What an absurd and ridiculous comment. Poland is an incredibly rich country and the hidden gem of Europe. Serbia and Slovakia are also well deserving of a visit. Living in Europe, I pass reminders of the Holocaust on a daily basis. Huge Jewish cemeteries in towns where there are no longer any Jewish residents. In one Jewish cemetery I visited this week, there was an urn containing soap made from human fat at a German death camp. As someone with family murdered by the Germans, I never forget. So why don’t you tell me more about this wonderful German “culture and history.”


I am sorry about the tragedy that happened but Germany is much more than the Holocaust


Yet with that insight how come you post so horribly about the other countries on op’s list?
Aren’t Serbs and Slovaks, etc more than 90s conflicts ( which had nothing to do with Poland and Slovakia).
Btw whatever happened in former Yugoslavia should not be applied to non Yugoslav countries and pales in comparison to German atrocities.

Loved Germany when I went years ago. Food there is my favorite of all the European countries I’ve visited.

You must not have visited many countries. German food is heavy and gross.

Having lived in Germany and spent a lot of time in Slovakia (and many other countries in Europe, besides Serbia), I have to say that I don't think any Eastern european food is "good." It's pretty basic stuff not far off what you might find in appalachia. Pieces of meat in nondescript bland sauce, boiled/fried potatoes, various soups (creamy and not). Oh, watch out for the Paprikash - this is made from a pepper that is about as spicy as a green bell pepper and gets all the Slovaks sweating and fanning their mouths because it's the most flavorful thing that exists in their country. Be sure to visit a "nice restaurant" so they can put ketchup on pasta and call it italian-style spaghetti.

Of course, plenty of restaurants in Germany are also guilty of these war crimes and all you need to know is that the best food in Germany is a turkish fast food import called the Doner, and that they built a folk tale around the development of the "currywurst" (such an impactful culinary delight) which is just a sausage with some curry powder in it that is sold at every crappy food stand. That pretty much sums up their culinary delight.

Well I have visited more than 110, so that’s definitely more than 30. Nice try though!

Czech food is pretty awesome. Can't say I ever had a bad meal there. Much better than German food, IMO. But I only lived in Germany for a few years, so I'm not an expert.

You must be confusing me with another poster?
I merely meant that there isn’t much worthy of seeing in countries listed other than Germany. I am not an advocate of not going to a country because there was something unseemly in their history. It’s the past and while we should remember it we should also remember the good things

How does it compare to Berlin? Is Berlin still covid obsessed?

I don’t know. Never been to Berlin.


I have heard it has great night life

This whole idea of not visiting a country because there is some politics you don’t agree with (NOT a dictatorship just something that an average American doesn’t like) or it had something bad in the past is absurd.
It’s like not visiting the US because slavery and all

You must not be very curious or well traveled. Each of the countries OP inquired about is incredibly rich in history, culture, and sites of interest. If you can’t see beyond the overtouristed attractions of Germany, then it’s your loss.

You are right about not being well traveled. So many countries to see before I’d want to visit Slovakia or some such
Maybe OP has seen all the old Europe, idk, but if not, than it makes me wonder
