What 10 Best Places to Visit in Europe? 

Hey Honest Guide! I'm an American that actually lived in Brno, Czech Republic, for 10 years. Everytime I bring up Czech Republic to any of my American friends, I always suggest Brno over Prague if they have the time. You're right about everything on Brno, although it has been getting a little bit more touristy in the past few years. You definitely will hear not only Czech be spoken. A lot of English, Romanian, Slovak, Russian, etc.

Yes, a video of the two of you talking about your favorite travels in a coffee shop would be awesome.

WE LOVED THIS EPISODE… Yes, more episodes like this episode, guys. Also, more Honza on camera, as well!!! 🇪🇺🏰🍕☕️✈️😁

PPPPeter: "Europe is boring" Honest Guides :"Europe is amazing." I agree with you guys, every european country is unique, and offers something for everybody.

I’d absolutely love to see another video like this bout other European destinations! It’d be great to also hear about destinations that you both think are even better to visit in the shoulder seasons (late Fall/Winter/early Spring)

Yes please! I would love to see more content of this sort. As a long term fan of your channel, and frequent traveler, I value your and Honza’s opinions!

Yes please, more like this guys, have a great start into the new week, cheers 🙏🏻

6:28 That road in Albania is called "Leqet e Hotit"

Loved this episode! I’m from Australia and it’s great to learn about ‘off the beaten track’ places in Europe! I’ve added a lot of new ones to my list from this video 😊

Great video. Very insightful. Nice to see different places to go which are off the beaten track. Well done.

9:28 Gatzelugatxe is actually in the language of the basque region :) which is itself it's pretty ancient and not related to latin. Anyway i went there 2 years ago, it's really magnificient, but it also very tiring :)

Great video guys always a pleasure to watch your videos !

Nice video, we NEED much more of this content! ❤

Loved these episodes ❤️

Loved this episode! Always great to see Honza make an appearance! 😊

I am actually happy to see Honza on the video talking. Good job Honza. you did great job! Fan of two of yours Jamshid :)

I like this episode a lot - please do more like it! GPS coordinates are always good, even around Prague!

Hi Honza, nice to see you :)

Yes, love this episode, love Europe, please do more!

I loved this episode! Thank you fellows!

I was in Brno 2 years ago and it was awesome. Can really recommend and it is also a great plave for cycling (e.g. the Eurovelo)

Loved this episode! I’m from Australia and it’s great to learn about ‘off the beaten track’ places in Europe! I’ve added a lot of new ones to my list from this video

Super epizoda, kluci! 👍 Chybi nam Honzovy vlogy z cestovani 🥲

Great episode!

Best and most honest video on youtube! Great Jobs!!! The world need more honest people like you!!👍

Thanks for showing us so many awesome places across Europe!

Enjoyed hearing from Honza. Thanks to you both.

Amazing episode!

amazing to see Honza on cam! btw Gaztelugatxe Doniene is basque, not spanish. I couldn't pronounce it either haha

Thanks for sharing all this amazing places.

Awesome video. I Appreciate awesome the content y'all put out.

Instant like for more Honza on camera! Great recommendations both of you ❤️

I love this video already! You have great taste 👏🏽

I absolutely loved this video and will definitely be using these recommendations in the coming years :D

Loved it! And would like to see more of this kind of videos!

Wonderful videos! We are going to Czech Republic next week for our son’s wedding in Semily! Looking forward to a few days in Prague but you’ve given some great other places to visit! Thank you!!

Loved this ❤

I am going to Prague next month! You are the cause!!

In Brno, they certainly have a castle and cathedral, but also giant black phalus pretending to be an astronomical clock!

Great stuff dudes!

i love these kind of episodes do make more :)

With Brno you have to mention the amazing 20 century architecture 👍

LOVED this episode! Please keep making this kind of episode! People in Europe like you guys are soooo lucky because traveling to different countries is easier. - from a jealous Japanese stuck in a country surrounded by the sea, faaaaarrr away from the beautiful European countries... “this was janek, oh no!” - quite sure that you gained at least 100 fans for that cuteness!😂

Historical Banat (which very briefly existed as an independent country right after WWI) is a region currently divided between Hungary, Romania and Serbia. There are many such examples in Europe. I certainly hope that it serves as a bridge between those three countries. BTW, kudos for pronouncing Cres and Rijeka perfectly.

It's good to know there are other people in this world who don't watch Game of Thrones. I gave it a shot, watched one episode, didn't like it, gave it another chance, watched a second one, still didn't like it. This being said, I loved both Prague and Brno, and I look forward to visiting again sometime.

Love it! Make a Top 50. 🙂

Great Great content

Love seeing Honza on cam

This was a very interesting video, I put off watching it for 3 days because I subscribed to your channel for more information on Prague (originally) and the rest of the Czech Republic (when you started going further afield). This was wonderful and I think the only countries I have visited that you covered were Austria (many times) and the Italian Dolomites (only once). I look forward to visiting Denmark, Croatia and Iceland in the future but I fear I'm now too old!

As some other viewer has noted, that "Gaztelugatxeko Doniene" is spelled in Euskera (people from the Basque Country call their land Euskadi and the language Euskera, and the language is truly one of the most ancient languages in Europe not related to Latin). The official Spanish place name is equally difficult to pronounce: Gaztelugache (the "tx" is a common digraph in Euskera that usually translates to "ch" and is pronounced /⁠tʃ⁠/ ... like in charm or catch). But you can easily learn to do say it properly... if you follow the meaning of the word. Actually, the name comes from the word Gaztelu (castle) in Euskera, which is quite similar to "castillo" (castle) only G for C and Z for S which are common variations... so its easy to remember: Castle -> Castillo -> Gaztelu. Ok... that's the first part of the word. Now the appended "atx" (pronounced /⁠atʃ⁠/) which means rock, easy. Then the "ko" which is the genitive case (denotes a "place"). And, voilà, you get the full word in Euskera: Gaztelugtxeko. So the name would be "place of the castle of the rock"... The second word ("Doniene") means "Saint John" (from the word "Done" which in Euskera means "Saint" and "Iene" which means "Juan"). So... the translated name in normal Spanish would be something like: "San Juan del Castillo de la Peña"... Actually, the ancient name of the place in Latin was "Sancti Johannis de Castiello". But I like Gaztelugatxeko Doniene more... Doesn't it sound more fun? And it's the name that local people use too (no, nobody translates it to "dragon stone"). By the way... the pronunciation that the guy from Honest Guide gives to Bilbao is like in between the actual Spanish name and the actual Euskera name for the city. Bilbao in Spanish is pronounced with the stress in the second syllable, not in the first one ... This way: BilbAo. People from Euskadi say Bilbo (without the "a" in the spelling and stress in the first syllable)... and the pronunciation is easy to remember for those who have seen The Hobbit. And... yes! They are both (Gaztelugache and Bilbao) wonderful places to visit. But, by no means, the places that I'd chosen. We have many many places that really are worth paying the time to deviate from the more known touristic sites. Albarracín, in Teruel, Orbaneja del Castillo, in Burgos, Patones de Arriba, in Madrid, to name just a few... full routes to walk through or whole shires to wander about (away from the most crowded ones): Sierra de Cameros, La laguna negra y Picos de Urbión, Babia, Cazorla, Irati... Name a province, and you'll find an amazing small or middle size town to stroll or a beautiful landscape to enjoy that almost nobody is aware of (not even many Spaniards). Places that very few tourists visit, ever. Even Albacete, that most Spaniards regard as the ugliest province in Spain, has jewels hidden like the Fonts of Río Mundo near Riópar.

Next time you are in Croatia, you should also visit Istria, it's a region west of Cres and it's very close. It also has beautiful beaches, great cuisine, a colosseum, a lot of history, old towns, hiking trails... I'd be happy to show you around! Love you channel, you guys made me want to visit Prague.

Great tips thanks , please continue with more recommendations in Europe and top 10 coffee shops in Prague you recommend

This. Was. Awesome.!!!!!! Hope it's the first in a series.

Great, thanks for it.

I always love your content. They are works of gem. So thoughtfully made. Awesome. Keep up the good work. Flying to Paris in a few months, wish you had a video of that too, specially the scams in Paris to watch out for. You unearthed some many in Prague.

Brno is amazing! We followed your advoce last year, thanks a lot for a tip to visit "Na Rohu" ❤

My recommendation is to go anywhere in Slovenia! :) We have the Alps, the Adriatic sea, Caves, mountain lakes and rivers, lots of vineyards, beautiful architecture, clean nature, forests, etc!

I recommend Tampere, Finland of which you also made a video earlier. Finland is peaceful, clean, people here are friendly and speak mostly good English. Welcome you all ❤

Love this! More of these types of videos with themes! For example…”Honest Guides top ten favorite…”

Banat is not only in Romania. It is in Serbia also, and there are a few thousand Czechs living there.

Both all these amazing places and Miata you are driving (it must have been a blast on those switchbacks in Albania) show refined taste and good "nose", Janek! 😀

Hones guides, thank you for a great video and a fascinating list! My favorite place it’s a Balos Beach on Crete island, Greece ❤

Some years ago I was visiting Brno, it was really nice. I stayed in Svitavy, a lovely small city (by car ~1h away from Brno). The city center looks really nice. Who is interested in modern history can see there the birth place of Oskar Schindler. I also enjoyed the nearby nature. I will for sure come back :)

In Croatia, I very liked Krk, but for those who travel without car, I recommend Pula, they have public transportation, it's big enough to shop and you can still find pretty wild beaches with clear sea. I was also in Poland several times and I always liked it, it's very underrated country, I also liked Baltic sea in Latvia, these countries are clean, you don't need car and it's not that expensive. There are also cool places in Portugal which I visited few years ago, but I recommend more like not to stay in Lisbon, some smaller cities look better.

Stunning destinations!

The Italian Dolomites are a must visit place, been there once and definitely not the last time visiting it.

Great video guys! Just a small correction tho, the place you showed at 7:01 is actually in Kotor, Montenegro, and not in Albania

I agree on Innsbruck, it’s stunning!

Continue this into a series!

As someone from Amager (Denmark), i appreciate you like our swimming facilities in Kastrup and our harbour

Thank you for amazing video

As you guys know, Czechia alone has enough to make 10 great places. So many historic and interesting cities and towns together with lovely countryside for hiking. I really like the rustic life. From Liberec to Krumlov to Ostrava. I need to get back there! Now I should to suggest place(s) where you guys might not have gone, or if you have it might make your next video: Skopje (North Macedonia) combined with a scenic bus (or car) ride to Sofia (Bulgaria)

One of the best episodes. MOOORE PLEASE!

Hey Honest Guide! Thanks for the interesting tips I totally agree with you about Brno. I drove there from my home in Italy to visit my friend Petr and absolutely loved loved loved it! I had gone to Prague previously and it was beautiful but there was something special about Brno. I also agree with your assessment of Innsbruck , I never get tired of going there. It helps that I live less than a three-hour drive south of there down the Brennero Pass! I have a suggestion for you. Check out Postonja Caves in Slovenia. I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Well done guys

This is truly honest guide, have been in Prague and then in Prague without tourists - Brno

I was planning to go to Innsbruck this winter to visit the city with the Christmas Markets magic,but also this period seems like a nice option to go,thank you for the tips! Oh,and also,the alpine part of Italy,especially Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Veneto regions,have plenty of those nice little lakes with beautiful water,and all of them are stunning,(just did a trip a month ago at Tenno lake,which is an hour away from where i live by car,and it's beautiful!) I think they are not too much touristic,compared for example with Lake Garda,which is too much packed with people in the summer,waaaay more enjoyable in the winter for locals like me 😂 Greetings from Verona 🇮🇹

Love how the places were not too mainstream and oddly specific!

I may never visit europe ...But by far my top 5 channel on travel and scam patrol ...Would love to hear more unspellable places from honza

I’m going to Prague for the second time on the 28th of august for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday .. I’ve been watching your videos for 6 years, I make it my mission to find you guys and shake your hand 😂

Love Brno! Has a lot of similarities to Prague, but so much more affordable and more low key.

9:15 I distinctly remember standing at this exact spot back in the summer of 1975. We then went inside the church that is seen right beyond the landing area. It was a gorgeous, light-filled nearly all white interior. I have a beautiful photo of the interior and have never forgotten it.

"Gaztelugatxe" is not an spanish word. It is an basque word, a totally diferent language only spoken in the Basque Country that spreads across Spain and France :)

I LOVE this episode! Anyways, here are my top 10 favorites in no order with much more needed to travel! Some of ours are similar! 1) San Sebastián, Spain 2) Mont Sain Michele, France 3) Mostar, Boznia Herzegovina 4) Istria region in Croatia 5) London (Don’t miss East London which includes Brick Lane and Camden) 6) Asturias Spain 7) Costa Brava Spain 8) Slovenia - Slovenian Alps and the capital Ljubljana! 9) Tallinn Estonia 10) Segovia, Spain

: még több ilyet, köszi

I also liked this episode and think they should do these types every so often.

Great list! I really miss Brno

nice video

I enjoy all your videos, with good information and humour but you could certainly do more travel vlogs too. Gail, Czech Republic.

2:17 Krk is also very nice island in Croatia near Cres. I only went there last year, and so did Rijeka by the way. If you go to Krk you don't have to take a ferry, there is a bridge (Krčki most) between the mainland and the island.

Thanks guys for mentioning my Croatia!😊❤🇭🇷🇨🇿

We love Brno too. Every two years we spend a couple weeks there to attend the Janacek Music Festival.

Ahoy Janek and Honza. My recommendation is to have lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants on the first level of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Yes I know it's a tourist hotspot but the meals are quite good and it's a relaxing way to admire the construction and feel surrounded by the ironwork.

Gaztelugatxeko Doniene IS NOT in Spanish. It is in Basque. It can be translated as Saint John of Gaztelugatxe. Gaztelugatxe means in Basque something like The Castle in the Rock.

Fantastic! Mas por favor.

Planning a trip to Europe in 5 years. Going to try and spend months all over. I like that none of these were big cities. I'd love more Europe videos.

Honza needs to be in more episodes!

7:00 this is Kotor Montenegro. did you really thought we wouldn't notice ?? ;-)) I guess it's was a trick to increase the number of comments and I felt for it !!

I'd love to see more episodes like this. You should visit Wales, partly because it's so beautiful and partly to give Honza some more place names he can't pronounce. ;-)

You guys are always welcome in Banat! When you come around, maybe we can have a shot of tuica :P
