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.
Slovakia is magical, the most beautiful treasure of green-lands, lot of historical castles and amazing caves. Its 100% worthy to visit but dont forget very nice, second biggest city called Košice with famous Gothic St. Elizabeth Cathedral🤩
This joke is so true. While Germany has the most castles / chateaux (around 25000) in the world, Slovakia has the most castles(180) / chateaux(425) per capita in the world. I am not kidding look it up
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
@@RyanShirley yes! Slovakia is my fourth stop of my trip. First will be Poland, then Czechia, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and ending up in Slovenia and Croatia
Do not miss Kosice. Not sure why this guy skipped the 2nd largest city in SK but it has a beautiful old town with St Elizabeth’s Cathedral among many beautiful parts. It is on the border with Hungary.
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!
@@RyanShirley I'm from Košice. If you are visiting Slovakia for the next time and and you'll go through this region I recommend you to visit the Sivec viewpoint and Zadielska gorge :)
@@attilatolgyesi1777 And very close placed hill is Kojšovská hoľa - very nice place to visit (gorgeous view to all surrounding nature). And Poloniny - this is the end of Slovakia. Beautiful old wild forest with extraordinary night sky. And note... We have relaively a lot of wild animals - so be careful but not scared :)
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.
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.
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! 😊
yeah Slovakia really is a beautiful country. I have been to other beautiful countries like Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy. But everytime i come back to Slovakia it always feels like home.
I'm from Slovakia too and I love my country. You've made a really beautiful video about it-seriously. I visit a lot of castles that you mentioned in this video and I really thank you that you made the video of my wonderful country. ♥️
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.
And remember my next words dear John... You will be absolutely amazed with our totally BEAUTIFUL women :). Unfortunately, Slovak people often don´t know, how beautiful is our country :(. So... my planes for next years is travelling around Slovakia... I am fed up with travelling abroad - crowded places, big cities, a lot of people... My soul needs to be free somewhere in nature... Our country is BEAUTIFUL place to find "inner peace" :). Actually I am going to buy a motorbike - as a cheap mean of transport.
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.
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 🇩🇪
Do it. The housing and hotels / appartments are much more cheaper than near Alps yet the hiking experience is the same. Yes the lower level hotels arent that good but i can tell you that it doesnt really matter when you are most of the day on hikes.
And you can enjoy Slovakia in every season and always be amazed. It is really a charming country here ❤️ I definitely recommend you to come to the Slovak Paradise and High Tatras for hiking. You won't be disappointed. 😊
@@pavolbacik Je málo národov, ktoré sú si tak blízko a ešte nedávno žili v spoločnom štáte 👍. V srdciach a kultúre sme však stále ostali spolu. Aj dnes sú na rôznych diskusných fórach, kluboch... Česi a Slováci vítaní a nie je medzi nami rozdiel. Možno české deti a mladí ľudia už rozumejú slovenčine trochu menej (opačne to funguje lepšie).
As a Slovak person i enjoyed this video. These may have been the probably most known destinations in Slovakia, there are many more. A lot of examples are the old medieval centers of the Slovakian cities. Slovakia by itself has a large and plentiful history for people that like to read about countries history, One of these examples is the Great Morava which was placed on the western part of Slovakia and southern part of Czech republic.
@@RyanShirley Western yet i always felt like my real home is the eastern part. To add something you can also visit many ruins of the places from the history.
The High Tatra Mountains national park is my home. I live there all my life. I can recommend some caves to visit, like Belianska cave, Dobsina Ice cave or Demänovska cave if mention some of many. Thank you for the awesome video and advertising of Slovakia. Good luck.
Sometimes is good, that we are relativelly hidden, not very rich country. But people here are very nice and actually we have absolutely all what we need. 15 years ago I wanted do move abroad. I started leard german language... But during the time I have realised, that my country Slovakia is one of the best countries for living. I have been visiting Germany, Austria qiute a lot, but now I don´t have feeling, that they are living much better. Maybe my nice job, people who I love, our slovek SOUL are much more valuable than money... So I have stayed home and I´m enjoying it. And I started travelling at Slovakia - VERY enjoyable activity ;)
In North-Eastern Slovakia, my grandparents were born in the Prešov Region and in the city of Prešov. I'm proud to be of Slovak origin through my mother's side of the family. Perhaps someday in the future, it would be wonderful if my mother and I could visit her motherland country, but for now I'm enjoying your videos on here. Thank you. 😁♥
You got almost all the best places in Slovakia. I would recommend also caves as Demanovska Cave of Liberty, Ochtinska Aragonite Cave, Dobsinska Ice Cave etc. Also take cableway and make hiking on top of Small Tatras or Little Fatra. Or visit small old villages in east with wooden churches and nature around.
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.
Want to visit there...found out my Ancestors came from there🙂but did visit Czechoslovakia when it was behind the Iron Curtain..before I knew this🙂Beautiful and great video.Amazing Castles.
@saturnsrings [noah schnapp deserves better] Very clean and SAFEETY country. And - to be rich - meaning is very individual. I don´t own Lamborhgini or big house, but think - I am relatively rich in compare to all Earth. But to be happy, healthy, have a great family, friends, to be The Lord of my time (a little)... this is more than be really rich ;)
Hello how are you doing dear,nice to meet you here I was going through my UA-cam channel and I saw your profile picture so I dicided to comment on you if you don't mind.
Amazing video! Thank you very much for showing Ľubovňa Castle. Most of Slovaks do not even know this beatiful place. My father was baptisted in old wooden church from 1833, which is located in open-air museum under the castle.
So many amazing places!!! We started watching the video naively thinking about visiting Slovakia someday and ended up wanting to live there for some months hahah Amazing footage and great video, thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Cool video Ryan. I bet most people didnt know any of the places in Slovakia besides Bratislava. I liked Spiš castle, Sulov rocks, Kremnica and Davin😊🇸🇰
Beautiful video. I am from Slovakia and I have to admit that I have not traveled my country. But after watching your video, I want to visit all the nice places in Slovakia 😍😄
@@RyanShirley Once I drove across the Handlova town and exactly this place looked like if the time stopped here - like in 1980s. It´s placed very close to Bojincký zámok. But to be honest... I am from the east of Slovakia and everybody who works has relatively nice live. Not VERY different from (Germany, Austria...). Many Slovaks are not able to appreciate their life "standard" and our BEAUTIFUL country.
@@RyanShirley Thank you too. We don't know, where we go next. But we will go, life is to short to stay on one country. See the world learn and enjoy. Hope we have luck on you tube to have many viewers, like you. But most important for us is people make lucky and learn more friends, from all the world. Our greatest wish is on the next expo in Korea to see us in the Thai Pavillon. They show in the last Expo some great you tuber, in her show. See it in our video. If you help us thank you. Best wishes and take care Siri and Uwe
My gf is from the low Tatras which itself a great place to go, her home town of Brezno has a gorgeous car museum and World Cup skiing events only a short drive away. The high Tatras is only an hr drive from there that u showed in this video, Štrpske Pleso has a Kempinski hotel which is top class
nice video...I was born in Bratislava - my grandmother in Sud Tirol and my grandfather was German - so I am Italian- German- Slovak and I spend all over Europe but I love Slovakia ...I would definitely add Beckov Castle - it is incredible
@@RyanShirley Little... and interesting is also the story of how that castle /Matus Cak originated - the great master to which 4 castles belonged was hunting and his court clown Becko made him laugh.. Matus said he would fulfill his wish ... they were under that only rock wide, and he said he wanted a castle there.
You're videos are always fantastic Ryan. When I think of going somewhere off the beaten track for a holiday, I come to your channel. Great camera work on top. Thanks man!
As a person from Stara Lubovna, I can say the castle is cool and the houses under it as well. 😁 I have been there so many times there is nothing new for me haha. But for people from outside Lubovna and nearby cities it is a great place to visit 😁🤘🇸🇰
I plan to visit Slovakia in April/May 2023. The castle in Stará Lubovna is one of the top places on my list. There’s an old wooden restaurant and distillery in town that might be fun to visit as well.
Thank you for the video and for including my city Bratislava. The footage from the air is especially great, some places look even better this way than from the ground : )
Slovakia is such a nice country and I am so proud it is my home. Sadly, many people don't know about it which is because of insufficient advertising and overall campaign. Also, there are those prejudices about "Eastern Europe" even though we are very much Central Europe XD. If you come to Slovakia again I recommend visiting my hometown here in the west of Slovakia, the city of Trnava. Trnava is known here in Slovakia as "little Rome" because of the sheer number of churches per square km. We have a lot of those plus other nice places. From a historical standpoint, Trnava was the first city in Slovakia to be granted a town charter by the king and one of the main centers of the church here in Slovakia. Anyways amazing video.
I am from Slovakia and I can only write that you have done a good job with your vid 👍 yeah Slovakia is a small country but really really nice. I recomend to visit this jewel in the heart of Europe. Have a nice life everybody 🙏🏻

Excelent video Ryan :) I have some other tips in Slovakia:
- Castles:
Smolenice, Beckov, Trenčín, Lednica, Ostrý kameň, Šomoška
- Historic Towns & Folklore villages:
Košice, Nitra, Banská Štiavnica, Skalica, Bardejov, Levoča, Vlkolínec, Čičmany
- Caves & Mines:
Ochtinská Aragonit Cave, Dobšinská Ice Cave, Demänovská Cave of Liberty, Slovak Opal Mines in Červenica, Slovak Mining Museum in Banská Štiavnica
- Nature, Hikes, Fotogenic places:
Little Fatra Mountains (Roszutec, Zázrivá, Vrátna valley), Little Carpathians (Vápenná, Kršlenica), Western Tatras (maybe even better hikes than in High Tatras), Low Tatras, Hriňovské lazy, Kľak peak (near Čičmany), Manínska Gorge (near Súľov), Big Choč peak, Via Ferrata Skalka (near Kremnica), Sivec peak (near Košice), Muránska Planina (Squirell meadow, Poludnica, Muráň Castle), Zádielska gorge (near Košice)

Beautiful video. I am from Slovakia and I have to admit that I have not traveled my country. But after watching your video, I want to visit all the nice places in Slovakia 😍😄
Thanks so much Erika!
Gorgeous shots as ussual Ryan!
Thanks so much Bart! 😁🇸🇰
Hey man, awesome video and I appreciate your view on our country 😊
I love my country Slovakia. Beautiful nature and extraordinary historical architecture. But sometimes I feel like time has been stopped here.
Walking into some towns is like taking a time machine back in time. What part of Slovakia are you from?
@@RyanShirley Once I drove across the Handlova town and exactly this place looked like if the time stopped here - like in 1980s. It´s placed very close to Bojincký zámok.
But to be honest... I am from the east of Slovakia and everybody who works has relatively nice live. Not VERY different from (Germany, Austria...). Many Slovaks are not able to appreciate their life "standard" and our BEAUTIFUL country.
My homeland🤍🥺🇸🇰 so thankful for this amazing video!
You’re from a incredible place!
Amazing video and thank you for shoutout :)
All credits go to you ☺️

Fantastic Ryan as always. :) I liked Sulov Rocks ... I subscribed to your friend channel too. CU...
Thanks so much Reddy! :)
Vivat Slovakia!
Beautiful video.
Thanks!
My gf is from the low Tatras which itself a great place to go, her home town of Brezno has a gorgeous car museum and World Cup skiing events only a short drive away. The high Tatras is only an hr drive from there that u showed in this video, Štrpske Pleso has a Kempinski hotel which is top class
Amazing movie, as always Ryan !! :-) I know Slovakia very well :-)
Thanks Petr! Have you explored a lot of Slovakia?
nice video...I was born in Bratislava - my grandmother in Sud Tirol and my grandfather was German - so I am Italian- German- Slovak and I spend all over Europe but I love Slovakia ...I would definitely add Beckov Castle - it is incredible
That’s awesome! I gotta check out that castle 🏰
@@RyanShirley Little... and interesting is also the story of how that castle /Matus Cak originated - the great master to which 4 castles belonged was hunting and his court clown Becko made him laugh.. Matus said he would fulfill his wish ... they were under that only rock wide, and he said he wanted a castle there.
Hello my friend 😍 good luck👍

As a person from Stara Lubovna, I can say the castle is cool and the houses under it as well. 😁 I have been there so many times there is nothing new for me haha. But for people from outside Lubovna and nearby cities it is a great place to visit 😁🤘🇸🇰
So cool you live so close :) Where is your favorite place in Slovakia?
@@RyanShirley Personally I love Liptov region over all 😊. And also I love south Slovakia.
I plan to visit Slovakia in April/May 2023. The castle in Stará Lubovna is one of the top places on my list. There’s an old wooden restaurant and distillery in town that might be fun to visit as well.
I love the stone forest its beautiful
Such a cool spot 😁🏔
@@RyanShirley yeh have you heard or seen other stone forests around the world like zhengjiajie (if that's how you spell it)
Thanks for your awesome video. 👍😉

Thank you for the video and for including my city Bratislava. The footage from the air is especially great, some places look even better this way than from the ground : )
That’s so cool you’re from there! Where is your favorite place in Slovakia?
@@RyanShirley Probably Bratislava, but also some of our national parks: Mala Fatra (Small Fatra), Vysoke Tatry (High Tatras), Slovak Paradise.
Perfect job es always!
Thanks so much friend ☺️🇸🇰🏔
This country is so beautiful, would love to visit it.
Really is a magical country
I have been there a few times and I hope to return there someday
Slovakia is such a nice country and I am so proud it is my home. Sadly, many people don't know about it which is because of insufficient advertising and overall campaign. Also, there are those prejudices about "Eastern Europe" even though we are very much Central Europe XD. If you come to Slovakia again I recommend visiting my hometown here in the west of Slovakia, the city of Trnava. Trnava is known here in Slovakia as "little Rome" because of the sheer number of churches per square km. We have a lot of those plus other nice places. From a historical standpoint, Trnava was the first city in Slovakia to be granted a town charter by the king and one of the main centers of the church here in Slovakia. Anyways amazing video.
Thanks so much Simon for your kind words! I need to come and visit Trnava now! Sounds like such a magical place.
Slovakia is not only a heart of Europe but a heart of the world. My little Switzerland 🥰❤️🥰❤️🦋🙏🏻
You’re from a special place ☺️
I am glad to write you and I will like to be your friend
