several rivers that shape its landscape.
The town was first documented in 1256 when Slavic people lived in the area. German settlers arrived later after Mongol invasions and influenced how the town developed.
The main square of Poprad is surrounded by townhouses from different centuries that shape how the city looks and feels. Walking through the old town, you notice how these historic buildings frame the everyday life of residents.
The town has an accessible airport that connects the region with other parts of Europe and serves as an important arrival point for visitors. Many people use it as a starting point for trips to the surrounding mountain areas.
Between the 15th and 18th centuries, the town changed hands between kingdoms, which left marks on its local culture and buildings. This period shaped how the place looks and its traditions in ways you can still see today.
