Religiosity and the phenomenon of pilgrimage connected with it, as well as its visualization are strongly fixed in Slovakia. Four decades (1948 – 1989) of political regime did not manage to erase them from the perception of local citizens. Existence of more than 140 pilgrimage centres of different hierarchy level confirms this fact. These nowadays belong with different level of success among centres of pilgrimage. The aim of the article is to evaluate the thematically relevant literature and differences between pilgrimage tourism and religious tourism. In the application part we are oriented on identification, spatial differentiation and typology of catholic pilgrimage centres. Special attention is dedicated to pilgrimage centres with Cyril and Methodius tradition, which together with national Marian pilgrimage sites belong to the most promising pilgrimage sites in the field of religious tourism development in Slovakia.
