We admire the Historical building of the Slovak National Theatre, Hotel Carlton, statue of one of our most famous poet. We talk about the former city fortification, about the Slavic language groups and according to the square we dive into cinematography.

St. Martin's Cathedral (Dom svateho Martina)
Shortly visit of the Cathedral. It depends on if there is no service or a wedding. This is the place where Hungarian monarchs were coronated, which symbolizes the top of the tower with a crown and not with a cross as it is usually. If you have not heard about what we do on Easter Monday, this is the best time to talk about it as we pass by one weeping willow tree.
