In many photos from Kosice, you could see a statue of an old man in the middle of the street. It is a monument to Júliusa Jakoby, a Hungarian artist who called Kosice his home. The statue attracts many visitors and is a trendy Instagram spot in Kosice.

An abundance of tourists has not yet spoiled Kosice, so locals speak very little English here. Get ready to use the translator on your smartphone in restaurants, hotels, and so on. Still, if you know any of the Slavic languages, Slovakian may sound familiar to you.

In the vicinity of Kosice, small farms produce a special type of smoked sheep cheese called oscypek. You can try it in any restaurant as a snack or buy it on the market. A variety of dairy products (cottage cheese, feta cheese, etc.) are generally very popular in local venues.
