TOP 10 Most Rated tourist attractions in Staré Mesto

It is immediately obvious that the temple is very old, as is the building next to it. Very beautiful interior, a lot of painting. But it’s a shame that we couldn’t go inside the temple. Photos had to be taken through the bars at the entrance.

A beautiful Catholic Gothic church in the middle of old town Kosice. The interior of it is very impressive.

Nice

Superb

Humongous (but kinda hidden) church, not that big from outside, but I just did not like the echoing here

beautiful church in the heart of kosice. note the balconies on the second floor which were reserved for the aristocracy so that they don't have to sit with the peasants. snobs.

A young beautiful and so cute lady explained every details. Fascinating place. Thank you!

Awesome experience, the priest let us in even if the church about to close. And he explains about the church history. There I heard one of the most beautiful gospel.

Unique baroque church with beautiful interior.

Beautiful church. Interesting preaching.

This is an interesting place if you are interested in religion. You can understand a little bit about the history of the bell in front of the tower. There are no observation decks or windows from which you can see the city.

One of the dominant structures in Košice. This hundreds of years old tower would benefit from some kind of renovation, but is still worth visiting - including the St.Urban Bell located outside on a small square. Inside is a small wax museum (historical figures from Košice).

Nice historical place

Velvetrun 24.06.2023. Grate day. More then 500 wumen was there.

Simple and nice. Impressive.

If you want to know more about Kosice's history this stop is a must. Miklus Prison shows part of Slovakia history from the years 1200 and the following centuries. You can see weapons, cells, the kitchen and more in three different levels, including a subterranean one, all of this with the help of an audio guide in different languages and introductory video.

It's ok, the signs telling you what the exhibits are need to be in multi language, so all can understand. The audio guide needs to be in some kind of order. The ticketing needs to explain what you get for each price. I got the ticket that includes everything but nothing says once you've done this area got to here. All very disjointed would have been a lot better with better direction

Went to door of prison which was closed, so asked at the ticket office in executioners bastion and was told we could buy tickets there and she would let us in. So we did that, she let us in and put on a video for us to watch and explained how to use audio guides and then left us to our own devices so we wandered around the museum by ourselves. The museum is very interesting and has lots of interesting things to look at, I would recommend going. Cost is 4 euros for an adult.

Very cute

Very interesting building, especially the cellar. Critics are only about the fact, that many information boards are just in slovak language, which is difficult to understand for a foreign tourist.

Nice museum in town centre with exhibitions about propaganda, the kosice treasury and an old wooden church in the backyard. Usually the church is closed because of chemical reaction, but if you ask the staff nicely, they might open it up for u. But I was a bit disappointed, since I imagined some part about the rich history of eastern slovakia, but actually there was not much about that in the museum, also very little about the city itself. Worth mentioning is the exhibition about the history of the museum itself on the 3rd floor.

Very interesting museum with a permanent collection along with temporary exhibits. First we started with the visit to the Russian church rebuilt on the outside, then we moved underground for the astonishing collection of golden coins found in the center of Košice, which alone deserves a visit. Eventually we moved to upper floors, visiting a temporary exhibition about Baroque, another one about a contemporary artist and another one about the "Century of Propaganda": really a lot to see and learn from a single Museum! Setup is modern and well built. As other visitors have pointed out, explanations are only available in Slovak language, but with an ordinary smartphone everyone can get easy access to a translation. Catalogues can be bought from the reception at the entrance, for a very reasonable price.

One of the worst museums I've ever been to. Except for the treasure part, so coins and so on, which was cool, there was nothing interesting there. Even the temporary exhibition about communism which I was interested in, didn't have the english translations. Really disappointing.

Really interesting museum with lots of exhibits on different topics, including a huge find of gold coins.

Great museum. In the Vault there are several golden coins treasures , the middle part is the gothic exhibition and the top is the local folklore.Make sure you go out to see the wooden church in the back yard- it may be locked, but they will come to open it for you when you ask. Buy a thicket for all 4 museums ( valid for 2 days).

Nice looking fountain. There are carps in the water, but the water was quite dirty.

Nice place to stop and eat ice cream from one of the shops around.

Nice Fontain, a lot of benches to sit nearby

Beautiful rest place with Fontaine.

Najsuper place...

Great expositions of old scientific instruments, engineering tools and quirky old industrial design. Some very unique pieces, including an original enigma machine. Beautiful stuff. Also there is a large interactive science experience center full of interactive exhibits and games for kids. It is great.

Great physics experiments for kids and family.

Perfect place. So many thongs to see. There they have Enigma too. And nany, many other things

Small on the outside but big on inside. Very nice interactive exposition for kids. Phone and typewriter exposition was best!

It's a mish mash of many different scientific areas and there is no rhyme or reason. From metallurgy to old telephones to electrical devices to dentistry, the building is like a maze just meandering from room to room. Even so it's worth 5 euros but know going in that only about 1/3 of the exhibits are translated to English!

beautiful building between old town and Main Station with interesting history. Built by industrialist more than a hundred years back, it was bought by a jewish person before wwII. a few decades back the offsprings of this person claimed ownership and now a lawsuit is pending back and forth between this person and the government. since this lawsuit is far from finished, this wonderful building sadly remains closed to the public and can only be admired from outside

It's a castle, but it looks like Catholic church..... But it's close to the Public. This Structure is next to the Beautiful Park. I wish I could enter the building.

Unfortunately this place cannot be visited 😥 due to a legal battle between a previous owner and local council (as we found out during the walking tour). Great building but you'll have to make do with seeing it from the outside only.

A special building that can unfortunately only be viewed from the outside. It also seems to me to be in a somewhat neglected state and the location is unfortunately close to a major road.

A once in a decade chance to see inside this historic building. Needs significant input to restore it to its former glory. It's a beautiful building in a prime location.

An amazing place where you can relax. The entire old town of Kosice looks amazing and it’s a great place to visit.

Good place to watch but was very surprised 😮 to hear east enders sound track playing best time to visit is at night time when all the lights are on you get a better view in the dark there is plenty off seats around to take the weight off your feet and also plenty of ice cream shops around the fountain ⛲ is ok but nor as good as the ones in Barcelona that is the best one in the world

Beautiful park and fountain that’s super calming to sit and just watch. Music plays along with it, as it is the singing fountain, which makes it a wonderful experience. Nice place to sit and just enjoy the day, especially when there is a slight breeze. It’s a must see, when you come to the city. If you are a geocacher there is a fun geocache here too.

Very nice fountain and park around to relax. However, there’s no singing just loud instrumental “hotel lift” music playback disrupting this idyllic spot in the centre of the old town. No synchronisation. “Až na hudbu všetko super.”

I recommend visit also at night when you can also see the nice lights. Nothing special, but don't miss when in Kosice.

A very beautiful cathedral. It amazes with its gothic, upward-looking interior. The cathedral is very huge. You can look at it endlessly. Especially outside there are many sculptures and bas-reliefs.

Good site for a quick visit (around 30min. counting the tower), unless you're a devout Catholic. Then, time is of no importance. The biggest plus is that the tower is reportedly the highest place in Košice, so you get a nice view from the top. We went up the tower with our three children, but I would not advise it for children under 6-7 (except if you want to do a quick workout, or learn patience and endurance). The remainder of the church is child-friendly and some zones are handicap accessible. You should, however, be mindful of the people praying in the pews.

Review for St. Elisabeth's Cathedral in Kosice, Slovakia: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nestled in the heart of Kosice's charming streets, St. Elisabeth's Cathedral stands as a dazzling centrepiece, demanding admiration from every passerby.

Whether you're standing in the shadows of St. Elisabeth's or pondering life's challenges, remember that with the right perspective and support, every challenge becomes an opportunity. 🌍💪🏼🏰.

The church has amazing architecture and decorations. You can also visit the tower and enjoy the view, but you need to climb many stairs. It totally worths it.

It is definitively a number one must see when visiting Košice. Question is, which tickets are worth of buying, as this cathedral offers various combination. There are no guided tours available at weekends, so we bought whole cathedral (5 eur) plus entry to neighboring chappel of st. Michael. Included crypts in cathedral are nothing special, but access to two towers is definitely worth of buying whole package tour/ticket.
