Piešťany: Beckov and Trenčín Castles & Čičmany Tour

Discover Slovakia’s rich history on a tour from Piešťany. Visit Beckov, and Trenčín Castles, explore the village of Čičmany and Slovak Bethlehem.
Begin your adventure at Beckov Castle, an enchanting ruin perched dramatically on a steep cliff above the village of Beckov. Though partly in ruins, this historic site captivates visitors with its commanding location and fascinating history. Originally built as a fort in the 12th century, it later became a noble residence under the Stibor family. Today, the castle hosts various seasonal events and exhibitions, and the views from its walls overlooking the river and rolling hills evoke a timeless atmosphere.

Continue to Trenčín Castle, the region’s crowning jewel and one of Slovakia’s largest fortresses. Dominating the town of Trenčín, the castle features courtyards, a museum, a Gothic chapel, and the iconic Matúš Tower, once home to the powerful medieval nobleman Matúš Čák. Inside, explore exhibits showcasing medieval life, armor, and local legends. From the top, take in stunning vistas of the Váh River and the town below.

Leave the castles behind for the charming village of Čičmany, renowned for its traditional wooden houses adorned with white geometric patterns. These designs once served as protection, and today they stand as symbols of Slovak folk culture. Walking through the village's peaceful streets and visiting local museums offers an authentic glimpse into Slovak traditions and craftsmanship.

Step into the magical realm of the Slovak Bethlehem in Rajecká Lesná, Europe’s largest movable wooden Nativity scene. Over eight meters wide and featuring approximately 300 hand-carved figures—many in motion—it brings the Nativity story and centuries of Slovak history vividly to life, offering a unique cultural experience.
