Overview

Kežmarok is a compact historical town in Slovakia's Spiš region, notable for its UNESCO-listed wooden articular church built during Protestant persecution. The pedestrianised old town, castle, and proximity to the Tatra Mountains make it a worthwhile half-day stop between larger destinations.
