Situated in the Štiavnické vrchy Mountains, Banská Štiavnica is a charming former mining town that has earned a spot on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List. With a population of 10,900, it is considered one of Slovakia’s most beautiful and historically significant towns.

The town’s historic center is a designated Town Monument Reserve, encompassing 360 structures.
