 Introduction
Slovakia (Slovak: Slovensko) is a landlocked republic in Central Europe. It borders the Czech Republic and Austria in the west, Poland in the north, Ukraine in the east and Hungary in the south.
Slovakia is a member of the European Union and has a population of more than five million.
The capital is Bratislava.
Slovakia deserves its own turn in the spotlight. When it split with the Czech Republic in 1993, Slovakia got the heavy industry and a less progressive government. The Czechs got the tourist sights, most of the economic opportunity and the “buzz” on the international scene.
Today, however, Slovakia has much for the tourists to discover. Its mountain villages maintain a traditional way of life, and its cosmopolitan capital city, Bratislava, is home to chic boutiques and internatinal restaurants and hotels.
Slovakia is also well-known for its spa towns and boasts some of the largest caves and ice caverns in Europe. For a vacation that wont tax your budget, Slovakia offers much to see and do.
Even more so for the business arena. Slovakia has mastered much of the difficult transition from a centrally planned economy to a modern market economy.
