Travel Slovakia 2012 - Košice Christmas - Košicke Vianoce

Košice Christmas 2012. Vesele Vianoce. A stastlivy Novy Rok.
Košice, with 234000 citizens, is the second largest town in Slovakia after the capital. It is situated in the eastern part of the country, close to the border with Hungary (20 km) on the south, Ukraine on the east (80 km) and Poland on the north (90 km).
The town is located in the valley of the River Hornád; on the west it is surrounded by Slovak mountain Slovenské rudohorie. Košice is the Eastern Slovakia's centre of culture, industry, commerce, administration and science.
Slovakia's second largest city is a historic treasure trove, as well as a lively melting pot of nationalities. The Old Town's (stare mesto) pedestrian -- only cobble -- stone main square is lined with baroque and neo-classical mansions. In fact, Kosice has the largest preserved urban area in the country. It also has Slovakia's most beautiful cathedral in the middle of the oval-shaped main square.
