💡 Good to know for this plan

~16 hours of daylight in June.
Spiš Castle's bare hilltop is kindest out of the summer glare, and Levoča's Master Paul altar — the world's tallest Gothic one — stands in cool, quiet limewood.
Light day: day 3 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.

Check any castle interior, museum or performance separately.
Spiš Castle interior access is seasonal and weather-dependent; the year-round baseline uses public exterior and cultural-landscape context.
