Slovensko 2009 - Bratislava

by qquest111

Město mnoha tváří a technologického vývoje. Město ekonomické naděje pro celé Slovensko. Stejně jako další větší města na Slovensku (např. Žilina, Košice), žila v minulosti Bratislava především z průmyslové výroby. Tedy i při dnešním pohledu se dá v mnohém srovnávat s naší českou Ostravou. Nechť si každý udělá sám názor na to, jaká města se mu líbí, ale já měl vždycky k těmto městům daleko.Bratislava je obrovskou nadějí pro Slovensko, vždyť co lidé znají, Bratislavu a Tatry. Do Tater jezdí turisti, do Bratislavy zase především obchodníci. V tomto městě nejvíce podniků a firem, i když ty velké průmyslové obrovské a špinavé kolosy ustupují a staví se nové moderní vysoké bytové zástavby.Podle toho se také Bratislava ale potýká s kvalitou života ve městě....

Camera fee

by berenices

It is possible to take photos or videos inside museums or castles in Slovakia for a fee, which is separate from the entrance fee. The amount differs from place to place -- in one castle (Trencin), I had to pay 80 cents to be allowed to take photos inside (although if you take the mini-tour only, there is not much to photograph inside). In another castle (Bojnice), it was 2 euros for camera, and 3 euros for videocam. They put a white sticker on your equipment to note you have paid the required amount.

White wanter rafting on Danube?... yeahhh

by matozbb

... so far the wildest thing I have done was rafting on the white water ...In Cunovo - on the Danube dam Gabcíkovo, there is an artificial canal with white water, where even beginners can hire a raft with an instructor and have fun whole day riding the white water again and again... if you want to have an excuse for staying motionless for next couple of days, DO IT. your tired muscles will make you stay still. :-)))

Martin

by Neit

The city of Martin played an important role in the national movement of Slovakia, which tried to separate from the Austro-Hungarian Empire during some years. When the Empire dismantled between 1914 and 1918 the Czech and Slovakian territories were annexed to form Czechoslovakia. Finally Slovakia achieved its independence the 1st January 1993, when the federated governments of Prague and Bratislava decided to create two sovereign states: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The thing is that as an English-speaking person from Asia, it is not to easy to get by doing things there unless you get to know few phrases in Slovak or any Slavic language.It has nice cities.. Bratislava, Poprad, Nitra ~Pretty Vysoke Tatry.. The snows and infrastructure and people are among its best features

The Slovensky Raj

by Paul2001

For many tourists from abroad, the Tatras Mountains is the prime outdoors destination of Slovakia, but for the Slovaks the Slovensky Raj is the ideal destination. Slovensky Raj is a large national park that is 90% dense pine and deciduous forest. It is the kind of wilderness that we North Americans do not think exist in Europe. The park is full of interesting flora and fauna including lynx, wolves, wild boars and even bears. While walking through one trail I heard a rustling amongst some trees and then noticed two of them split apart in a V formation. I had happened upon somekind of wild animal but I am uncertain what it was. The topography of the park consists of steep hills and gorges and numerous waterfalls. Some of the trails which are all well marked, are a serious challenge involving climbing up metal ladders in spots. In the winter, the park is suppose to be an excellent place for...

The Tatras Mountains

by Paul2001

For most a highlight to any tour of Slovakia is the Tatras Mountains. They are extremely popular almost to a fault. You will not experience peaceful walks alone in the wilderness here. Still the hikes in the mountains are refreshing a surprisingly demanding.This was actually my second trip into the Tatras as I visited the Polish side in September of 2002. The Slovak side is more immediately accessible to the mountain walks as many of the most popular trails start right in the main tourists towns, steps from the hotels. There is also a very good funiclar that runs up the slope of one mountain. The mountain trails here a very well maintained. My biggest problem with them is that they are almost all rock pathways with little in the way of gravel. I suppose this means that the paths will not be swept away during heavy rains and spring thaws but walking on them was heard on my feet and...

Don't worry for money!

In the Slovak Republic, one can find banks practically in every corner of the cities! VISA and major credit cards are accepted in most of the places and Automated-Teller-Machines are found everywhere. This is something convenient for tourists!

Slovak breakfast

by tyusen

Luckily, I had a chance to have breakfast with a Slovak family. It was really good experience for me. My No.1 favorite is paprika. Recently we Japanese sometimes have paprika but it’s still not a major foodstuff for us. I had too much paprika every morning. I also tasted various kinds of breads and cheeses for breakfast. Especially, cheeses gave me a strong impression. They said someone doesn’t like that strong smell but I like that smell. When I went shopping to TESCO at Zilina, I enjoyed looking at cheeses. I really wanted to bring them to my home.

...visite Tatra Mountains -...

by Smileks

Tatry Mountains - You must see ... "Slovakian Paradise" - for every semi - advanced hiker, with no fear of heights and with the ability to climb ladders and climbing irons as well as possessing proper hiking boots. The Demianowska Cave - one of the most beautiful in Europe, located in the Tatry Niżne, above the Demianowska Ice Cave. In the cave, abounding with fissures, caverns, and underground streams, tourists can admire numerous deposits of silica dyed yellow, pink and red by mixing with iron, waterfalls, and lakes. The tour is 2 km long, lasting around one hour.
