List of cities and towns in Slovakia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of towns and cities in Slovakia, called mestá (singular mesto) in Slovak. A municipality can be granted the special status of a town (mesto) by the government, provided it meets certain conditions: a population of over 5,000, good accessibility, cultural or economic significance, and an urban character of the settlement.

As of 2026, Slovakia has 2,890 municipalities, of which 141 hold town status. For German and Hungarian names of these towns, see list of German exonyms for places in Slovakia and list of Hungarian exonyms for places in Slovakia.
