A unique experience - Attendance is in fact in complete caving gear, including a helmet with light (there is no light installed in the cave). The highlight of the tour of the beautiful underground world is called Stalactite of the Rožňava Cavers, one of the biggest stalactites in the world (it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest).

The geyser of Herľany is a rarity in Europe as there are only eight geysers like this one in the whole world. The geyser came into existence by making an artificial borehole to a depth of 405 metres. Eruptions of this geyser are irregular and dependent on ground water circulation. Before you decide to see it, it is better to check the next eruption.

Jakab's Palace
At the end of Mlynska street opposite City Park, the site where the enchanting artificial brook called Mlynský náhon was originally created is now home to this charming palace. The palace was not the residence of some noble family, however, but the private house of well-known Košice builder Peter Jakab, who was also responsible for building the National Theatre building and the East Slovak Museum. In April 1945 the palace enjoyed its greatest heyday, when it was the residence of the president of the Czechoslovak Republic, Edvard Beneš.

Beautiful Gothic chapel dedicated to Archangel Michael stands next to the St. Elisabeth Cathedral in Košice and like this house, it is also an example of high Gothic architecture in our country. Chapel was built in the 14th century on the site of the former Cemetery and it initially served as an ossuary.

The reconstructed orthodox synagogue and adjacent Jewish school. The buildings are the work of well-known Košice architect Ľudovít Oelschläger and the builder Hugo Kaboš from the end of the 1930s. The orthodox synagogue is a specifi c combination of historic elements and touches of oriental architecture together with modern elements, most notably cubism. The interior walls of the synagogue are inscribed in pencil with the comments of Jews who were gathered there before being transported to the concentration camps.

One of the typical features of Košice palaces is the placement of a coat-of-arms on their main facing. The coat-of-arms of the former Abov-Turniansky territorial unit from 1558 adorns the Župný Dom building (Shire Hall), which served from 1779 as a centre of the unit. Now a home to the East Slovak Gallery houses, in addition to premises for art expositions, an exquisite meeting room and the smallest public cinema in Košice.
