Slovakia: 10 Shocks of Visiting Slovakia 

As a Slovak person watching this, I have a smile on my face through whole video. Thank you very much for appreciation of our small country. :)

Greetings to our Slavic brothers in Slovakia from Croatia

I love Slovakia, I am originally from South Africa and moved here in October 2020, I have recently started a channel showing my adventures in Slovakia 🇸🇰 to hopefully show people how amazing it is here!

So true! Slovakia is beautiful and culturally interesting and the Slovaks themselves are the best hosts. Super friendly, helpful and a great plus is that they're very attractive 😁 One of my really big surprises was the discovery of so many local wines of high quality! And I'm used to good wine, I'm a French national after all... See you next time Slovakia 🇸🇰 ❤

Słowacja jest fajna i ładna. Ludzie bardzo fajni i przyjaźni. Jak jestem na Słowacji zawsze mi się podoba. Oby jak najszybciej skończył się ten wirus i wojna na Ukrainie aby można było normalnie podróżować i cieszyć się życiem. Pozdrawiam cudownych Słowaków z Polski. 💖

As a Czech living in Australia, I miss my old country and also Slovakia. I will never forget our trips to the High Tatras, and as young kids to the Low Tatras and Malá Fatra. Wonderful people, love the castles, so much tradition and rich culture, stunning nature. Thank you for showing the beautiful country of our Slovak brothers.

This country is on my travel bucket list. My wife's family is from Nový Salaš.

Came to Slovakia 11 years ago on a visit.. So good came back every year and now own a house here at the foot of the High Tatra's. It's amazing here.

Pekné video . Som rád že niekto takto pekne odprezentoval slovensko . Moju rodnú zem .////// Nice video . I am glad that someone presented Slovakia in such a nice way. My homeland.

you speak about my country most pleasant way I have ever heard...and I am glad, that you feel well here

We've been four times skiing in Slovakia whe I was a teenager. A Slovak tought me, my little brother an my dad how to ski and his patience was unshakable. Everytime we were there, slovaks made an impression that they're very polite, very eager to help and please you while being very friendly and humble. Nothing but great memories and love for this country! Halusky ftw.!

Slovak girl here and I'm just SO HAPPY to see and hear someone talking good about us. I love this video and I also hope there will be more tourists some day. We, Slovaks, may seem to be mean, but it's just face, ok? :D We are mostly too fun, too friendly, we love to help if we can, we will gladly miss our bus home to show you around. You just need to be brave enough to talk to us! Yes, that's true that older people don't speak english too much, but you may be lucky with Hungarian or Russian (older people!; younger people don't speak these two often). Spišský hrad or "Spiš castle" is not that hard to say, actually! Beside our " ô ", each of letters is easy to say in English. " Š " in Spiš is literally the same as "sh" in show. If you want, it would be just "Spish castle", haha! With Czechoslovakia... we're parted for some time now, but we're not that offended much when someone calls us "Czechoslovakia". It hurts more when someone calls us "Slovenia". I don't mean it in a bad way at all! But as you said, with Czechs, we are just like brothers. Czechoslovakia was our shared country. There's still our legacy in that. But Slovenia... they are totally different nation, you know? And as I am from Košice (eastern Slovakia) I just want to say... Bratislava is not the only city in here, pf. There are in the end nicer and more beautiful places around Slovakia than Bratislava is (Košice for example!). Don't take just one hour from Vienna to visit Bratislava. Instead, come travel around our whole country, beside our capital city, and you'll see for yourself. Our country is not boring at all. We may not have big cities as Prague, Vienna or Budapest are, but I swear, we are much funnier here and have A LOT of stuff to show you that you won't even have enough time to see them all at once. Love you, come visit! 💖

My best friend at work for years was a Slovakian dude named Laco. He moved from Trnava to Ireland and worked in the Telecoms industry over here. He taught me everything I knew and I have to say, the Slovakian people are some of the most humble and hard-working people on the planet.

I have never seen anyone talk about Slovakia like this. So much enthusiasm ❤️🍀✊🏻 Thank you 🙂

Slovakia is incredible, friendly people & it is beautiful and indeed there are castles (mostly ruins) all over. Banská Štiavnica is a standout, unique history and gorgeous ... especially in the fall.

Been living here for over 7 years. My wifes home country. Love it here.

I come from Slovakia and my husband is from Haiti, this is the first time i see so beautifull video and speach about my country. Thank you so much for your nice words. 🙂👍❤️

I travel all around eastern Europe, and Bratislava is one of my absolute favorite cities. Everything you said about Slovakia and slovaks is correct! Very friendly people!

I spent a month in Slovakia, a week in Bratislava the rest of the time in a little town about 2 hours north- I enjoyed the time there entirely! Everyone was so kind and caring, and tried to help out in any way they could. Can't wait to visit again this summer!

I spent a few days in Bratislava in 2017 and LOVED it! We drove through the country in the evening and gasped at all the castles lit up on the hillsides. So many of them! Since it has been a few years, I can't remember exactly why I felt that Slovakia was so American-friendly, but it did feel that way. I suppose it was the people there. The first evening we checked into our beautiful white-washed stone hotel in Bratislava, I flipped on the TV and was shocked to see Twin Peaks playing. Episode after episode :) Someone at the Slovak TV station has a sense of humor!

One of my favorite countries in the world

Was there 15 years back. Was absolutely brilliant. Beautiful country with great food and drink. Great slow pace of life. Well worth a visit

Slovakia could be an amazing place to visit. I totally suggest to visit the Tatras mountains. They're absolutely a dream for people into trekking and hiking. I just put a video about that. Nice video man!

Slovakia🇸🇰 ♥️ Slovenia🇸🇮

Slovakia is crazy beautiful! That's crazy that this country isn't a popular tourist destination! The country looks stunning to visit! Also, I hear the food is INSANELY good, and your video shows that it is. I hope to make plenty of friends when I go out to Slovakia. I love FOLK history, and I want to experience all of that. I can't wait to see the nature out there as I am sure you would agree that your video doesn't do it justice!. The cheese looks very interesting. It might be stinky, but it looks very delicious. I love history, so the castles will be a dream to visit in the country. When do you think it is the best time to visit? Thank you, Mark!

My family is from Slovakia and I’ve always wanted to go visit. Thanks for the Slovakia love and all the cool information!!

I'm czech, I really love your enthusiasm, we love our brothers!

My grandparents were from Slovakia... they came from Poráč. I cannot wait to visit this beautiful land of my ancestors and eat all that awesome Slovak food. 😅

Thank you for this beautiful promotion of Slovakia - my homeland. I appreciate you talking about it in such a nice way. I would encourage everyone who visits SVK to see our natural heritage and don’t forget to visit old remote villages and scenic viewpoints. Enjoy.

Slovaks are Slavs and Slavs are hospitable people! Love from Serbia to Slovak brothers!

Planning on visiting Poland and Slovakia this October! Two beautiful looking countries! As an outdoorsy person, Slovakia looks like heaven! 😍

Glad you like our little country 😉 Cheers from Slovakia 🇸🇰

Beautiful Country, Genuine People, BEST Folklore - Slovakia is where the Party is at!!! 🇸🇰🇺🇸🇸🇰

Slovensko je krásne. Moc rádi tam jezdíme . Mam rada i Slováky už, pro tu jejich větší hrdost.. Už jsme byli snad všude, mimo úplný východ .Nevím proč by měli být turisti v šoku, že je to na Slovensku cool a hezké. Stačí, aby západ nepohlizel na střední Evropu jako na země kde lezeme po stromech a nic tu nemáme. Zdravím bratry Slováky a snad konečně letos zajedeme .😄😄😄 A jen moje úvaha: neměli jsme se dělit. Mohlo by být zase Československo. Jen můj názor,možná ho někdo nesdílí . No, pitomý politiky máme obě země, tak když nic , tak bysme měli aspoň jedny pitomý společně 😄😄😄❤

my mom was born in bratislava. i love the country very much, many of my mother's relatives live there. she came from a small village at the foot of the high tatras

This makes me so happy as a Slovak : ) Beautiful thank you

Loving all these Slovakia videos! Such wonderful prep for our trip in August!

Nice 👍 Greetings from Slovenia ✌️🇸🇮

Thank you so so much....I am Slovakian and your video just melt my heart 😍😍😍😍

I would love to visit Slovakia

Thank you for presenting my beautiful country Slovakia.

My grandfather was as born in Zborov in the north east of the then Czechoslovakia. I was the first of his descendants (from Australia) to travel there. I went via train from Bratislava to Bardejov (beautiful medieval town also a UNESCO site). It’s really a hidden gem of the country. I have now been to Bardejov/Zborov twice, last time I drove there from Prague and the countryside is absolutely beautiful 😍

Its is now on the list for next summer

Thank you for your kind words and for appreciating our beautiful country.

I go to capital almost every single day because of school and heard the spiel about the castles and nature like hundred times , but I never get tired of the wonder and enthusiasm foreigners display in their videos either in their travelling videos or tasting Slovak sweets fans send them. It always fixes my attitute towards this country and gives me hope.

Thank you for the kind words and showing the bright side of my country. 👍

Slovakia Nature, here I come!

thanks for nice words about my country :)

This was a great review. We plan to be there in May. Visiting Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, and Czech Republic. And we understand the name think. Have explained “West Virginia is a different state from Virginia” all my life. Thanks for the travel tips.

Actually, it's almost 30 years since the CZSK breakup! Crazy how the time flies

Thank you, Wolter, so nice to have you visit my home city, Kosice, and I really hope you enjoyed the food and people. Very lovely way you talk about our people, they need to open up a bit more to the visitors. The language is often the barrier. I do love your videos. Awesome work!

Next stop i recomend Slovak paradise and Košice. Please do a video about Košice. Its smaller then Bratislava but the historic center you need to see.

I'm Czech but my life is in Canada. I have lot of Slovakia great friends and the country is gorgeous....thank you 😊

Your so RIGHT :) i lived theremand had the time of mynlife there! Its a therapy to live there! Fresh air,beautiful people

As an American of Slovak descent, with family in Slovakia, you're spot on. Slovakia is a great destination with a lot to offer, and great people.

Nice video. I am Slovak and I would agree with everything you said.

Honestly, thank you for presenting Slovakia in a very positive perspective. There are really a lot of nice places in the Slovakia which they are really interesting and frightening as well, but after all it's still a well-balanced trip 😂. Your video is really good. Thank you once again. Pozdravujem zo Žiliny 👋

Thank you for this awesome video!!👏

Thank you to say such a nice words about my country and city. Hope you will enjoy it here all time time you visit us :)

hiii I am from Slovak, thanks for this video

Thanks for speaking about my country in a very positive way. And yes, it is a great country, so it is a shame that many people only talk about Prag when Slovakia is also beautiful. And yes, Slovakia is not in Eastern Europe. Exactly!!! I like your video

Thank you for another exciting and informative video!!👌👌😍 I enjoyed learning about Slavakia through you! Stay safe, healthy and blessed!! Greetings from Barcelona! 👍☺️

Thank you. I always appreciate your videos.

Dude! What a lovely words about us and our country! :) Thanks a lot and I hope you come here more often

Yes Slovakia is beautifully country, thank you for presentation of my country

Hello Wolter, many thanks for nice words about my country. Mária from Bratislava

Wow I didn't know non of that. Learned something new. I may look into trying to do a 3 or 4 day trip there. someday.

Thanks for this video and for your lovely words about our beloved homeland. 😉👍👏

I'm really glad that you have a wonderful experience in my home country. ☺ Awesome video by the way, and I'm grateful for such a wonderful presentation of our country. 🙏 Wish you and your family all the best!

Loved this video! Thank you!

Thank you Mark for a nice portrait of my homeland. It made my day. I liked that you distinguished between a cheap country and an affordable country. Yes, 20-30 years ago, Slovakia was a cheap country for many tourists and later it became affordable. (Unfortunately, for the majority of locals it is a very expensive country when you consider that they have to live on their low salaries (3.71€ per hour, 646€ per month - brutto, 2022). We 'joke' that Slovakia is the country of miracles as it is a real miracle to survive there. Many people do their shopping in Hungary, Austria or Poland as it is cheaper.)

Hi Wolter, have been watching and really enjoying your videos. Glad you made it to my home country!

Great video as Slovak person I am gratefull someone apreciate also us. Thanks mate.

My partner is slovakian and I love the country 😍 I love the nature, the weather, the food and beautiful Tatry ❤️ People are nice and kind and I cant wait to move to live there ❤️

Thank you so much. Slovakia is a beautiful country with incredible people. I am a Slovak who’s been living in USA for a very long time now. I appreciate this video so much! Love your heart and passion in this video.

Thank you very much. Watching your video I had a mix of smile and happy tears. I love my country. Being married to a US husband, we never thought to move to the US and always wanted to stay in Slovakia. We live in Bratislava and my US husband loves it here. 🙂

You seem very genuine the way you talk about all the countries that you've visited. I'm so happy that you spared a few minutes and presented my country on your channel. I'm glad that you had a blast. You are an awesome reviewer and you've earned a new subscriber. Cheers

Lots of love from Slovakia. Your video just made my day. :)

Thank you for great opinion and recommendations about my home country:)

Thanks for doing so lovely PR videos for us 😀

Lovely video! Thank you for all the love and appreciation you showed, all the stuff you presented, it was beautiful :) Hope you get to visit again!

Thank you for having nice time in my country :). Also thank you for you honest review I love it.

Thank you Mr Wolter, great video. I have to say thanks again for calling the people "Slovaks", I am of Slovak heritage (live in Canada) and it always bothers me when people use the term "Slovakian". Small thing, but a bother. Again, great vid!

Thanks for the new video Mark! I've wanted to visit Slovakia for years. Also I've never been this early to one of your videos!

Nice video, thank you for talking about Slovakia. Beautiful place to visit.

Thank you for advertising my beloved hometown.

Love it, especially about Czechoslovakia - Slovakia and Eastern - Central !

Thank you so much it's amazing to hear so many nice things about our country 🥰

My Slovakian heart was smiling watching this video, thank you! This winter, we are finally going back for Christmas after long four years and bringing along my Australian mother in law, oh, she will love it! Can't wait :)

Thank you for visiting Bratislava….

thank you for this nice video about my country! ♥

Your video on '10 Shocks of Visiting Slovakia' is quite eye-opening! It's fascinating to learn about the unique aspects and cultural differences that can surprise visitors to Slovakia. Experiencing new perspectives and embracing diversity is what makes traveling so enriching. Thanks for sharing these insights and helping us broaden our understanding of Slovakia. Keep up the great work of promoting intercultural exploration!

Awesome review man. Very honest and passionate.

Love this video that you did. It’s a nice introduction and tour guide of Slovakia but Czech Republic and Slovak Republic separated in 1992 so it’s gone by 30 years 😬😅

Great tips and information.

Dakujeme za pekne odprezentovanie :)

On this summers travel so excited to add to places to have seen

You have such a lovely energy! Thank you for your video 😃🤗

Aaaw this is very nice put everything….many many thanks 🙏😊

Thank you, you made my day. I love my country as well 😁
