Považie rich in castles and chateaus

It would be hard to find a region in Slovakia where there are more castles, chateaux or castle ruins than in the Považie region.

Organised events

The traditional opening of the summer season is a celebration with a rich cultural programme called Opening of the Summer Spa Season. It has been held annually during the first weekend in June since 1992.

In June, there is also a multi-day show of historic vehicles called Piešt'any's Golden Ribbons, which you should definitely not miss during your stay at the Park Hotel.

Until recently, Piešt'any Airport was known for organising large events. However, with increasing interest in air stays, one of the most famous festivals in Piešt'any – Grape – has to search for a new home. On the contrary, Piešt'any Airport should become a traditional home of the Aviation Festival of Piešt'any, the first year of which was held in 2019.

In addition to the Grape Festival, other music festivals with national and international significance such as Topfest or Lodenica are held in Piešt'any every year.

Film connoisseurs will also find something to their liking in Piešt'any. The Cinametik International Film Festival is held here every year.
