The republic was established on 1st of January 1993 after
Czechoslovakia split into two countries – Czech Republic and
Slovakia. Since then, the political system in both countries is
parliamentary democracy and the first day of the year became
a national holiday.
Slovakia's territory spans about 49,000 square kilometers
(19,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is
over 5 million and comprises mostly ethnic Slovaks. The capital

UNIQUE THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
SLOVAKIA
Slovakia is a country of surprising contrasts.
This facts will blow your mind!
1. World’s highest number of castles and chateaux per capita
This is one of the most interesting facts about Slovakia. Just
imagine an incredible number of 180 castles and 425 chateaux in a
country with the entire population far smaller than the city of New
York! The most popular castles such as Bratislava castle, Orava
castle or Bojnice castle draw thousands of visitors every year
2. The only capital in the world bordering two
countries
The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava, lies on the borders with Austria and Hungary.
That makes the city the only one capital in the world that borders two
independent countries. Moreover, Austrian capital Vienna is distant only 60 km!
Both cities are stretched on the banks of Danube river and the boat cruise from
Vienna to Bratislava takes only 90 minutes.
3. Travelling by train for free
Since November 2014 all children, full-time students less than 26 years
old, widowed or disabled pensioners under 62 and seniors 62 and older
are eligible to travel by train for free using the national railways. It is
available only for citizens or permanent residents of countries that are
member states of the European Union. All you need is a quick registration
at cash desks to obtain your personal customer card. Afterwards, you ask
for a zero-fare ticket for a specific train and enjoy the ride.
