- BRATISLAVA TO TRNAVA
Trnava seems like a nice, quiet college city with plenty of cafes in the downtown area, as well as some landmarks to see. It is a historic city with a historic feel to it....this is the 2nd city trip out of 8.
I wanted to give you a real-life experience of what it's like to visit Trnava, coming from Bratislava by train.
P.S. You can DEFINITELY leave a comment to help give me pointers on what I can do differently or make better for a video like this.
Thanks for watching!

#trnava #bratislava #vlog #slovakia #travel #foreigner #trains
I am from India I am a musician thank you so much for this video I have some friend from Tarana very nice place
“Mestská veža” (City tower) is actually the big “clock tower” BEHIND the “monument” :) and that is (as in all over European towns/cities) a “plague pillar”. Those were build to celebrate/commemorate the end of plague in the city.
I should've guessed that....thanks. I wasn't sure as both the monument and clock tower are included in the google maps photos, I didn't look around or ask someone 😆
Thank you very much for this video. I am watching it in Australia, but I was born in Trnava. That was amazing experience to watch it in English. Great job. Love it. 🥰
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I honestly think that Bánska Štiavnica is one of the most beautiful cities in Slovakia whenever you get the opportunity to visit it you should
I will have to visit there sometime! I haven't heard anyone else mention it, but from what I can see online, it looks like a beautiful city.
@@nicksterba too late bro it burned down
Wow Tranva is such a cool place,i love it already,my best parts are those where you are enjoying food and other delicacies😄. keep up the good work bro. thank you so much,the video is worth a million likes
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I will continue to make these types of videos and more. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the video 😄
Hello there! First of all, I wanna thank you for making this video; I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was born in TRNAVA, raised in TRNAVA and lived in TRNAVA for the first 27 years of my life; so yes, you can call me a trnavian! However, for the past 32 years now, I live in the USA; in Central New York to be more exact. So seeing this video of my beloved native town brought so many fond memories back to me. Thank you again for making it and sharing it with us. Do you live in Slovakia? Your Slovak words pronunciation is very good! God bless you!
Thank you for your comment! Glad to see Slovaks finding my videos 😉 Yes, I currently live in Slovakia though I am from Sonoma County in Northern California. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm looking to make more in 2024 👍
KOŠICE ❤
Nitra first! Then Presov, and then Kosice!
While the trains don't have an assigned platforms, it means they are usually not near enough for the station for that to be determined. Even though online they might have it already assigned, it may change last minute because of train traffic/delays/shifts they have to do because of breakdowns or accidents. Most of the time they leave plenty of time to be able to reach the platform once the number appears, and on the main station, the trains usually have a decent break anyways (about 10 minutes before departure) after they already arrived.
Also 21:20 Charlie is a really nice caffee I used to go to when I was visiting my friend from Trnava :D
Regarding the trains...that makes sense. It's good for them to be flexible, but the first few times I was a little freaked out about which platform I needed to be on heh.
Nice! The cafes in Slovakia (and most of Europe) are fantastic. Such a great cafe experience in Slovakia.
There's a beautiful and original café in a historical reconstructed jewish synagogue in Trnava, definitely check it out next time you're there :)
Next time I go to Trnava I'll stop by! Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Obchodný dom Jednota is department store :D that´s why it´s different from classic shopping centres
It was a funny little side adventure heh
I am also improving my English because of you🇦🇿
That's so cool, that's sweet heh, keep practicing, and watch movies in English as well!
Fun fact Trnava is actually the safest city in Slovakia, and I believe there has not been 1 murder in over 8 years
Very interesting, I definitely felt safe in Trnava as that hadn't even crossed my mind. It was a lovely city 👍
If you are ever in banska bystrica get in touch )
I will make an announcement in a video before I visit Banská Bystrica, definitely it's coming up!
What was that food? I have never seen it before either.
I think it is some kind of halušky, or based on it. The to-go place was called Trnavský Šmarn.
I can tell you are quite a shy person, and thats ok haha. Just try to show more details, like the prices of the train and bus, food prices, supermarkets, you know.. general info. Good video tho
I appreciate the feedback! I will show more details in the next city trip video!
WC is actually English and stands for "water closet".
Toto je fakt a tiež je veľmi zaujímavé
Kedy prídeš do Trenčína na Slovensko 😊
We actually just went to Trenčín last Sunday!! Maybe I should make announcements before I visit these cities.... It was lovely! The castle is unreal!
Štrba si na Slovensku hovor láskavo slovenský
What do you think of Trnava?
It's awesome. I like it well enough that I moved here from the US! :D
@@ericskypala2131 Nice! Glad you've been enjoying your stay in Slovakia, I know I have!
Are contactless payments common in Slovakia? I’m from the Midwest in the US and I haven’t had to convert any cash during the last month in Australia. So long as my phone has power, I can eat and drink my way across this country.
That's a great question, I would said most places accept contactless payment. There are some places however that only accept Euros in cash. For example the small bakery that I went to in the Žilina video was cash only. I'd say about 2/3 of places accept card/cash, and 1/3 of places, especially smaller, local places, accept cash only. So if you come here, it would be wise to have Euros in cash with you.
@@nicksterba Where would you Believe would be the best place to exchange currency? I’ve ruled out the airport. I went through all my currencies at home and found 21 of them! Four of them are no longer used. I did find €25.
@@chrispaulus4491 My recommendation would be to go to your local bank where you live now, and ask them to exchange your current currency for Euros, they should have pretty good exchange rates directly at a bank. If you already arrive in Slovakia and haven't done that, then I've heard that Tatra Banka has some competitive currency exchange rates. There are ATMs and vendors that also exchange, but they have terrible fees/conversion rates, so I wouldn't recommend them.
For digital conversions only, you can use wise.com, it's very useful, I use it on a regular basis to transfer money between my bank accounts. If you were felt like wise.com is useful to you, don't forget I have a code you can use to sign-up!
@@chrispaulus4491 I pay with my phone all the time when visiting my parents in Slovakia. The only time you might need cash is for taxis and sometimes for parking but I haven't been to a store/restaurant that didn't accept card/contactless payments. If you need cash, getting it from an ATM might give you a better exchange rate. I use my (UK) Chase card and never had an issue and prior to that I was using Wise (mentioned in Sterba's comment). If you can get one of those cards then you'll get the best exchange rate and you can use it to withdraw euros once you are in Slovakia/other countries in the Eurozone €
@@vkdrk thank you for the boost of confidence. I did go to my local bank that I worked at for 20 years and they rooked me. Bastages. I’m just going to hope for the best. I’ve been trying to research if Apple Cash can be converted to euros at a bank. I’m currently researching where the best places are to stay so that I can hike the High Tatras and Paradise Park (and possibly a park near Zilina).
