Košice invites you to a unique celebration of running, held as part of the famous, oldest marathon in Europe. It’s here that the fascinating history of sport meets a fantastic fan atmosphere, carrying runners to the finish line with loud cheers🏅. The half-marathon route, remarkably flat, consists of one large loop that runs straight through the stunning historic city center, creating truly perfect conditions for setting new personal bests. Wondering how to fill your time once the post-race excitement has settled?🤔
As a tasty reward after such intense effort, I recommend sitting down in a local restaurant and ordering a hearty portion of nourishing, traditional Slovak goulash with dumplings🍲. Once you’ve replenished the calories you burned, take your family for a relaxing stroll along the charming Hlavná Street, where you can admire together the breathtaking, largest in Slovakia Gothic St. Elizabeth’s Cathedral. For couples, a great option is a romantic trip to the Tokaj wine region, less than an hour’s drive away, where you can sample excellent local wines in a calm atmosphere🍷. If you still have a bit of strength left in your legs, be sure to also visit the majestic Spiš Castle, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which will be a wonderful finale to this sporty getaway!🎉
