I'm hoping to visit this village of Bojnice where my grandparents were born.
Slovakia is a beautiful little country and the people are very nice. Slovakia is very safe.
The only thing you need worry about there are Gypsy villages, where you can be robbed. Slovakia happens to have Europe's largest Gypsy population.
"Slovakia happens to have Europe's largest Gypsy population."
No, there are Gypsies in the East of the country, but Romania has many more then Slovakia could dream of.
Agreed, Slovakia is wonderful. My sister lives in Bratislava and I've visited quite a few times.
