    How am I going to manage in Bratislava? That was my first thought. Through InterNations I attended a few nice events and eventually I began to like it here.

What to Expect From Expat Life in Bratislava

Bratislava may be among Europe's smaller capital cities, but what it lacks in scale it more than makes up for in history and personality. The winding streets of the city's old town are packed with traces of Slovakia's storied past, sharing space with lively modern bars, cafes, and restaurants. The city is also uniquely well-connected, with excellent transport links to Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. Many expats are drawn to Bratislava by business opportunities in key industries such as IT, engineering, and telecommunications, while others use the city as an affordable base for commuting into Vienna. The city also has a rich cultural life, with several active theaters, museums, and galleries, as well as a thriving local music scene. Open-minded and inquisitive expats will find a warm welcome and a wide variety of experiences in this unsung gem of central Europe.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Dubai or Brussels, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Become a Part of Our Network of Expatriates in Bratislava

InterNations is a community-driven and provides a safe and secure environment for business and social networking between expatriates. All of our members agree to abide by our principles of respect, politeness and responsible behavior at all times. If you have any questions about life in Bratislava, we encourage you to ask them — from practical considerations such as the best districts for renting property and how to get a job in the city, to finding out about local sports teams and activity groups, or simply like-minded fellow expats to share a coffee with. Through InterNations Groups and at regular larger-scale events in Bratislava, you can enjoy a bite to eat or a glass of wine while mixing with fellow travelers from all walks of life.

    Bratislava wasn't an easy move for us. Then I joined InterNations and found a job for myself, a car for my partner and a nanny for the kids.
