Liptov is a traditional (historical) region in northern Slovakia that was once covered by the Liptó county of Hungary.
The territory largely corresponds to the Ružomberok District and Liptovský Mikuláš District in northern Slovakia. Three villages (Liptovská Teplička, Štrba and Štrbské Pleso) are now in the Poprad District. The river Váh flows through the middle of the region. The region is bounded by numerous mountain ranges, for example Veľká Fatra in the west, Tatra mountains in the north and Low Tatra in the south.
The capitals of the region were the Liptov Castle and the villages of Liptovská Mara and Partizánska Ľupča since 1677 the capital was Liptovský Mikuláš.
The territory of the former county arose before the 15th century. In 1918, Liptov became part of Czechoslovakia. During World War II, when Czechoslovakia was split temporarily, Liptov was part of independent Slovakia. After World War II Liptov region was in Czechoslovakia again. In 1993, Czechoslovakia was split and Liptov became part of Slovakia. Nowadays, it is one of the 21 official Slovakia's tourism regions (excluding 3 villages in the Poprad District).
