A small country lies in Central Europe with an unparalleled beauty. There is calmness in serene landscapes of icy mountain peaks, rivers, lakes, valleys, caves, meadows and slopes; peace in historical monuments, palaces and castles; and coolness in its modern cities. Things to do in Slovakia are placid in this fast moving era. Slovak cuisine is delicious and simple in which cabbages, onions and garlic are some of the chief contents. Homemade dumplings, thick sauces, dairy products and pork are other items in Slovak meals. Things to do in Slovakia are gentle and soothing.
