I am a 29 year old American and spend all my extra money on travel, been to Japan, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Portugal, all 3 of the Baltic States, Finland, Mexico, and all over the USA. Slovakia was latest trip and it is for sure in my top 3 places I have been to. Spent 9 days there and it was not enough. Beautiful country and amazing people and food. My top 3 favs are now Slovakia, Portugal, and Japan. Though every place I have been takes my breath away.

I'm from Colombia🇨🇴 and planning to spend a couple weeks traveling around Slovakia🇸🇰 in September. I'm really excited to visit as many places as possible. Slovakia is quite often skipped by tourist seeking a quick tour around central Europe, but for me is going to be one of my main destinations along with southern Poland. I'm already getting ready to hike in the Tatras mountains

My friend from New York was visiting Czechoslovakia a long time ago. We traveled all over the country in 10 days. He couldn't believe he could see so much variety at 700 kilometers. In America, it would take several thousand miles. Those were his words.

Such a beautiful and affordable country to travel in Europe! Hope one day I can come to Slovakia to visit my dream place High Tatras, Orava castle and to meet my friend, who lives in Bratislava. Thanks Ryan, your videos makes me always happy! 😊

Gothic art and architecture from Slovakia is also extraordinary. They have also thematic trail called Gothic route on regions Spis and Gemer with many awesome medieval buildings. Medieval fresco paintings made by Italian masters, biggest collections of gothic altars and sculptures in the world etc. I really recommend this! I also like towns Komárno and Banská Štiavnica and primeval forests on the Slovak-Polish-Ukrainian border, thats something you cant find anywhere else in Europe anymore.

I'm from Slovakia so naturally I saw some other similarly well made travel videos about the country where I live, but I need to admit that this one is one of my favorites!

Growing up in Slovakia, we went on many bus field trips. ( zajazdy )We visited all the castles, one you missed that I really like is in Trencin.
We had many skiing and hiking trips to the mountains, and one of my favourite things was the trips we made to the many caves throughout Slovakia. The Demanovska ice cave is particularly beautiful.
Thanks for taking me on a journey down memory lane.

Everybody with good heart is welcome in Slovakia ! Thank you for visiting.

My mom grew up in Slovakia and when I visited years back I was amazed at its beauty. I've been to Munich, parts of England, Prague, and Amsterdam- Slovakia takes the cake in my opinion. The people are also so nice there, I made so many friends when I visited and really need to go back soon.

I am planning to visit Bratislava on 29 July and I intentionally search for videos about Slovakia and it's absolutely amazing and worth country to visit!!!
Thank you for the video...

That was a very thorough overview of Slovakia, one of the best countries for numerous castles and beautiful natural parks. The stone balls of Megonky are like those in Mexico and Central America and their origin is just as mysterious and worth seeing. I read the comments and it's good to see your posts are inspiring people to want to visit places like Slovakia which are not as heavily advertised as France, Spain, etc.

If ever we needed to be reminded that there is beauty in the world, now is the time. Thanks Ryan! Definitely a classic!

Nice Video Ryan,

Again, like Czechia, Slovakia is a hidden Paradise especially for hikers!!!! The Tatra Peaks look so beautiful 😍 a cheaper option for the Alps, but same opportunities. One day i hope i am gonna travel Poland, Czechia and Slovakia in a roadtrip. I am thrilled which country is next..

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
