Things To Do in Trencin

Trencín has a handsome and compact historic core, comprised of two central squares: a modern one, Stúrovo námestie, and a more traditional square, Mierové námestie, joined by the town's last remaining old town gate, the Dolná brána. Simply choose an entryway onto the square and walk.

To reach the castle, look for steps going up just before you reach the Hotel Tatra toward the end of Mierové námestie, or climb the stairs running off Farská ulica. It's a 15-minute climb to the top, with some beautiful views over the Old Town and Váh river valley.

Trencín nightlife is laid back and usually follows one of two patterns: The first is a comfortable meal at the restaurant at the Hotel Tatra followed by a stroll around the central square or maybe a climb to the castle to work off some of those calories. The second option is to have a couple more drinks at dinner and then line up at one of the clubs that line the main squares. The action starts around 10pm and goes until around 2 or 3am. It is not sophisticated in the slightest, but it can be fun if you're in the mood to dance.
