Slovakia is a country that not many people know about. As a small central European nation, it often gets overlooked. However, there is much more that meets the eye in Slovakia. In this video we venture into the streets of Bratislava and explore the most notable historic sites such as Michael’s Gate, St. Martin’s Cathedral, the Bratislava Castle, the UFO bridge and much more. From the time of the Roman Empire, to the Empire of greater Moravia & the principality of Nitra, to the Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, Slovakia's history is filled with mystery and intrigue.

Hey, I was wondering what insipired you character. Was it the "Belokranjska narodna noša". Cuz it reminds me of it but i am not sure.
At least we know the sponsor before hand

all of it is taught in Hungary, or at least it was when i was in school

It's weird that I love Slovakia, I'm going there quite regularly (I'm from Hungary) and must say Bratislava is ok, but there are so many amazing places to go (Tatras, Domaša, Širava, Spišský hrad). Also the nature is amazing around Bratislava, but that's true for basically every Slovak city. If someone loves mountains, lakes and forests Slovakia is a really good choice.
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you. Hungary is amazing too 😘
Finally a Hungarian who is respectful to Slovakia 🇸🇰🤝🇭🇺
I agree, you need maybe like 1 or 2 days for Bratislava. You can make lot of trips to beautiful places outside of Bratislava and it doesn´t take too long. You can make it to the other side of the country in one day and to the most places there is quite good conection by bus or train.
You are welcome.
Why would it be weird. Hungary is a great country too.
Slovakia is probably the most overlooked country in Europe. I should visit Bratislava. Actually very good historic looking place
Because people confuse it with Slovenia all the time.
bro epretroll, hi
also, as czech i recommend bratislava, its better than prague
I'd recommend visiting more than Bratislava.
Because they don't participate in Eurovision. 😭
When it comes to tourism, Bratislava could be a relatively inexpensive destination compared to Vienna. I often see many Austrians visiting the city on weekends, riding their bikes along the Danube promenade. It's cheap for them, but not necessarily for Slovaks. Many tourists tend to visit Bratislava after exploring Vienna. They often take a bus ride to the city center for a couple of hours or even go on a boat journey along the Danube from Vienna, sailing to Bratislava, and perhaps continuing further south to Budapest. This city has a lot of potential, which is still undiscovered.
The first time I left Bulgaria, Bratislava was the westernmost point I ever visited. I spoke to a french guy there that for him it was the easternmost he's ever been to.
the eastern mose place i have been is bermuda
Crazy and true ❤ I like the thought of this
The most eastern place I've ever been was Saskatchewan, a Canadian province that directly neighbors mine. I'm just not much of a traveller, I suppose.
@@WretchedRedoran I've never left Europe, which by your standards is about 2-3 provinces big. Even here, there are still a lot of countries to tick off the list - prinary goal is all of Scandinavia, France and Portugal. I regret not doing a day in Helsinki when I went to Tallinn earlier this year. Also did the longrst flight ever from Sofia to Dublin, just under 4 hours. I see that Toronto Calgari is just over 4 hours and that's relativley short for there I guess 😂
@@GeorgeDelefufayete Mine was ho chi min city
You forgot to mention that there are two countries inside Slovakia: Bratislava, and the rest of the country.

It's weird to see a video about Slovakia as a slovak who never went to Slovakia,
Because of the religious conflict Janos mentioned in the 1800s a bunch of slovaks migrated to Vojvodina to flee religious prosecution and ended up in the modern Serbian state
you should come sometime it’s beautiful and we’d welcome a brother from serbia here 😊
Bro I am also Slovak from Serbia
How are you a Slovak if you never been to Slovakia?
@@drasel_ thats easy my friend, when people moved from a home country to another country they can call themselfes as citizens of that state but they are ethnically still members of their home nation because they keep the traditions and speak their native language in their household.
you have many examples, the Slovak ethnic group of the Protestant faith emigrated to Vojvodina and now it is a region in Serbia where 80 thousand Slovaks live.
a similar example is the gypsies in Slovakia, they came to us from India and are often defined in the population census, even though the majority of their population no longer speaks their native language, so they still preserve their traditions
hello, im a slovakian thats living in slovakia, as long as you avoid the more eastern parts slovakia is cool i guess. Not my city tho, Roznava is right next to kosice but we dont have shit here lmao.
I've been to Bratislava twice - a very well preserved city that also has a modern business district that punches above its weight. Love from Romania.

@@Throwaway-kg7ft it's simple. When I heard it, I thought that it was the real Mickey Mouse. This why I was so surprised.
Being a Hungarian, I always feel shameful when "Ultra Hungarians" bring up the topic that "Slovakia doesn't exists, it is Upper-Hungary" or "Trianon".... For Fuck's Sake, History is history, leave it be, and rather crying cause of the past, we should all focus and work on a better future.... I have friends literally in all of the neighbouring countries, most of them isn't even Hungarian Origin, so like Serbs, Slovaks, Romanians, Slovenians and so on.... and guess what whenever we meet, we have fun times, and don't give a fuck about "Ultra Nationalism" or whatever those boomers call it.

The amount of confidence it takes to place your capital that close to the border is ungodly
Austria has a similar design if you think about it. I think it is mainly because these countries have a lot of mountains and there is only a limited flat area where bigger cities usually appear.
Ir always looks a bit embarrassing to me with every country I see it.
Normally, all of the investments go around capital city. But given the place in the corner of the country, eastern parts of Slovakia are utterly left behind...
@@mikjak It'd seem here in Eastern Europe, it's the capitals that have countries... :(
@@Ordo1980 If you look at the old Austrian empire, Vienna was very center to that. Also, Bratislava is situated so close to Vienna, because as a Hungarian capital it was useful to be close to the court. Slovakia inherited this and just rolled with it.

Quite a lot of mistakes in that Slovak text, but its ok, Slovak is hard. I would have said it like this: "Je dobré vidieť takéto slovenské veci na youtube!" What you have said is something like this: "Good this to see slovak things on youtube these!" But again, Slovak word order is hard.
I've visited Slovakia many times as a country that I only drove through it from Poland to Hungary or Austria. But there were those 3-4 times when I travelled directly to Slovakia, those were parts around Tatra mountains, Štrbské Pleso, Poprad, Starý Smokovec and well, slovak part of Tatra mountains. 10/10, would recommend.
Absolutely crazy as a Canadian that you can just drive through countries. Where I live, you can drive for 12 hours straight on the road and not even leave the province you're in. For reference, I'm from the province of Alberta.

I'm Slovak working for German company. And our German colleagues visit Slovakia sometimes. I can confirm they love Tatratea, too. :D :D :D
In winter we also drink hot medovina, you can commonly buy it on Christmas market. Medovina is an alcohol made of honey (med = honey) and around Christmas we serve it hot in small doses (100-200 ml). I don't know the origins of that drink, but it's delicious. :D
I am from Austria and I visited Kosice this march. When i first tried Tatra Tea I swear it was like being reincarnated. If you are there please try it, people! (yes I bought 10 bottles because it's cheap af)

@@alyctro8158 Thanks for the heads up
@@alyctro8158 The main character in Skyrim drank some tatra tea and that's how they ended up on the cart.
The Hungarian mouse was hilarious
The brief overview of history was pretty solid! However, I do have some notes:
1. Avars actually settled the area alongside Slavs, even conquering and ruling over them. Also Samo Empire collapsed almost immediately after Samo's death and later principalities like Nitra and Moravia had nothing to do with it, other than their majority Slav population.
2. Great Moravia actually collapsed at the begining of the 10th century, it's just that it took untill the 11th century before Magyar tribes consolidated into the Kingdom of Hungary.
3. There were plenty of castles in Slovakia as far back as Middle Ages, it's just that most of them didn't survive the age of gunpowder. They were either abandoned for fancy new homes that were closer to the city/village of a noble's choice (which mostly did survive), or wrecked by the canons of whichever army happened to pass by and also abandoned.
4. Hungary didn't "suddenly" wish to secede. Hungarian nobles (oversimplifying a bit, some of them did side with Habsburgs from the start) fought with Habsburgs since the counterreformation really kicked into gear, then manage to play nice just long enough to kick the Turks out, then went back to fighting Habsburg, at which point they were finally made to fall in line.
5. Okay, I know this is an oversimplified overview, but seriously, you just. Left out Maria Theresia and Joseph II.?! For shame.
6. The 1848 revolution happened about a century and a half after the Turks left and had some actual democratic goals, so I wouldn't call it ingratitude. That said Kossuth was about as nice and sensitive to the rights of minorities as all Hungarians at the time, so he kinda had that one coming.
7. Booh! For shame! Using a Russian song when talking about Rusyns! (Seriously, dude, in 2023? After the 2022 invasion?!)
8. The 1968 revolution wasn't anticomunist per se, it was mostly about introducing capitalist elements into the economy making the totalitarian regime less awful, which Moscow didn't like, so they sent their army to strongarm local communist party into recanting their heresies.
Slovakia has beautiful landscapes and amazing food, totally worth visiting. I worked in a multinational company and the Slovakian colleagues were very friendly. They initiated me to hockey and it was more fun than football 😂. One time I remember they asked me to bring national drink (țuică). They were disappointed and told me it’s a nice “tea”. So they opened a bottle of homemade slivovitz which probably had around 90% alcohol. Needless to say after a couple of minutes one of the guy passed out and the other was dancing without music. Best time of my life! Greetings from Bucharest!

2 advices that might save your life:
1. If you're not a seriously seasoned drinker, don't try to keep up with drinks with the locals. I'd recommend drinking every second round at most.
2. If you decide to visit our crown mountains, Vysoké Tatry, make sure to buy map in Slovakia, not in Czech Republic, Poland or anywhere else. Every week there is some foreigner that needs rescuing because they bought shite map.

Maria-Theresa was never the Queen of Austria.

12:32 when you look at the Radnica building in the middle of the frame (the Townhall, tall yellow building) you can see a little black dot next to the first tall window, that's a cannon ball from the Napoleons time and his siege of Bratislava. On that same building, there is a line at the bottom which marks the water level during the great flood of 1787, this is pretty far from the river Danube, so most of the city was flooded at that time.

it was so nice to see Bratislava again - I lived there for about 6 months during my internship and in Banska Bystrica for another 6 months, so I sometimes miss it and miss Slovak food.

There are actually many Romanian influences on Slovakian culture as much of the Tatras were settled by Romanian ("Vlachs") herders migrating along the Carpatians with their herds. This is why the Slovak national white cheese is called Bryndza which comes from the Romanian word Branza (white cheese) - a word that's not Latin in origin but from some long lost Balkan language.
Other cheeses elsewhere have a Romanian derived name like the different Balkanic Kashkaval cheeses or Bosnian Vlasic cheese) - because the Vlachs were expert cheesemakers amd that's why traditional Slovak cuisine was cheese based historically. The Vlachs didn't stop in Slovakia but also migrated up to Poland where they merged with Slavs and became the Goral people, they also settled in present day Czechian region of Moravian Wallachia and probably further.
The Romanians didn't retain their Romance language though but merged with the local populations present.
🤓☝️
yeah they migrated to paris too or england or canada and probably futher.
Vlachs also meant shepherds, so no not romanians settled there but slavs like rusyns gorals slovaks poles.
Romovia nie su rumuni. Think you meant gypsies not romanians
Nu mai vorbi de branza ca mi se face foame!

The first time was spływ dunajcem in Poland where the river partially cuts into Slovakia, the second time was when I was on a sleeper train from Poland to Hungary going through Slovakia when I was asleep the whole time, and the third was basically the first but 16 years later.
It looks like everyone needed to hear this story.
@@aumento3069 yes, even the bus driver clapped
I feel your hype 😂
I live on the hungarian and slovakian border in Komárom so I can go to Slovakia whenever I want :D I laughed so hard on the Mickey Mouse memes and the scene when you freaked out that slovakians eat everything with paprika and sour cream (hungarians do it too and more frequently) 🤣🤣🤣 it was hilarious XDDDD and what you said in the video is absolutely true. Bratislava is a very nice city it is very similar to Buda with its old buildings and cobbled pedestrians only streets. Thank you for the visual tour :)
the part about paprika and sour cream was actually about hungarian cousine, not slovak :D
@@drxmsk then it's more funny because yes we DO eat EVERYTHING with paprika and sour cream XD and it's f**king delicious
I'm an American and I *love* Slovakia! I have been there 3 times. The video is hilarious. Nicely done!
Would love to see more Slovakia videos. Always wanted to visit that country. Had a good friend from there that was a foreign exchange student, we got along with him really good.
you can check many videos on youtube... like these guys... they spent few days in Slovakia and make very nice videos...
one advice ... dont stay in one city or one part of Slovakia... you can find everywhere something nice or interesting a little bit different
Slovakia !?! My prayers for you !!😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
Why? We are chill except for the shit pokiticians
He ain't comin back
You okay?
I live in Slovakia (the worst in this series so far trust me)
Well unless he been to Bratislava or Tatars those places are decent) or at least far west. But in general more east you go, the worst it gets here (I am not that crazy because I live in west but still for normal peoples who been even here I recommend therapy) BUT DO NOT GO TOO MUCH WEST or you will find creatures we call "záhoráci" with mean something like peoples behind the hills and I am so glad that hills are there because I live close to them. Some peoples says that we are also part of them but that is lie! But when you see sign "Česká republika" than you are saved because that mean Czech republic.
Bro summoned the whole slovak nation.
God bless you good man. Slovaks will pray for you for doing such a good job with this video. Again, god bless you!
I love Mickey the Magyar
for real 🤩
Ah yes Magyarorbán mihályorbán
Thank you for your content, always makes me laugh out loud. :-D Nice to see my country on your channel. Love the animations and the food commentary, I was giggling for 5 minutes. :-D
As s pround slovakian i appreciate when someone can pronounce names of our cities
If you want to see something outside of Bratislava I recommend Oravsky hrad (castle) and Spisky hrad (casle), cities Banska Stiavnica, Banska Bystrica, Levoca, Bardejov .. there are others.. And if you prefer nature Tatras > Rysy, Rohace, caves, Slovensky Raj, Sulovske skaly, Muranska planina
Random fact about Slovakia Čachtice Castle which Elizabeth Báthory was imprisoned in is only 105 km north east of Bratislava, if you dont know who Elizabeth Báthory is google her
I love Slovakia and my friends in Prešov :) Can’t wait until I get to go back next year! 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
This video inspired me to visit Bratislava, I just returned from there today and it was great.
Props to you, sir! Thanks for providing us with astonishing amount of Slovakian history, which I, as a Slovak, really really appreciate. To be honest, your pronunciation is really great too! It's not easy for foreigners to pronounce our cities' names correctly.
Where dead men lies I'm paralyzed, my brothers' eyes are gone
And he shall be buried here, nameless marks his grave
Mother home, get a telegram and shed a tear of grief
Mud and blood, in foreign land, trying to understand
Where is this greatness I've been told?
This is the lies that we've been sold
Is this a worthy sacrifice?
Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars
I'm standing here, I'm full of fear, with bodies at my feet
Over there in the other trench, bullets wear my name
Lead ahead, as the captain said and show them no remorse
Who am I to understand? What have I become?
I do my duties, pay the price
I'll do the worthy sacrifice
I know my deeds are not in vain
Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars
And feet by feet
We pay the price of a mile here
Though men were falling, we see heroes rise
We face the heat
As we are fighting until the dawn
So follow me and we will write our own history
Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars
As a Slovak your pronunciation of the cities was super great! Also appreciate the fact you researched our country's history love from slovakia💖💖💖🇸🇰🇸🇰 Slovensko je velmi zaujímavý štát
The fact i live in Slovakia is so ironic +THE PRONOUNCATION IS JUST *Cheff kiss*
Nice, 90% of your video footage shows my daily route from work. Good job!
