Trebišov
Skip unless you need a base for the Tokaj wine region or the Zemplín hills: half a day for the museum and mausoleum, then move on.
Trebišov is a small eastern Slovak town with a baroque-classical castle housing the Regional Museum, a mausoleum by a pond, and a ruined medieval castle. It sits near the Tokaj wine region and the Zemplín hills, but most travellers pass through on the way to Košice or Ukraine.
