In 1993, Slovakia and the Czech Republic parted ways and declared themselves independent countries. Most of its essence remains on the Czech side, except for the capital Bratislava, Slovakia itself is left with a few small towns, unlike the Czech Republic, which has many popular cities, so the number of tourists visiting is much smaller than that of the Czech Republic.
In fact, many people in this European country skip over and do not travel here, because it is much behind neighboring countries, not only old, old and dilapidated buildings are messy, but if you really want to come, you will stay for a day or half a day at most.
The reason why we chose to stay here for one night this time is because it is a stopover, although we know that it is very backward, but we don't know how far it is behind without seeing it with our own eyes, so let's wait and see.

Today's itinerary is about a 2-hour drive from Brno to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, this city is not big, there are not so many tourists to travel, when we arrived, we originally used Uber to call a taxi, but we couldn't call it, so we sat in the taxi scheduled at the station, this time we took a black car, the original price of Uber was about 4 euros, but the taxi charged us 40 euros (I dare! 10 times), people have to admit compensation in other places, when you ask him why it is so expensive, He replied to you and said you look at the jump watch! He really lost to him, his watch was a triple jump in seconds. From here, you can probably see the epitome of this country, probably this place used to be a communist country, so it was ruthless to hide from others.
