How to recognise Slovakia from the road
Drives on the right
Mountains, forests and villages with steep roofs. Slovak looks close to Czech, but has letters of its own.
What to look for
1
Slovak letters
Look for ä, ô, ľ, ĺ and ŕ, which Czech does not use.
2
Mountains in the north
The High Tatras and other ranges cover much of the north and centre.
3
One blue band
Plates are white with the blue EU band on the left.
