Tips and Notes to walking tour in Banska Bystrica:

1.    Najlepší deň na návštevu: V pracovné dni pred poludním alebo v sobotu ráno. Nedele sú tiché, veľa obchodov je zatvorených. Nebuďte prekvapení, keď narazíte na miestnych obyvateľov, ktorí sa v nedeľu radi prechádzajú po námestí. A nezabudnite, že mnoho múzeí je v pondelok zatvorených. (Best day to visit? Weekdays before the noon or Saturday mornings. Sundays are quiet, many shops are closed. Don't be surprised running into locals who like strolling up and down the square on Sundays. And remember, many museums are close on Mondays.)

2.    Jazyk: Väčšina nápisov je v slovenčine, ale múzeá ponúkajú popisy v angličtine a nemčine. (Language: Most signs are in Slovak, but museums offer English and German descriptions.)

3.    Toalety a bankomaty: K dispozícii v nákupnom centre Europa a v blízkosti, alebo na námestí. (Restrooms and ATMs: Available inside Europa Shopping Center and near or on the square.)

4. Suveníry: Hľadajte knihy, ručne vyrobené remeselné výrobky alebo medené predmety – pripomienka baníckej histórie mesta. (Souvenirs: Look for books, handmade crafts, or copper items — a nod to the city’s mining history.)
