02. The Host City Košice
The metropolis of eastern Slovakia and the second largest city of Slovakia (population roughly 250,000) offers a wider
kinds of services than anywhere outside of Bratislava. The city with mostly industrial tradition boasts with its attractive and
extensive old town, gathered around a pedestrian high street and the town square. Most of the city’s restaurants as well as
hotels are situated around the main square or in surrounded places.
The significant history of the Košice City dates back to the late Middle Ages, the period from which dates its well known
cathedral too. In those times was Košice arguably the entire region’s most important centre outside of Budapest. It served as
a key crossroad for traders from Italy, Germany and Netherlands as well as those of other eastern European cultures. Since
that period the city declined more than once only to gain the importance again, above all in recent few decades as a major
industrial centre.
The attractions of Košice are focused around the pedestrians-only main square, one of Slovakia’s vigorous. The dominant of
the city is the Gothic Cathedral of St Elizabeth, and its neighbour The Empire State Theatre, the home of opera and ballet
which offers performances in Slovak, Hungarian and Roma languages, or by puppets, all in the vicinity. The city’s museums
concentrate their interest on historical aspects of art, culture and technology, and most of them are situated not a long way
from the main square. Beneath the square itself lies more to see: extensive excavations have unveiled unique remnants of
medieval fortifications and other traces of the city’s past.
In a field of business is Košice a leader in heavy industry. One of Slovakia’s largest plants of any kind is the steel mill currently
runned by U. S. Steel, Around this complex a number of international suppliers and processors have clustered. Košice is also
a major transit hub. Its universities offer degrees in most specializations, including medicine, law, engineering and veterinary
science (the latter being Slovakia’s only such university), several of which are offered in English especially for non-native
students.
Regarding traffic Košice offers daily connections to Prague, Bratislava and Wien by plane; and its main train station has
direct daily connections to Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow and Kiev. A highway (E50) runs to Prešov and part-way to
the High Tatras and the Spiš regions, and other roads connect it to all other directions.
Nearby attractions, all within about an hour’s drive, include the beautifully-restored The Krásna Hôrka castle, and the huge
19th-century hunting chateau of Betliar. Natural attractions include several caves registered as UNESCO Cultural Heritage
sites, a mineral geyser, and extensive hiking trails – as well as the aptly-named The Slovak Paradise.
Košice is known as a city with rich sporting tradition. Every year since 1924, there is organized International Pace Marathon.
There was also hosted many significant world events, among other World University Orienteering Championships 2006
and World Championships in ice-hockey 2011. Junior World Orienteering Championships 2012 will be other significant
events which will take place in Košice in the close future.
