City guide
The best places in Trenčín for one day or a long weekend
Trenčín is compact and easy to explore on foot. The obvious highlight is Trenčín Castle above the town, but a well-planned visit should also include the Roman inscription below the castle rock, the historic centre, the synagogue and a calmer walk in Brezina forest park. For guests, the big advantage is that the main landmarks fit naturally into one practical day out.
