Žilina

Understand

Zilina is 4th largest town in Slovakia.

Recently there was a large investment from Kia Motors Company in Zilina. By mid 2007, Kia expect to be producing 300 000 units per year! A large automobile factory is being build in a nearby area and a lot of Kia employees from Korea have moved to Zilina. Because of this, you can find specialized Korean food sections in some larger supermarkets and some Korean restaurants.

Zilina is an important transport junction point linking south Bratislava, Vienna with north Krakow, Warsaw and east Kosice, Ukraine with west Ostrava, Prague.
