Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsI absolutely loved St. Elizabeth's and went in on every one of my three days in the city.
A combo ticket is available to cover the cost of entry to the cathedral, the crypt and the spiral staircase inside as well as the steps up to the tower outside. For an extra euro it allowed access to the small Chapel next door. All only six euro.
Beautiful gothic cathedral with huge columns and vaulted ceiling. The altar was a beautiful golden triptych and the place was resplendant in bright light coming in through the many, many stained glass windows.
Although the cathedral is about 600 years old, there has obviously been extensive renovations/restoration as the place looks absolutely pristine.
The spiral staircase is a must as you get a birds eye view of the interior and the tower is fantastic as you get absolutely the best view of Kosice from the top, 164 stone-cut steps up.
Outside is beautiful too, especially when the golden sunlight lights up the stone.
Honestly, the highlight of any visit to Kosice, I just couldn't get enough of the place.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A rather southern experience in mood, too, not just the location :)
Walk aound, enjoy yards, passages and cafes.
I could not visit any museums, as we were visiting during the high holiday time, so, no museum review this time.Written 5 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsLoved this place, something completely different. The executioners quarters were gruesome, as were the torture chambers. The prson kitchens are on the tour, as are the cells. The audio guide included waa brilliant.
Highlight for me was the basement/dungeons under the prison. Excellent value at €5.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's located near the cathedral on the road to the main bus and train stations, next to Mestskey Park.
To my knowledge its not visitable on the inside, but it's definitely worth a photo stop.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsLovely ornate monunent to victims of the plague right on the main drag, Hlavna. It's about 100m beyond the Opera House, and about a three minute walk from the cathedral.
I'd be a oity to miss it.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - lolas83724 contributionsVisited this place with my family (8and 9 years old)
The zoo inside forest, so that’s great to walk between the paths The animals - ok. Nothing special.
Parking cost 2 euro.
Dino park is nice for kids.
Good family place.Written 17 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is one of only two theatres in Slovakia, the other one being the National Theatre in Bratislava, to be home to opera, ballet as well as drama.Written 9 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsLovely views of the city and wll warth the short journey out of town.
Bus No.29 goes from outside the main train and bus station and takes about 15 or so minutes. Coat is €1 each way for adults.
At the stop you then walk uphill through the forest along a well worn path to the Lookout. There is a car park there also.
It does close seasonally but never fear, there is another viewpoint 100m from it along the path on the ridge.
There are castle ruins there and a skansen-type reconstruction of a medieval village complete with small museum and toilets.
There was a little food truck there serving snacks.
Tip- get two bus tickets in the city, one for each way of the journey as there is no ticket machine up there. There is one at the city end.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Staff was okay.Written 6 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsI'm not hugely into shopping but I ended up here one evening for a bit of food.
It's bright, modern, well lit and pleasant. Loads of good shops and high street brands. Excellent food court.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can get a combo ticket in the cathedral.
It dates from 1380 and the guide told me it's mainly used now for weddings, funerals abd sometimes on Sundays.
Well worth taking in this little gem.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
