Domica Cave

The cave itself is really beautiful and impressive. However, everything else is a joke! Parking is 5€ (you spend approximately 1h there…). They seem to think that this is a metropolis rather than a cave in the middle of nowhere..

I visited in high season and still tours only took place once per hour even though there were clearly enough people to offer a tour every 30 mins (max!). As there’s only one tour per hour, I walked through the cave with 80 other people. The two boats, however, only have a capacity of ~40 people so you spend about 20 mins just standing in one spot of the cave to wait your turn.

Entrance for adults incl. the boat ride is 12€ (10€ without) and then they wanna charge 7€ (!!!) for a photo permission. I’ve never seen anything like this. 7€ to be allowed to take pictures with your phone is ridiculous.

The whole tour is only in Slovakian. All the guides speak English but will not tell you a single word in English. You are given a paper with supposedly all the information at the entrance and then need to figure out yourself where you are because the guides do not even mention that in English. Also, the small paper does not really offer much information. Are guest from outside of Slovakia not welcome? Do we not pay the same price?

Poor experience..
