Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Kosice?

St. Elisabeth Cathedral : Climb the tower for a sweep of red roofs, then step into the Gothic nave to see the high altar, stone tracery, and a quiet chapel tucked off the aisle. Hlavná ulica and the Singing Fountain : Stroll the long pedestrian main street past cafés and pastel façades, pause by the State Theatre, and watch the fountain’s jets pulse to music. East Slovak Museum : Visit the Košice Gold Treasure to peer at thousands of medieval coins in a secure glass vault, then explore galleries on regional history and craft. Mikluš Prison : Walk through vaulted cells and a former execution yard, reading about medieval justice where it actually unfolded. Mestský park (City Park) : Unwind under tall trees on winding paths, cross an elegant iron footbridge, and watch locals relax around the ponds just off the centre.
