My visit to Banská Bystrica was like stepping back in time to the medieval ages. The city is nestled in the hills and surrounded by dense forests, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The streets are narrow and winding, with charming old houses lining each one. One of the highlights of my visit was the central square, which boasts a beautiful fountain and the majestic Clock Tower. The tower is over four hundred years old and serves as a symbol of the city's rich history.
