Where to go in Slovakia: A Visitor’s Guide by Someone Who Lived There

If you are planning a trip through central Europe, you might be tempted to put a quick stopover in Bratislava, Slovakia’s capital. This seems like the logical place to visit, since there isn’t much information out there about the hidden gems that the country has to offer. We lived in Slovakia for a year, so we’ve explored the country in depth, and we’ve discovered a lot of great places. Here are some of Itchy Feet’s suggestions for where to go in Slovakia.

Slovak-Czech Beer Review

This is a review of 23 different Slovak and Czech Beers. Each beer has a comment from both Sara and I, a rating out of 10 from each of us, an avg. rating, a price (per 1/2 litre bottle), the alcohol percentage, which country it comes from, and my special category the price per alcohol percentage (PP%) so you can figure out how cheap it is to get drunk off of said beer. The prices are listed in Euros but 1 Euro is about $1.66 Canadian. If you’ve sampled any of the beers on the list please feel free to make a comment on them. We really don’t know much about beer tasting and sometimes we were too drunk to accurately rate the beers but I think the list is pretty good. Looking for more information on Slovak beer? The Slovak Beer Guide will have you covered.

Here are five good reasons to forget Czechoslovakia and to check-out-Slovakia.

The Tatra Mountains are just a sample of the beauty Slovakia has to offer.
