Always take clothing appropriate to the season. Remember waterproof clothing due to the possibility of rain. Good walking shoes are a must for exploring the towns.

Health and Safety:
Carry essential medications and first aid kits. Also, tap water is drinkable in Slovakia, but it's better to drink bottled water if you have a sensitive stomach.
