Banská Bystrica: A City Saved From the Plague

Hi All,


We left Budapest early in the morning to head to Krakow. We stopped for lunch in a little town in Slovakia named Banska Bystrica. During the black plague, a miracle happened and most of the towns residents were saved because they prayed in the square next to the church frequently.

It was nice to be able to eat in a “small” town. The place we ate at did not have menus in English, so we ordered by looking at pictures and randomly pointing. I had potatoes and a cheese platter. It was so cheap – only €6!
