Exploring Europe's HIDDEN GEM Slovakia! Bratislava Travel Itinerary 2023

[@lynnedreeson7468]

great video. I'm looking forward to visiting during the summer.

[@vkdrk]

Bratislava is rather small and not as touristy compared to other capital cities in Europe but it's definitely worth visiting, especially in summer. It has such a great, laid back vibe and those long summer nights by the Danube are amazing. I grew up in mountainous part of Slovakia where nights can get cold in summer so when I'm in Bratislava I really enjoy being outside at night when it's still really warm and restaurants are full of people eating outside. I love how relaxed Bratislava is. Slovakia is all about outdoors (we are obsessed with hiking lol) but it's nice to have a city where we can go and just sit down and relax sometimes + this part of Slovakia is one of the sunniest parts of the country so summers are just perfect :) I've spent one summer in Bratislava and I fell in love with this city I'm glad you've enjoyed your trip :)

We agree, it looks a great capital but overshadowed by other European capitals for the amount of exposure they get.

Greetings from Canada, I came to Bratislava as a visiting student in 2005, lovely people, still miss my trip, will certainly come again, thank you for sharing!

This was a sweet video. You are a lovely couple. I was baptised in the Blue Church this year, and am in fact also getting married there this December. It’s a beautiful church, but tourists can be quite rude when they disrespect Mass times, especially during the summer. Thank you for video!

[@valasikova]

Aww I love how you made sure to point out some of the most interesting info about our city

[@oh0my]

Could you recommend restaurant where locals also loves to eat? :)

[@alteredillusions100]

Awesome!❤

[@wilsonmiranda4466]

Alex & James, great stuff. You guys certainly captured some of my favorites. Craft beers, soups, bacon & cheese dumplings, churches and nice scenery. Bratislava is certainly affordable. Shall include Slovakia on my bucket list of travels soon. Shall view your vlog on Praque next. Greetings from Malaysia, South East Asia. 👍

A Kék templom Magyarországi Szent Erzsébet tiszteletére épült Lechner Ödön tervei alapján. Azok a csodás kék csempék pedig a magyar Zsolnay gyárban készültek.

Haven’t been this early in a while! Going to watch this while I crush some late night In n Out and wish I was in Bratislava😁

[@TwosomeTravellers]

We wish we were eating an In N Out Burger!! 😭😫🤤 and thanks for watching buddy, you are the definition of a LEGEND!! 🙏🏼

[@LucBequette]

@@TwosomeTravellersUpdate: it was really delicious😂 having one across the street from my work is going to be the end of me haha And Bratislava looked so cool! Reminded me a bit of when I went to Zagreb! Not hard to love watching y’all enjoy life!❤

[@teresacasten197]

We went to Bratislava but missed this church. We were looking with google maps but of course we got lost 😢

[@TwosomeTravellers]

Oh nooo!! You'll have to go next time :)

[@misacraft3714]

Bratislava is nice town, similar to Brasov.

[@Beginnerrrrr]

Lovely. Which camera and lens do you use, if you don't mind sharing? I love the simple yet beautiful videos.

[@TwosomeTravellers]

Thank you. We use the Panasonic Lumix S5 and S5II with the 20-60mm lens.

[@nicholasstoulig4590]

We are traveling there for the 26th of December till the 30th of December and using it as a hub to visit Brno as well and then off to Budapest for four nights. Do you have a link to the accommodation you stayed in?

[@CaptCanuck4444]

Some of the prices, like at Urban, didn't seem "inexpensive" to me. Bratislava has the reputation of being an inexpensive city, is that still the case?

[@leigh7944]

exactly what I thought...45 euros for 2 beers, 2 burgers and share portion of chips? That's 40 quid! nah...

[@slowyheavy]

Prices are catching up with the bigger cities but you can still find food and drink much much cheaper than in this video. Just stay away from the tourist traps...

[@icedcat4021]

eh. depends on where you go, but the recent inflation hasn't helped things.

[@paulinemably9572]

I am welsh but live in Bratislava and Urban is definitely expensive! The toilets are amazing, the decor is great and the food is good but it’s super expensive and the coffee is awful!!! If you stay off the min drag you will eat for less but the prices have really increased a lot over the last decade.

[@oh0my]

@@paulinemably9572hey could you recommend good restaurants where locals in bratislava also like to go? :)

[@khatoutoukhatouta3484]

Yes, you were ripped off 😂 this is the price of a Cappucino in Paris guys!

[@bobberes7155]

You had Slovak food not Slovakian. There is no such word Slovakian. Slovak mountains, Slovak cities, Slovak people etc.

[@allsloppynojoe4011]

Ok Mr Perfect

6:09 *Slovak kings

[@adamdemilaci]

Why falsify history? Slovakia was created after the Trianon decision (1920), what are you talking about? I don't understand why a nation can't be proud of its own history without lying, even if it is short.

[@woptiomko]

@@adamdemilaci He is trolling :D Basically, there is a distinction between "Kings of Hungary and "Hungarian Kings"" which is always forgotten. We are proud of our history within the Kingdom of Hungary, which was a multiethnic medieval feudal society in which Hungarians, Slovaks, Romanians, Ruthenians, Germans, Croats and others lived and would consider the history of the kingdom as part of their nations history(which is understandable bcs our ancestors fought in those armies and our artists contributed into the history too :) The thing is, nowaday hungarians consider it being only theirs, with that we have problem. Peace and love.

[@icedcat4021]

@@adamdemilaci slovaks have been living on this land since the ~10th century. i wouldnt say our history here is short...

[@adamdemilaci]

Slovaks have existed for 100 years. Before that, there were Slavic ethnic groups only in the part of the Hungarian kingdom. A fictional identity with a fictional history. The point was the division of the Hungarian kingdom, nobody was interested in the Slavs. The Hungarians are slowly disappearing in Slovakia in 100 years, and there were Slavs in the territory of the Hungarian kingdom for 1000 years, then who treated their national minorities better?

[@brumtelesbrumteles1790]

Bolocs my man.

[@bbbb-ly4le]

I see two cheesy types of people

[@TwosomeTravellers]

Hahaha lots and lots of cheese!!

[@jayriedmuller7187]

It's BRAti slava, not BratiSLAVA. Accent on first syllable. And no such word as Slovakian, just Slovak. From a Slovak. Otherwise liked your video.

[@eugenkratochvila600]

I was baptised in the blue church and born in the building in front of it (former hospital). I'm glad you like it. Anyway, the UFO (on the bridge) is not a real name for it, it's only a commercial name from the company that runs a restaurant there. The bridge is called ''Most SNP'' (Bridge of Slovak National Uprising). We, old Bratislavanians call that ''UFO'' as Bystrica restaurant.

I lived almost a year for work.Boring place , after 16.00 only cats are in the streets
