Kosice, nestled in the eastern region of Slovakia, radiates charm and old-world European allure. As the country's second-largest city, it's situated on the Hornad River, near the border with Hungary. Kosice is known for its well-preserved historical architecture, particularly the St. Elisabeth Cathedral, one of the easternmost Gothic cathedrals in Europe. The city is laden with a rich cultural scene, offering a variety of museums, galleries, and theaters. Moreover, it is renowned as 2013's European Capital of Culture. The city center, adorned with medieval buildings, boutiques, and diverse restaurants, is a highlight, while those seeking outdoor pursuits can visit the nearby Slovak Ore Mountains. Kosice's unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty makes it an exceptional travel destination.

I love Košice, but there are some dark places. If you are not local or with someone that knows the town very well, I would not recommend exploring side streets, because a lot of time u can meet there junkies or just some very weird people. The city is known for its beautiful square but also for that there are a lot of junkies. But otherwise it is safe to hang out on the main street and other popular places.
