Bratislava to Ljubljana by Bus Travel Vlog

Join us as we travel from Bratislava to Ljubljana by bus in this travel vlog. Our day started early in Bratislava, Slovakia where we give you basically the shortest apartment tour we've ever done. In terms of the price of our AirBnB apartment, we forgot to mention it on the vlog, it came to $49 USD (42 Euros) per night. The listing is below:
AirBNB discount: www.airbnb.ca/...
Our Bratislava AirBnB: www.airbnb.com...
Because we decided to change our travel route a few months ago from the Balkans to Poland, we had to cancel our Flixbus bus ticket meaning we ended up getting credit with them. We used this credit to purchase our ticket from Bratislava to Ljubljana via Vienna. The actual cost of the ticket was $32 USD / 28 Euros per person. The journey ended up being a full day event as we had a stopover in Vienna for a while. We arrived tired and hungry but also excited to be in Ljubljana, Slovenia for the 1st time.

Slovakia to Slovenia bus ride from Bratislava to Vienna to Ljubljana travel vlog video transcript:
Well good morning good morning. It is far too early for me. I think it is maybe six. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Six thirty. We need to leave soon. We really do. So today is a travel day. We're leaving Bratislava and going to Ljubljana via Vienna so we're going to be walking to the bus terminal. Before we go Sam is going to give you the world's fastest apartment tour.
We've made it. 40 minutes early. We've made it so now we're going to get some breakfast.
So what did we find? Sam got us Gatorade. Also we found a little bakery here. And a sandwich. They had some nice looking sweets but I'm just not craving that. Once we get on the bus I'm going back to sleep.
Time to say fare thee well to Bratislava. What did you think? You know what? I really connected with this place. Like we were here for a week. And like just by staying longer I was able to like go to a hockey game. In terms of visiting a lot of people just come on a day trip from Vienna or they're arriving on a riverboat cruise and yeah you could cover a lot of the main attractions in a day but I feel it is definitely more of a weekend type of destination. If you can come for 2 or 3 days. Our favorite was Devin Castle.
Look it is PolskiBus. We had some really good rides with you in Poland.
We made it to Vienna. It is freezing cold in comparison to when we were here a week ago. It is even colder here than in Bratislava isn't it? Seriously this morning. We have a one wait time but our bus should be coming soon and we will continue on to Ljubljana. What is in your hand? Got some juice. Apple juice. Picked up a few snacks that are in my backpack. We'll munch away once we're on the bus warm and toasty.
Snack. We're on a bus. Finally. Continuing the journey. What did you get? These are pretty good for wafer cookies. These are like the when we were in Vienna we saw them all over the place. These are Manner Wien. Neopolitaner and pretzels.
Update. We have arrived a little bit behind schedule and we had no lunch stops. At the hangry stage. Yes. So we're just going to grab some food around the station and that is that. Food.
Food has arrived. It was one of those days where we were like we're going to eat at the first place we find. Haha. Not the healthiest. Coke, pizza and burek. Not Slovenian food but it is the first food we found. We'll get into the local cuisine at some point.
This is how we feel after a day of riding buses. Urgh. We are both super greasy and tired oh my gosh. I need a shower. But where did we leave off? From the bus we walked to our AirBNB. It was a 20 minute walk. Yep. And we checked in, then we went and did some groceries. Honestly, I don't even know why we're tired because I slept on that bus ride so much. Like I slept 80% of the time. We're really excited to be here. First time in Slovenia & Ljubljana. We're going to be exploring the city. We also really want to do a day trip to Lake Bled. We have a lot that we're going to do while we're here after some rest. Saying good bye now.
This is part of our Travel in Slovenia video series showcasing Slovenian food, Slovenian culture and Slovenian cuisine.

[@ChescaisLostFilms]

Just found your channel, you guys are awesome! Love how real and genuine your vlogs are

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Welcome :) Where are you watching from?

[@ChescaisLostFilms]

Currently from Pai, in north Thailand!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Awesome! We went to Pai a few years ago. Loved it there :)

[@gpap67]

audreys smile can light up your day sam !!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That is true :)

[@shandilya1990]

Why hasn't this channel got a Million subscribers yet? :/. They make high-quality videos with good commentary.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@globalfilmpaul]

Great you are in Slovenia. Such a beautiful country. Looking forward to your videos for the memories

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! It sure is. We're really impressed so far.

[@mylonash7136]

Best apartment guide ever! Then again, I may not be as appreciative as I should be for those video segments. I like that Audrey poked the Sam bear with the pretzels and kept the camera on. You two are good sports and real. Traveling all the time has to be just shitty at times and I bet you get sick of each other. I bet its cool most of the time or you wouldn't do it. I will tell you if I was Canadian I would never leave that great country. It is so beautiful! I appreciate your videos and am thankful for them. Cheers!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Hahaha...I think we'll do less standalone apartment tours unless it is someplace quite unique. Yeah, being together 24/7 means we know how to push each other's buttons ;) But fortunately we're also good at giving each other space when we need it.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

I like seeing these kind of travel days from you guys. And... that pizza looked dang good :D Curious.. how come some videos are in 30fps and some in 60fps? Is that just random.. I don't have a preference either way. Just curious as I said. - Trevor

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We tend to shoot more 30 and 24 fps clips in low light or night situations and 60 during the day. We've been doing more 120, 150 and 180 fps shots now with our new camera the Panasonic GH5 which has allowed us to do a lot more slow motions stuff :)

[@Mrkva22296]

Wienna is ALWAYS colder than Bratislava.... ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, that is interesting to hear.

[@trends2morrow107]

We travelled from Bratislava to Vienna by Regiojet bus. It was amazing and very very cheap. Perhaps my best bus journey ever.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear

[@marcs8991]

Hey Sam and Aubrey i just started watching you guys i love your videos!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Welcome! Where are you watching from?

[@marcs8991]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I’m from NYC! Where from Canada are ya guys I haven’t got to that video but I have been binge watching you guys ! I’m going to Toronto in a few weeks!

[@juliegoodwin6850]

Looks like the buses are nice, would you recommend them if time wasn't an issue over discounted European airlines? Another terrific video, thanks for all you do!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! For shorter rides most definitely. The time you spend going to the airport, checking in, going through security and repeating that process at the next stop ends up taking a lot of time. Also, airports tend to be located far away from the center so you're also spending money just to get there.

[@SunnyApples]

You guys are finally in Balkans. Looking forward to your visit to my country Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I hope you have a good stay here.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We're very excited to be visiting Mostar and hopefully more places :) Any in particular you'd recommend?

[@SunnyApples]

Mostar and the capital Sarajevo are both worth visiting. Old parts of the both towns have the most interesting sights. Sarajevo has good historic sights, for example World War I started there. Also has a beer brewing culture, maybe not as good as Czech and German, but still I bet Sam will appreciate it. Oh, and best to start getting used to Borek and barbecued small sausages (Ćevapi), you will be eating a lot of that in Balkan countries. :D

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thank you! So excited about visiting for both the attractions and food :)

[@bandrej]

Bosnia, the land of amazing food and the soul of Balkans! Pozz iz Maribora!

[@SunnyApples]

Pozdrav! Love Slovenia!

[@jeansimard6944]

Extreme sandwich...huge slices! YUMMY!!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

It was quite good for a bakery sandwich! :)

[@blumidnight]

Manner is one of my favorite snacks. :) Thanks for sharing. Beautiful view on the bus too. :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Even though we were tired we really appreciated the views. Ah, it makes for a nice light snack!

[@misspearlpearl7530]

I just love watching you guys! I can't travel anymore so it is so fun to watch you. Do you have a home base?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Not at the moment but I think by next fall we will have one. We're both kind of craving it now. We love to travel but doing it all year long isn't our long term plan.

[@JamieBanksTravel]

Another great video guys!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@marianjeannemec3597]

That was Cool say He Can imagine Live in Bratislava.that city got all Ánd change so much .my friend was there a week ago Áfter 7 years Ánd did say thats crazy Haw into beautiful way that city change .love Bratislava

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is really cool to hear!

[@Joelknighton]

Hope you guys enjoyed Ljubljana as much as i did in 2012. Beautiful city, friendly people.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We loved it! Charming, friendly and with a town vibe. Not too crowded. So many pluses. How long were you there when you visited?

[@Joelknighton]

Only a few days. I enjoyed the beer, food and walks in forests nearby!

[@ThatOneSandwichGuy]

Lovely countryside.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was a beautiful drive. I had such bad lighting I didn't get as many shots as I would like to normally.

[@mauriciojulianfernandezlab7594]

thnks for your videos! a big hug from Argentina :D !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We sure miss Argentina. We hope to be back next fall :)

[@Hafizzy4]

YAY TO FAST APARTMENT TOUR

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Would you like to see less of those in the future? We're thinking of showing them quickly on travel days and only making full videos for really interesting or unique places.

[@Hafizzy4]

Keep it going! More fast apartment tours all around the world? I'm all for it.

[@drewlucero3916]

Can't wait to see the next adventure 📸👍👍👍👍📸

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Excited to get some food videos up soon :)

[@rotitelor]

Ljubljana weather looks like it was warm I take it when you arrived as Audrey was not bundled up.

[@samuelandaudrey]

It was several weeks ago. I guess it is considerably colder now.

[@canadiantree2000]

Be About is probably one of the best burger places in town I used to go there almost every month when I lived in Bratislava they have this crazy eating contest with a crapload of food and if you're able to finish it you don't have to pay anything :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

It sure is! Cool you went often. Did you ever see anybody win the challenge? They usually make them difficult ;)

[@emersonuni]

Great video .I love to travel on Bus. your videos are always fantastic

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Cool to hear. We've been enjoying bus trips a lot this year.

[@emersonuni]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos my dear friends ,do you have plans to go to France again ?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We'd love to but I don't think we'll get around to it this year :) Any places you'd suggest?

[@emersonuni]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Well as Peruvian I could suggest the north of Peru ,Amazonas Región there are a places like the called Kuelap fortress considered the second Machupichu ,and Gocta waterfall considered among the tallest waterfall on the world (sixth ),and the food is excellent specially the bread , tamales and Juanes .This place is slightly different of Amazon in Iquitos because is a jungle in the mountains ,"Selva Alta" region :)

[@chefprov]

We leave TOMOROW for Budapest Cant wait !! spending today charging all of the vlogging electronics, double checking all arrangements woo hoo !!

[@talkingshadow]

@Audery I'm planning to go to Ljubljana also but there's like super cheap so I might take that trip from Bratislava to Ljubljana but on Google maps there's like 3 routes the shortest is the one passing by Vienna and it says it will take 4 hours ! So why it took like a whole day with you guys ? Is that normal ?

[@samuelandaudrey]

The reason it took longer for us was we had to wait in Vienna for a while to catch the next bus. It wasn't direct from Bratislava.

[@talkingshadow]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Thanks guys

[@stuartrogers621]

I just love your vlogs, and strange because I don’t know you, but feel as if I do, which I hope makes sense? Are you going home for Christmas or staying in Europe? Keep up the good vids Guys!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! That means a lot to us. Yes, we'll be home in early December but we're like 2 months behind on content so our Europe trip that we're filming this year should run until late Feb or early March.

[@campagnian]

Its crazy how Bratislava changed over past few years. If you would be standing at a location 4:16 today, there are skyscrapers all around you :o (Skyscrapers by Slovakian standards, of course :D )

[@xmasanori7071]

It must be a long trip! I see how exhausting it was. Good job guys :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Some travel days are definitely more tiring than others ;)

[@themeltedchocolate]

I think it'd be fun to see a grocery video, just to show how food differs in different countries

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It has been ages since we did a grocery tour video. We should try to make one soon.

[@stuartrogers621]

After your Christmas break are you off on your travels again? And where?

[@samuelandaudrey]

We're going to do another trip with my parents (Sam) in Europe for a couple of months and then finally make it to Japan and also a quick trip to Peru for Audrey's Grandma's 90th birthday.

[@jekwinmekwan1292]

sorry to late videos watch

[@samuelandaudrey]

Never too late :) Thanks!

[@peterkelly1406]

Hope you realise that your outro was missing the links for english and spanish channel ... I put it down to your tiring travels. Love your vlogs .. more please

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for the heads up about that!!! Totally dropped the ball. We'll try to make more travel day vlogs :)

[@GetLostwithJohnny]

Great ^^ Enjoyed to watching your vlog :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@annirichardson5851]

I love those wafers, the hazelnut ones, just bought some at Meijer.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear! They are good.

[@nazfromqueens]

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha...thanks! ;)

[@sebastianpiorkowski5200]

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Hope we can someday :)

[@MrRW1980]

vienna bus Station is Always very Cold in winter because of it s unique Location unter the higway Bridge of A23 , wiener süostangente…….viennas busses are Living under the Bridge:)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh that makes sense!

[@marchu50]

We travelled from Brastilava to Vienns by train!!!

[@ES-fr3yz]

Hey,just out of curiosity, did you stay at the "Hostel" in Slovakia?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! No, we rented an apartment.

[@mesillahills]

Good things happen to people who do high quality work and especially if they are young with time for opportunities to develop. You certainly quality on both counts. I follow you on my full blown and mostly fully immersive 3D VR system as well. Now with the incorporation of all 3 BILLION of Google's complete 360x360 image library inside the HMD (head mounted display), I also get inside of almost every place you visit as well to look around naturally. I just never get to taste that wonderful food. BTW - The huge pork tenderloin is what central Indiana is known for. And they think they are the only one's in the world that have it. Another BTW - While Bratiskava was not in photogrammetry produced 3D imagery, Ljubljana is. But I did enjoy Bratiskava just on the 2D 360x360 imagery alone. I ran along the river too ! Slovakia has yet to allow the complex process of photogrammetry produced 3D imagery to be taken anywhere in their country. And the incorporation of the use of Lidar laser produced photogrammetry is going to only eventually make this beyond extraordinary over time. When flying around in full 3D VR, you really do feel like you are in your own private helicopter. And I just love cable car rides, ski lifts, and cog wheel trains in VR. Don't miss the little one at Ljubljana Castle.

[@samuelandaudrey]

I think VR is definitely going to be a huge part of the future of videos. I have some friends already investing heavily in it.

[@emilybh6255]

This is just a little tip - Part of the reason you are tired is due to all of the extremely difficult to digest as well as acid forming food and snacks you were eating - (although I'm sure they tasted good). That kind of food takes a LOT more energy from your body to break down and provides precious little nutrition of value if any at all - including the Gatorade which is highly acid forming. So I'm not surprised you were tired. Believe it or not, you'd have been better off eating nothing and just drinking water because at least it wouldn't be robbing you of energy. Next time, when you need energy, try bringing along raw fruit or raw fruit-like vegetables (with seeds) which when eaten will very quickly be digested and be available to energize your body's cells. You'll feel energized - not tired. Here's what we all need to understand about the truth about the food we should be eating which is contrary to the propaganda we've all grown up with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYuxZHt9nrhnsNk

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for sharing that! We certainly could be eating healthier these days.

[@jekwinmekwan1292]

wow so Amezing

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@agustincuruchet6852]

Come back to Argentina! It would be great to know you

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We will be back again for sure in 2018 :)

[@sukryronde2464]

how do you maintain your guys waight???? because your guys consume lots of food

[@edwinsaragih]

Cool vlog..

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! :)

[@PepeTheFrog88]

where did you get so much money? it's too expensive to travel as you are. BTW, how much did it cost for you to travel?

[@samuelandaudrey]

We're pretty careful with our money. This year in Europe we've been traveling slowly. About one week for each destination and trying to visit places nearby. It helps keep our costs down along with eating a lot at our apartments. We work as we travel to keep us going.

[@ryanw903]

any plan to visit Klagenfurt? it's an amazing city

[@samuelandaudrey]

Just looked it up. It sure looks cool. We won't get a chance to visit on this trip but maybe in the future. How many days would you recommend?

[@ryanw903]

well, since I think Sam likes to hike and there are plenty of nice trails to explore in that Carinthia region. I would say at least a week in the region. There are some small towns around the main lake worthersee all the way ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

That sounds wonderful. We prefer going a bit slower so a week sounds really appealing. Would love to do some hiking :)

[@Nubianette]

Sam really loves that hat. 🤐😜

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hehehe...thanks! I sure do. It is the coolest hat I have with me right now ;)

[@damnhatesyou]

I want one too. So good!!!

[@nicopadula]

I think that waking up too early is what gets you broken in a travel day :/

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, totally agree with you. Especially when you didn't get enough sleep the night before.

[@hasmetd]

Borek is traditional Turkish food :)))))

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah and also very popular in the Balkans. We've been eating it a lot lately :)

[@konabali]

6:30 am is NOT early!

[@samuelandaudrey]

We need to start going to bed earlier ;)

[@ericagiunchetti]

Go to Zvezda in Congresini trg! Order for a cake "chocolate dreams" or skuta jagoda 😍😍😍😍 amazing deli

We enjoyed your video on Ljubljana. Our family had a great time there and had some memorable experiences. Check out part 2 of Dad Is Phat in Ljubljana! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGHPnoCBaLhmg80

[@staceylynn1208]

do u really speak Spanish also?!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Audrey can! I can only say a few words. We have a new channel in Spanish: kzbin.info/door/D6d0LAeU8Ye51cxWGuPW4g

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Sam, if you live some place, with a lot of attractions, it's gonna be overrun by tourists and you wanna take he next bus outta there.....a nice place, with good weather and no serious attractions, CHEAP, is the way to go......:-)

[@samuelandaudrey]

I like your way of thinking! Totally agree. I think we'll find somewhere really small to settle eventually.

[@RealSpaceHobo]

I like your way of thinking too.....:-)

[@yxxx6161]

It's American thanksgiving :->>>

[@vgshwk]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I was referring to the movie hostel which was set in Slovakia. Maybe you haven’t seen it or remember it.

[@dieterfischer3432]

Actually some parts where filmed in Prague and Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic!

[@vgshwk]

Dieter Fischer yes but the story was set in Slovakia and my statement was meant as a joke.

[@stevenedwards772]

Many thanks for non information about this trip,about as useful as a chocolate teapot
