Travel 2016 – Trencin

I travelled to Trencin on the train from Bratislava – it took 1.25 hours each way and the whole trip cost 12 Euros. The final destination of the train was Kosice.

Trencin was hot – about 34 degrees C, which made the slog up to the castle quite difficult to do all in one go. The castle has a magnificent setting and, for the photographers, is best seen after 3pm. In the town, there are two squares full of interesting buildings and the former synagogue is now an arts centre. There’s a Roman inscription on a rock face, which can be seen in the Elizabeth Hotel. The castle dominates the town and lovely pictures can be taken from the very quiet main street.
