What to do when it rains
Raindrops on the window? There are plenty of indoor spots in the region to fill your day — from mining museums to mirror illusions.
All times in the programme are indicative recommendations. Check opening hours, admission and connections in the official sources before visiting.
Rain in Štiavnica is no reason to be sad — the city has more to offer under cover than you might expect. Combine your day according to your taste.
Morning — near the house
Tour of the manor house and Hunting Museum (approx. 1.5–2 hours, recommended) — an indoor exhibition right next to Soví dom, a 5-minute walk away.
Transport: by car to Banská Štiavnica (approx. 4 km, 10-minute drive).

Soví dom
Stay right here with us
Svätý Anton Manor and Banská Štiavnica are within easy reach of Soví dom. Choose an apartment or the whole house for yourself.
View accommodationAfternoon — museums in the city
Choose from: The Old Castle, The New Castle or Kammerhof with its mining and minting exhibition (each 45–120 minutes, recommended). Lunch in the city — cafes and restaurants are independent establishments; see the dining section for an overview.
After lunch, choose smaller indoor stops as you like: City Model (20–40 minutes), Julo Binder Gallery, Infinitórium with mirror illusions or Time Travel — mining history in an entertaining way.
Evening
Return to Soví dom. A peaceful evening with tea or wine — if you are interested in the historic cellar directly in the house, please arrange its use and any additional services individually.
More tips for a rainy day
Concordia Theatre if there is a performance on, and the city game Štiavnica City Game — this can also be played in light rain.
