- Múzeum slovenskej dediny (Museum of the Slovak Village) — A lovely open-air museum in Jahodnícke háje where you can walk through authentic timber cottages, farm buildings and see traditional crafts and seasonal folk events. Feels like stepping into 19th-century rural Slovakia.
- Matica slovenská — The institution that helped shape modern Slovak identity; the historic building houses exhibitions, a reading room and archival displays about the language and national revival. Worth seeing for the atmosphere and the library interiors.
- Národný cintorín (National Cemetery) — A quiet, meaningful place where many of Slovakia’s writers, politicians and cultural figures are buried. It’s part history lesson, part reflective walk with well-kept monuments and views over the town.
- Galéria Miloša Alexandra

- Galéria Miloša Alexandra Bazovského (M.A. Bazovský Gallery) — One of Slovakia’s notable modern art galleries, with strong collections of 20th-century Slovak painting and frequent temporary shows. Small but punchy if you care about visual culture.
- Turčianske múzeum — The regional museum for the Turiec area: archaeology, ethnography and local history exhibits that explain how people here lived, worked and celebrated across the centuries. Very practical if you want regional context.
- Múzeum slovenskej literatúry (Museum of Slovak Literature) — Focused displays on Slovak authors, manuscripts and the literary movements that grew in Martin. Reading manuscripts up close and learning about local writers makes Slovak literature feel tangible.
- Divadlo Jozefa Gregora Tajovského (J. G. Tajovský Theatre) — Historic regional theatre with a lively program of plays and performances. Even if you don’t catch a show, the building and the theatre scene tell you a lot about Martin’s cultural pulse.
- Rímskokatolícky kostol sv. Martina (St. Martin’s Roman Catholic Church) — The city’s namesake church, notable for its architecture and interior details. It’s an easy stop for history, quiet contemplation, and local religious art.
- Evangelický kostol (Evangelical Church) — A central landmark tied to Martin’s 19th-century cultural and national revival; the church’s interior and its role in public life make it more than just an architectural stop.
- Námestie SNP and the old town centre — The pedestrian heart of Martin: cafés, statues, small shops and passing markets. Great for people-watching, spotting memorials to Slovak cultural figures, and feeling how locals live their city.
