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.
Let me know if you will go to Bratislava or Slovakia :) more than happy to show you real face of our beautiful country outside of touristic traps like restaurants you visited 😅
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
The funny this about EuroTrip is that the scene was filmed in Milovice, Czechia (Specifically at Spojovací street), a few months before the whole place was to be refurbished. The film crew actually filmed in summer and took all the leaves off trees, which killed them. :(
I head that it was actually filmed in Czechia (they mentioned it on a tour in Bratislava actually!) but I didn't know about the killing of the trees 😩 That's unfortunate!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Brutalist estate used to be Engerau aka Petrzalka. My mummy's family is from Engerau. They used to own a beautiful Pub with an exeptional beer garden. It was a tragedy that it was destroyed 😢
there certainly ARE places in svk that resemble those scenes from "Eurotrip" :D:D but even in our country that is rather exception than a rule..... I'd say our culture is somewhere in between in everything in general..... we're not the cleanest country, but also nowhere near as dirty as some other countries...... we are not one of the wealthiest countries, but there are even worse economical countries in europe...... we are not the nicest people, but also much nicer than some other countries..... so bottom line is, in slovakia you can always enjoy a big jar of authentic european mediocrity :D:D
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)

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.
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
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!
I am by no means an expert in the matter, but I find the production quality of your video stunning. It's so easy to watch. Great job. Yeah and thanks for the shout-out for my country. It certainly does need any sort of positive advertisment now, that we have complete fucks for government and a tool for a president.
Ah that means a lot, thank you so much!! I only visited for a short period of time, but I definitely think more people should get the chance to see it and experience it for themselves beyond whatever perception they might have, etc.! 🙏🏻❤️
what that movie portrayed was areas like Lunik IX , a gypsy inhabited abandoned commie block municipality. Gypsys are prevalent in europe, and out of all the countries they are present, slovak republic has incorporated their own language (the gypsy roma language) the most and the mutual respect amongst actual slovak citizens and the romas and the language is a strong cultural tie. They are the poorest individuals that hold bloodlines from indian vagabonds that are thousands of years old. alot of slovak music culture has roma music and slovak intertwined. I cant speak or understand it but it's very spaniard sounding. If it shows anything about slovak culture is that they dont discriminaye against the struggle and poverty life, as slovaks in history were quite impoverished financially thsmselves, but rich in the soul. I am a slovak from serbia , my family now lives in canada because of the yugo wars. It's not a perfect ultra rich nation, but our culture is almost divine compared to the rest of the world. Slovaks living inside might not see this, but its very true imo. Id suggest revisiting and seeing the country side. I have not ever stepped foot into slovakia myself but I have been back to serbia throughout my childhood ! there is a slovak diaspora in north serbia , aswell as some czechs in the multicultural vojvodina region of north serbia. Nice summary!
So you haven't even set foot in Slovakia, but you know everything about the "mutual respect" between Roma and Gadži (white people). Mutual respect only exists on paper. Everyone has their own world and their own customs, which are often incompatible with the other. I personally grew up among them, I work with them, I have many friends among them, they respect me, which is a rarity, but at the end of the day we are Gadži and they are Roma.

Modernism didnt come to Bratislava from Russia... all that modernism is from Berlin, Paris and Brussel. Communists just liked the idea of modernism because they wanted new world and didnt have so much of respect toward history than people in democratic capitalistic countries. But modernism affected all the countries around the world a we could argue if, how and where better or whorse.
Its nice to show that Slovakia isnt destroyed like Russia, but there is a grain of truth in those Hostel movies in sense of corruption, mafia etc... really horrible stories especially from 90s during Mečiar era.
I'm Slovak and uh... the gray gradient isn't even that unrealistic. Plus, as probably about a billion slovak people in the comments already mentioned, Bratislava =/= Slovakia.
Its really cringe when youtubers come to bratislava and go to all the famous places ordering halusky and expecting it to be something special cuz everybody talks about it. Halusky are the simple food of the sheep farmers that can feed a lot of people for cheap. It has never ment to be a luxury mspeciality. It tastes great with fresh local Bryndza, but thats not everywhere, . Anyway, thanks for doing a not so cringy review of my country. But definetly visit other places like Spiš castle or Bojnice, or Banská Bystrica.
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
Nice video man! I would like to add that Bratislava DOES NOT represent what Slovakia is. The country is much much different from capital man. So when you visited Bratislava only, you shouled not say you know Slovakia.
Bratislava is not the whole of Slovakia, nor does it represent Slovakia in any way. Please don't say you've visited Slovakia if you've only visited the centre of Bratislava
Pravda brasko. Miluje odbornikov, co boli iba v Blave ale a sa pysia, ze vedia ake je Slovensko. Keby presiel typek aspon vsetky krajske mesta tak by pochopil, ze Blava ja uplne nieco ine.
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.
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!
😂...I use to live in south of city which looks very similar still...😂 But We have some beautifull cities Who no ones know with beautifull castles like Trencin(around is Beckov castle, Bojnice castle..waw)...
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..

Nice video man! I would like to add that Bratislava DOES NOT represent what Slovakia is. The country is much much different from capital man. So when you visited Bratislava only, you shouled not say you know Slovakia.
Bratislava is not the whole of Slovakia, nor does it represent Slovakia in any way. Please don't say you've visited Slovakia if you've only visited the centre of Bratislava
Pravda brasko. Miluje odbornikov, co boli iba v Blave ale a sa pysia, ze vedia ake je Slovensko. Keby presiel typek aspon vsetky krajske mesta tak by pochopil, ze Blava ja uplne nieco ine.
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.
Oh yeah, for sure. Nice to taste, but not the sort of thing that you want to eat every meal
less smoked meat, more sauerkraut, beans and kefir.
Loved bratislava! Did not appreciate kofola..
😂 I did like the draft Kofola a bit better than the bottle, it wasn't quite so uhhhhh medicinal 😂
How to insult 2 nations at once...congratulations.🤣
its an acquired taste. you have to be born here to like it. i dont know any foreigners who like it. dont worry, no one will be offended.
Thanks for keeping my name secret. I wouldn’t want anyone to know about my weekend tiger side hustle
😂 I gotta keep our undiscovered superstars Safe out there
Ty píšeš po Slovensky slovensky 😂😂😂 i'm Slovak
Now you go to Sečovce 😁
I'll add it to the list!! 🙏🏻🇸🇰
A čo tam? Hábeš a Smeráci? 😂
There are only two countries in Europe where there are no mosques. Slovakia and Latvia.
Oh, interesting! Hopefully both countries are able to build some soon, religious accessibility and diversity is super important!
@@Get.Lost.Travel Oof... I fear that most slovaks will disagree with that.
There is plenty of decent people in our country despite some loud occasional animal that makes us all look like drunks and racists.
Poor but not fascist!!!👍
I agree! I would rather live there!
Bratislava, Bratislava blues

True heart of the Slovakia is not Bratislava, but High Tatras and cities around.
I believe it, I'm excited to explore more one day!
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!
Visiting Slovakia: 🤩
Living in Slovakia: 🌚
Genius, Slovakia is one of the best countries in Europe to move to and the best country to move to is Czech Republic
Bratislava is a dumpster compared to the rest of the country
Definitely am excited to see more of Slovakia at some point!
This is embarrassing for you…but Eurotrip is a documentary. Sorry to out you like this.
🤯 Big info, and in that case huge props to the director for getting first-hand access to some of these major iconic moments in European history 👏🏻
Back when Eurotrip was filmed, most of Slovakia actually did look like that.
I'm sure it was super different! I'm amazed at how quickly many of these places have developed
@@Get.Lost.Travel Tatran Tiger economic miracle of the early 2000s
No
Slovakia always look better then your dirty country
😂...I use to live in south of city which looks very similar still...😂
But We have some beautifull cities Who no ones know with beautifull castles like Trencin(around is Beckov castle, Bojnice castle..waw)...
Why they use Russian flag ?
It isn't quite the same, it has a Coat of Arms on it!
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..
Bruh 😂
It's Dutch tricolor.
From that most of the countries take inspiration.
