If unique journeys, offbeat destinations and thrilling experiences are your ultimate trips, Slovakia could well be next on your bucket list. You may remember it from Eli Roth's controversial horror film 'Hostel', a raw depiction of the country that encouraged a wave of adventurous travellers eager to explore this untamed Eastern European region.

Whether you're a hardened horror film enthusiast, an independent traveller looking to unearth the fascinating history beyond the screen, or simply an explorer seeking a less-travelled road, start your journey with Lycafly. With a wide selection of hostels and hotels catering to all budgets and tastes, we promise an unforgettable experience venturing into the heart of Slovakia.

When planning your trip to Slovakia or the Czech Republic, there's plenty to consider. For great weather and vibrant cultural events, May through September is often the ideal time to visit. These are perfect months for exploring the enchanting castles and historical sites that the region offers, like Neuschwanstein Castle peaking in visits in July and August.

If sightseeing is your goal, April, May, and October can prove less crowded and equally rewarding, while those seeking traditional celebrations should not miss Germany's biggest festival, Oktoberfest, in September. And for those brave enough to explore the darker edges of these nations, as mirrored in 'Hostel', the less busy season from November to March offers a unique atmosphere, with the exception of mid-December through early January when holiday festivities prevail. Therefore, tailor your visit according to your interests, be it the film’s significant locations or the vibrant city life in Prague or Bratislava. Book with Lycafly to ensure a seamless, memorable experience.
