Day 14 - History & Art
Mestský Park This is large green space next to the train station, with a network of walking paths connecting points of interest and activity areas.
Bridge of Love & Jakab’s Palace. Heading directly away from the train station, we'll be on the east end of Mlynská, looking toward the Cathedral. We'll cross the Bridge of Love and on our right will be Jakab’s Palace. Built relatively recently (1899) as a home, the building was later used for state functions and social events. It is currently closed to visitors, but quite a sight from the outside.
We'll take an unnecessary detour via Orlia and Zvonárska simply to walk through some pretty streets!
East Slovak Gallery Exhibits change regularly. Entry to all exhibitions (including in their second building on Alžbetina) is included.
Coat of Arms Košice was the first town in Europe to be granted its own coat of arms, in 1369. The bronze sculpture at the south end of Hlavná is from 2002.
Archaeological Museum The remains of the medieval city walls and waterways were discovered in 1996 during construction work. Some of this now-underground infrastructure can be visited.
Vojtech Löffler Museum Dedicated to the art, mainly sculpture, of the 20th-century artist. Entry $6.
