After arriving to Košice, a city walk would be the first thing we organize! Everybody coming to Košice is astonished by the city centre! Especially by the wide and long Hlavna (Main) Street surrounded by merchant houses and palaces with central „island“, where you can find 3 marvellous buildings – St. Michael Chapel, St. Elisabeth Cathedral and State Theatre.

4 A city breathing with creativity The title of European Capital Of Culture 2013 has given the city and its people opportunities to realize their ideas, thoughts, to open and to communicate, to present themselves, thus bringing transformation to the city through culture. Number of international events, as well as ever growing creative communities confirm, that Kosice has and will have its stable place on the creative map of Europe.

2 Memories of Jewish History One category of monuments in Kosice carries a significantly strong story itself. Before holocaust, Kosice was a city with one of the largest and most prominent jewish communities in the area of today’s Slovakia. In 1944, it took less then a month to transport almost the whole community to the concentration camps. The synagogues, schools and places to worship have remained, and they now create an inseparable part of the city’s atmosphere and their visitation will provide those willing to explore the city more on the city walk „The Jewish Košice“ with an unforgettable experience. 3 True people, true city, true story Kosice is a city which does not have to pretend to be something. It has gone through centuries of breath taking history, stories and legends, as well as the times, when the face of the city was rapidly changing with its growing settlements as a manifestation of socialistic realism. It now lives for today – changes in modern way and looks up to the future, to the potential of creativity, which is giving it today already a new different look and atmosphere. This multicultural city is nowadays definetely welcoming and safe with great stories you can hear gathering with locals.

TESTIMONIALS DON‘T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT… “All-in-all, it has been a great conference which has set an extraordinary standard for an international meeting, both in terms of the scientific level, its information value, and interactions within a pleasant atmosphere. These and numerous further examples (e.g. delicious cuisine provided during meals and coffee breaks) bear witness of excellent organization, for which I wish to express my sincere thanks and congratulations.”

“Despite having so many participants, the planned scientific content has been in much details and at the same time, covers most aspects of interest on the topic. It has been a great opportunity for me to meet fellow scientists with similar interests and directions. Other than the science, the organizers have also planned the event very well, ranging from the warm receptions to the unique conference dinner that were held underground!”

Prof. Wilhelm Holzapfel Handong Global University South-Korea

Min-Tze Liong Universiti Sains Malaysia

The conference dinner held in Dolna Brana (Lower Gate; Kosice, Slovakia) was truly a unique experience and allowed not only for networking, but also the exploration of the original gate¬way to the city, which included an intricate system of medieval fortifications and town walls dating back to the 13th Century. The next conference will be held in 2012 in the same venue (Košice) and promises to be an even greater success.“ Karen Madsen University of Alberta Canada

“The sixth IPC was held in Košice; a nicely restored medieval city in eastern Slovakia. From being a Eastern-European-dominated probiotics conference in the year 2000, IPC has grown over the years into a truly international conference, mainly on probiotics, but also increasingly prebiotics and the intestinal microbiota. A well-organized meeting with contributions from participants from all continents.”

“I would like to thank you for an excellent organization of the conference. Selections of the topics, invited speakers, rich scientific program are only one side of this very good meeting. I would like to thank you for perfect choice of the venue and the rich cultural program as well, and to all friendliest personal of the Organizer for their help to fell like at home.“ Dr. Svetoslav Todorov University of Stellenbosch South Africa

“With regard to organization, this was the best congress I ever attended! Also the scientific contents was outstanding, and I had the chance to talk to leading experts in the field of food supplements. Anyway, I had the chance to establish new cooperations with other countries and lead plentiful discussions. I would like to attend the meeting again next time!” i. V. Armin Schreiner Ardeypharm GmbH Germany

Arthur C. Ouwehand Health & Nutrition Danisco, Finland

“The conference was well attended and it was great to see people who might not normally have an opportunity to attend and present at conferences in North America and Western Europe. The hosts were welcoming and very friendly. The award for young scientist was an excellent concept that highlighted talented new investigators entering the field.”

“The scenic beauty of Slovakia was fascinating. I was really overwhelmed to have discussion with so many gigantic personalities. It was overhauling experience for the researchers like me. Your team has managed all the things in a most proper way which made our stay very comfortable.” Dr. Bhushan L. Chaudhari North Maharashtra University India

Before building the town hall in its current place, there were probably two standing Gothic bourgeois houses. The Town Hall was built according to plans by an architect from Bratislava named J. Langer during 1779–1780. The capital repair was carried out in the 80s of the 19th century. This changed its style in the southern part of the building and extended the court wings. This part has currently obtained corresponding paint decorations. The building underwent several repairs in the 19th century, especially on the surface of the walls. The paintings on the surface of the walls were also renovated and restored. In 1995, when the building has already served the last 50 years as a library, city council decided that the historic Town Hall would serve its purpose once again. In the years 1997–1999, this historic building has undergone complete reconstruction. Historic Town Hall building is owned by the City of Kosice and in the competence of the Administration of the Property of Kosice, s. r. o. After the reconstruction in 1997, it is used for representative purposes by the mayor of Kosice.

Adolf Lang – author of the theatre, is denoted by history as one of the most talented European architects of 19th century. The building of the State Theatre is his masterpiece. Its perfection gives the impression that it was literally dreamed up by this gifted artist. The theatre is built in the style of eclecticism with elements of Neo-baroque and Art Nouveau. It deserves to be considered an architectural jewel which is recognized and admired by experts throughout Europe. The exterior of the theatre is the pride of the town; the interior provides the visitors with the atmosphere of warmth, splendour and luxury. In this architecture, functionality and purpose meet in perfect symbiosis with the architectural beauty.

The Technical University of Košice was founded in 1952, but its roots must be sought much deeper in the past. As early as in1657, the Universitas Cassoviensis was established in Košice, but technical education in Slovakia was only elevated to higher level in 1762, when the Austro-Hungarian monarch Maria Theresa established the Mining Academy in BanskáŠtiavnica. This academy provided education and promoted research activity in a group of scientific disciplines ranging from ore mining through to production and processing of metal materials.

The shape of the House of Arts recalls the legendary Roman Pantheon. In the former synagogue hall, the acoustics is so great that the Philharmonic Orchestra plays there even without an audience, for example when recording CDs. In this hall, the last modification was made in 1977, when the most modern concert organ in Czechoslovakia of those times was installed there.

The Jewish Košice Since 1840, Košice had become home to one of the largest and most prominent Jewish communities in Slovakia. Their rich communal life was destroyed in 1944, when almost all Jewish citizens of Kosice were deported to Auschwitz. Today, the Jewish community has only about 280 members. The city has numerous Jewish heritage sites, including a large Jewish cemetery, which is still in use. Four out of the five major synagogues that operated here before the War also still stand. By their beauty, atmosphere and uniqueness, the Jewish monuments make this tour a truly unique experience.

The tour will follow his footsteps that Márai managed to breathe into his books. A visit of his memorial room at the house in the Mäsiarska Street where Márai lived as a child is included. Given that his books have been translated into more than 40 languages and he raised the profile of the town more than any other native of Košice, this tour will provide you with the great chance to learn interesting things about him and breathe real old town atmosphere to your visit.
