Poprad - Tatras, East Slovak town under High Tatras with beautiful centre & mountain views

The town is located in the northeast of Slovakia about 112 km from Košíc and is the gateway to the High Tatras. A popular destination for tourists from both Slovakia and abroad. I will remember, for example, St. Egídio Square with a church, a view, a fountain and good Slovak restaurants.

If we don’t want to go to the Tatras, we can also enjoy the view from the South 3 housing estate. Poprad - Tatras railway station is important in Poprad, where international express trains from Prague also stop, Vienna Bratislava and Žilina.

From the station Poprad - Tatras we can continue by train to Starý Smokovec or Tatranský Lomnice. The city plays both football (FK Poprad) and hockey (HK Poprad). When you are in this town, have a Slovakian Potato Dumplings with Bryndza Cheese and a beer Zlatý Bažant.

@PeterNagy The view of the mountains when the sunlight is on them is quite spectacular, really. How long did you stay in this town or was it just a day visit?

@StephenAbraham Thanks, I only stayed in the city one day, it takes at least two or three days for a trip to the Tatras to really enjoy it to the fullest. Anyway, when the time comes, I’m going to the Tatras for more days. But certainly the town of Poprad is worth a visit.
