 Slovak and Bratislava flag by HORSCHECK
In my opinion it is always respectful to speak at least a few words in the local language:
Dobry den = Good day
Dovidenia = Good bye
d'akujem = Thank you
prosim = please Leave a Comment

Don't be so impatient here. You are not in America and things are probably not the same in many aspects. You cannot complain and critique how locals do things. They've been around for a longer time. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I didnt see many Americans here, but the few that I did see were frankly an embarassment. Whether you like it or not, you as a person or group, represent your country to the people you have interactions with. Please help to show these people that Yankees are all not impatient, rude, unilingual, fat bastards. Show them that Americans are more than they expected.

The non-English speakers that I met in Bratislava were very helpful - ( compared to the Not Helpful Chezk non-English speakers that I met in Prague) in either way or another they all do their best to try and understand you and help you accordingly. Most of the young people do speak English yet I met others who don't but were still helpful and at restaurants most of the menus have pictures and are written in both Slovak and English.

It may just be me but I have not enjoyed my stay in Bratislava. Everyone seems quite rude to me. My colleague is African American and was actually PUSHED out of a resturaunt!
You won't find me coming here as a tourist! Leave a Comment

Despite the importance of footwear clanliness, never wear your shoes inside someone´s home. Leave them at the door - your host will often offer you a pair of slippers (papuce). Leave a Comment

Hi,
since I came here I noticed people from abroad like me may actually get confused by the Slovak language cause they say "Ano" to say Yes and "Nie" to say No. So sometimes they are replying to you Ano and it means it is YES okay. :D Leave a Comment

If you're invited to a Slovak person's home do not forget to take off your shoes upon you arrival at his/her entrance hall. This is a common practice in Slovakia and you will be frowned on if you proceed to enter their living room with your shoes still on. Usually, you might be offered some visitor's slippers.

 Don't smoke in Bratislava
station by kit_mc
Beware in particular that at Bratislava Train Station, there is no smoking in the building, nor on the platform. There is the tiniest, tiniest sign on the platform itself, and even though the station is pretty rough, I saw some police telling some Slovaks to put out their cigarettes.
And you really wouldn't want to argue! Leave a Comment
