With a population just shy of 5.4 million people, this smaller central European country is full of Caves, Castles, and Springs. Slavs have occupied this area since the 6th Century, and have been independent since separating from Czechoslovakia in 1993.

The capital is Bratislava, but there are plenty of cities and parks to see. The official language is Slovakian, and the Euro is their currency. Since the surrounding countries are more of a tourist destination, Slovakia has been able to remain untouched and peaceful.
