This summer is the best time to discover Trenčín as a European Capital of Culture.
From 20 June, when dozens of unconventional vessels set sail on the Váh river as part of Splanekor, until the end of summer, you can look forward to concerts, theatre, visual arts and events for the whole family. Culture will be all around you — from the castle to the city’s hidden corners.
