INFORMATION AND MAPS |

As well as state-run tourist offices ( www.sacr.sk ) there's a chain
of private AICES information points ( www.infoslovak.sk ; in Slovak only),
which, in smaller towns, are often better. In summer they're generally
open Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat & Sun 9am-2pm; in winter they tend to be shut
on Sundays and close an hour earlier on other days. Most tourist offices
have English speakers.
All kinds of maps are available in the country. You can buy them, often
very cheaply, from bookshops and some hotels - ask for a plán mesta or
orientacná mapa (both town plans). Bookshops sell a huge range of
Autoatlases, and a specific booklet, Autokempingy , produced by the
Slovak tourist board, detailing routes, campsites, petrol stations,
border crossings and even sites of historic interest. For hiking, the
1:100,000 turistická mapa series details the country's complex network
of footpaths.
