“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 😆

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

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!

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.

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.

@nicksterba Жыл бұрын

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.

@nicksterba Жыл бұрын

@@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).
