Advice on buying real estate or living in Slovakia.
Slovakia should be more popular than it is. Bratislava is civilised, cultured and packed with fine restaurants and cafés that serve sumptuous cuisine. And the prices are enough to make you swoon…apartment rents are as low as $140 a month…a substantial lunch can come in at less than $5…with flavors of Vienna, this city should not be ignored. As for the Slovakian countryside, well, it’s marvelous. Central Slovakia is full of deep valleys, and the Tatras Mountains are covered in stunning forests.
