for your information, the movie Eurotrip was filmed in the Czech Republic in the city of Milovice on a former military base of the Soviet Army. The film has nothing to do with Bratislava. Only the American people like to humiliate other countries. Borat - Kazakhstan. Kofola has nothing in common with your American toilet cleaning water that contains hydrogen fluoride.
Thanks for the tour guide shoutout! Also, I think that bread bowl/garlic soup is the only thing that's made me REALLY jealous watching your channel. I want.
That movie looked nothing like Slovakia. It is a tragedy that this movie was made to fool foreigners, humiliate Slovaks and our country and deter foreign tourists from visiting our beautiful country. When you visit Slovakia again you should see our stunning nature for example in Vysoké Tatry. Im from Slovakia btw.
True! But also I think that's taking the movie's intentions too seriously, it's a comedy and I'm not sure it was intended in any way to humiliate or deter, just to make people laugh who don't know any better
Nice video! An interesting fact: The Eurotrip part about Bratislava was not made in Bratislava, but in Milovice (The Czech Republic) hence the architecture should be way different :) Keep up the good work, take care.
To be fair, a lot of Slovaks stopped drinking Kofola because it's not that good anymore. There used to be a whole culture of ''going out for Kofola'' like going out for a drink/beer but for kids. You'd be asking your parents to take you out to the pub to get Kofola on draft while they enjoy their beer. It's still a thing in many places but not as common. I used to like Kofola but now it literally tastes like medicine. My favourite Slovak drink is Vinea. It kind of tastes like non-alcoholic sparkling wine. I went to Slovakia to visit my parents last month and we drove like 50 miles to get Vinea by the lake. You can buy it in all supermarkets but there is something special about going to a lake to get a drink like this in a restaurant with a nice view. Good old days :)
I absolutely love this fact, thank you for this! It does taste just a little like medicine 😂 But I'm obsessed with "going out for a Kofola". Vinea sounds great too, I'm excited to try that next time!
@m1kus960 Vinea is a Slovak drink created by a Slovak man, but for whatever reason, Czechs like to claim everything as Czech just because we were Czechoslovakia at that time.

I actually know that it was filmed in Czechia, the point is that it's *set* in Bratislava, thereby creating the (incorrect) expectation for travelers. Also this is a very serious and intense response for a very lighthearted video that speaks only love for Bratislava and Slovakia. Are you ok?
Are you OK? Your brain. The film is a lie has nothing to do with Bratislava. You know it's a lie, yet you support it. You don't tell lies like that about other countries. Do you need to make money by lying?@@Get.Lost.Travel
Thanks for taking the effort to make this video. Sometimes this is the more effective way how to bust popular stereotypes in movies. Last but not least also appreciate your effort to pronounce Slovak names of the landmarks. ;-) Bit of a hit and miss, but for one day great.
Really nice video! As a Romanian, I enjoyed everything about Slovakia’s capital, which is not too far away from us either. 😅 Oh, and also, the stuff explained in the video were on point, I’d say! You just got a subscriber. 😎
Gotta pull them out from time to time 😂 Exactly! Every country has their "things" but I think learning a country well enough to be familiar with them can only be a good thing!
Eurotrip? I was sure you will be talking about the horror movie Hostel 😂 Even the government of Slovakia complained about that one 😂 because some people were like "ok, I am never going to Slovakia 😨😱" after watching it. Anyway as a Pole I have been to Slovakia many times since I was a kid in the 90s. But I haven't actually been to Bratysława, we enjoyed the mountains instead. I think Bratislava looks similiar to many Polish cities so I am not that interested in going. I have seen enough old towns 😅
I've heard about "Hostel" as well, I think it maybe didn't gain as much cultural traction as Eurotrip? Or maybe it was just that Eurotrip came out when I was in school, so the timing matches up with my experience 😂
@@Get.Lost.Travel no idea honestly, I haven't seen Eurotrip (never even heard of it before watching your video) but I am a huge fan of horror so I watched all the parts of Hostel (the first two are great, the 3rd part is total shit and actually takes place in the US and not Slovakia)
I can see Snorlax on the background so I'm guessing you were able to get your luggage back. It's always nice to learn about a different country. Slovakia has nice architecture with maybe less people than the other popular travel destinations in Europe. 7:18 You're going to have to dance with a mascot next time you see one. 🐯
I was! Yes 😩 it's all back safe and sound. Thankfully. Exactly, yes Slovakia isn't really as heavily visited as many places, it's cool to see some of the "less popular" capital cities in Europe! Honestly that mascot made my entire life 😂 I would be honored if it let me dance with it
Slovak cousine is actually not that great. Like it tastes good, similar to countries around us and in pretty much everything is either cheese, potato, cabbage/sauerkraut or fermented milk. However it should be pointed out that it is by no means good for you. Slovakia is actually the only European country that the most common type of cancer is not lung or prostate but acutally colorectum.
There is nothing like "russian brutalism". Russians or Soviets did not invented or created architecture styles. They just copycated them after decades they were out of fashion. What you could see in Bratislava is functionalism style created after WW1, futurism, socialistic realism (but not soviet kind!), modern architecture build after iron curtain fall. Bratislava is a kind of mix. Old and new. Pretty small and absolutely laughable to compared with Vienna, Prague, Budapest. As I lived in Bratislava for some time, and then I lived abroad, I have to say that Bratislava and whole Slovakia is not as horrible as people described. But I am afraid, with current government, with trends of imbecilicity and the horrible economical decisions Slovakia is walking backwards. BTW, you don't like kofola, because it is quite specific regional product. It is not watered coke, it is coke with less sugar and more fruity tones in flavour. Czechs and Slovaks love it. I consider pepsi and coca-cola tasting too artificial and sweet.
Of course the capital is always beautiful and the most developed but outside of Bratislava the rest of the coutry does feel like a wasteland and about the people of course they gonna help a tourist just to make him believe that we are good people while they not doing much of help to their own people! Living here SUCKS!
Slavic colours are white, blue and red, not necessarily in that particular order; Slovakia and Slovenia have white/blue/red stripes with their specific coat of arms; Czech republic has a blue triangle between white and red and their tricolore is white,red and blue; Serbia has red, blue and white flag; Croatia has red, white and blue (with their coat of arms). There is much more to it but this is a gist of it. TL;DR flags are not only about colours, it's about the whole flag, that thing in the middle is there for a reason.
Because we were first and acknowledged the Ukrainians as their own separate folks and culture. Now go learn some history, it is why they chose the colors to be separate - of the land and the sea. You sea - it straight up in the flag. The wheat fields against the blue skies.
Russians have betrayed too many times. They may carry the Slavic name, is all they got. Forget the word of Slavs, be the the slovo, and not the slave, is word that shall set you free..

I still need to go on one of your tours!! Garlic soup is perfect in a bread bowl, it's like butter on the bread. Ideal. 🤤
nobody eats soup in bread in Slovakia, it's an invention for tourists.
Nice video! 😊 loved the voiceover throughout the video and the explanations - from an expat living in Bratislava!
Ah thanks so much! It's really such a lovely city, I totally get the appeal! 🙏🏻
Amazing video! Bratislava is a wonderful city!

Genius, Slovakia is one of the best countries in Europe to move to and the best country to move to is Czech Republic
