Hobo Advice

Compared to its neighbors, Czech Republic and Austria, Slovakia is significantly less traveled, which is all the more reason you should go. Most of the places you go, you'll be surrounded be locals, taking in and enjoying the culture and I definitely recommend walking through the old town which is nice, small and welcoming. Most of all though, definitely go down to the riverbank of the Danube. It is an incredibly gorgeous area, lined by trees on either side and not obstructed by development like other cities
