Glad you've liked it! To answer your question about the motorway in front of the cathedral - the answer is quite simple: communists. The communist party wanted to build a bridge for their panel housing on the other side of the river, so they have destroyed 1/4 of the historical center to do that. It sways because it is a suspended bridge, it has no pillars. I used to hate it as well but got used to it. It wasn't built by the soviets, it was built by us :) You probably just confuse soviet and communist and socialist (soviets were the CCCP [Soviet Union], russians; communist was the only ruling party, both in Czechoslovakia and in the Soviet Union; socialist was the type of government). Sad (orchard) Janka Krala is the first public park in Europe. (The biggest one is in Dublin) Again Kofola isn't soviet, it is our product :)
I'm going to Bratislava in a few days and your video just popped up. Very helpful and you've given me a few ideas for my video too! Glad you had a good trip dude! New subscriber here!🤙
Very informative video Ryan thank you. I'll probably just visit for a few days this summer and soak up the architecture. Looking forward to more videos from you 🙏
So many people tend to make the same mistakes, when visiting both Bratislava, and Košice, the 2nd largest city in Slovakia. They only wonder around these cities in the streets for few hours, and then returning back home, still thinking that our country and cities don't have much to offer, but they couldn't further from the the truth. Both of thesec places have so many intriguing museums, cathedrals, churches, castles, Zoos, and many attractions, which would take much longer to visit all, than just in one day. Also, the reason why St. Martin's cathedral is not because we were once part of the kingdom of Hungary, but since it's the oldest church in Bratislava, so well preserved to this day. We Slovaks are really sensitive about our history with Hungarians, because they were extremely opressing us in the past, prohibiting Slovak schools, and forcing Hungarian language upon us, and even shooting down 15 Slovak protestors, so it's really not a good idea to talk about it out loud in the public. P.S.: You've missed one of most wonderful sites of Bratislava, the Manor house of Rusovce, which is currently in a bad shape, however a revitalisation of this place is on the way
Hello, if you decide to visit Bratislava by any chance in the future, buy a Bratislava card, the card allows you to visit many landmarks for free ( like the old town hall, Bratislava Castle, Devín castle and much more ) and public transportation is also included =D
The rudeness and boredom of this city takes some beating. Take my advice and avoid. The taxi driver's are literally criminals that make up huge prices.
I always ask taxi driver for the cost to take me to the destination to avoid ugly surprises. Taxi in Bratislava is not expensive but there are some stupid private taxi drivers with high cost. They display their prices but people who don't suspect it won't read it.

Thank you :) Enjoy Bratislava! The view from the UFO bridge is amazing, if you’re not easily get dizzy like myself :)
@@RyanPelle TYSM! I'm pretty scared of heights so I might even be worse!😆
@HOSHJUGHES haha! We have that in common then! Tried to look brave for the camera and then desperately hoping I can mask it in post 😝
Looks like I have to consider Bratislava on my next trip. I love exploring old town. Interesting history
Very informative video Ryan thank you. I'll probably just visit for a few days this summer and soak up the architecture. Looking forward to more videos from you 🙏

Thanks for the reply, but still boring area
@@darith770 Have you even been to Slovakia, and witnessed it on your own eyes?
Very well made video and a great city. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback:)
Good and personal review of Bratislava. Thanks.

Came here from reddit, well done, solid review
Thank you 🙏
Welcome to Bratislava. Salamat
Salamat din po. Sobrang ganda ng place nyo :)
I myself found it super boring place 😂😂😂😂
Ah that’s a shame. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Bratislava:)
