Magical zone

To get a full sample of the city, take a walk along Hlavna Ulica, the longest pedestrian zone in Slovakia. It is lined with architectural marvels, shops, restaurants and cafes. A unique feature of the street is the lengthwise fountain alluding to the original Čermeľský Potok stream that ran in this area. The 14-m-tall plague column was raised to mark the end of war, famine and plague. Just a few more steps will take you to the Fountain of the Zodiac where you can find your sign and make a wish – and see if it comes true… When you walk past the building of the State Theatre, slow down and enjoy the charming sight of the Singing Fountain. The streams of water are let out to match music played from loudspeakers, chimed out by the carillon, and sometimes even live music from the theatre. The magic of the fountain is amplified by colourful lights.
