Bardejov Attractions & Surroundings

The unspoiled town cobbled square is a picture postcard view of town life in late medieval and early renaissance Europe. The dominant theme is rows of affluent merchants’ houses of German influence, each with its own variations of pastel colouring, roofing and other details. Several churches, the oldest two being some five hundred years old, pay tribute to a variety of architectural styles and periods, from authentic gothic to gothic revival, but for the most part the flavour is 16th- to 18th-century. There are several museums of period artefacts, the most unique of them dedicated to 15th-century icons. Around it all are the formidable town walls, with a number of well-marked descriptions.

The neighbouring spa town of Bardejovske Kupele features typical empire-era resort architecture, free access to the curative waters in the town park, and an exceptional model village museum of peasant buildings. If you’re staying in or near Bardejov, you also have the nearest base for a day trip to Slovakia’s truly unique wooden churches from a bygone era.
