Default Re: Ask me anything about PRAGUE or CZECH REPUBLIC

How would you compare Slovakia with the Czech Republic?

Very Different.

Slovakia used to be part of the former Cechoslovakia, but in 1992 they peacfully split.

I would say that Slovakia is more rural than Czech. Also its a smaller country with a lesser population than to Czech.

The only thing i can say is magical about Slovakia are the Tatra mountains. They honestly are one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. With mountain tops reaching over 3000m its quite amazing sight.

They have a slighty different language than the Czechs, they do not pronounce their accents therefore it sounds a lot softer that the more harsh sounding Czech language.

I wouldn't really recommend Bratislava becuase its dark, dull and boring. The Shakespeare plays at the castle are the only nice things to see, but they wont be playing till summer 2008.

Honestly i would stay to Czech but if you feel more adventerous and are backpacking then i would check slovakia out.
