poprad p mus: neon nights and cheap dumplings

the air hit me the second i stepped off the train, it was *crisp and cold like a fresh slice of poprad winter. i just checked and it's kinda sharp, hope you like that bite. if the buzz gets stale, the nearby towns pop up in like an hour's ride. someone told me that the old clock tower glows at midnight, but i heard that it's just a rumor. grab a plate of bryndzovĂ© haluĆĄky before the night market shuts down, they say it's the only way to feel the city’s pulse.

i wandered down main street, eyes glued to graffiti that seemed to whisper secrets. some locals swear the best coffee is at that tiny spot near the river, but i heard that it's actually a front for a secret jazz jam. tripadvisor | yelp | local board someone told me that the hilltop view is worth the hike, but i’m not sure if i’m brave enough for the trek. if you get bored, the nearby towns pop up in like an hour's ride. Pro tip: bring a coat*; the wind loves to sneak in at dusk.
