Start your journey at the stunning Košice Historical Centre, where you can admire the majestic St. Elisabeth Cathedral, the largest church in Slovakia, and enjoy a leisurely stroll through its charming streets. For an exhilarating day, head to the nearby Slovak Paradise National Park, where family-friendly hiking trails lead to breathtaking waterfalls and gorges, perfect for an adventurous day out. Don’t miss the Košice Zoo, which not only features a diverse range of animals but also offers a lovely picnic area for a relaxing family afternoon. If you’re seeking a unique blend of urban and nature, the nearby dam at Zelená voda provides opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and picnicking by the water’s edge. While Kosice itself may not have traditional beaches, the city’s vibrant atmosphere and access to natural beauty make it an exciting place to stay. Look for accommodations in the city centre, where you can enjoy easy access to local eateries and attractions, as well as attentive guest service that caters to your family's needs. With quality hotels offering comfortable rooms and convenient amenities, you can unwind after a day filled with exploration. ## Top Kosice Hotel Reviews ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Kosice like for travellers who love the beach? ### When's the best time for a beach holiday in Kosice? ### What is there to see and do around Kosice? ### What's the best way to get to my beach hotel in Kosice? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
