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.

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.
