Experience in Bratislava, Slovakia, by Christina

What is it like to live in Bratislava? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I only moved here 8 weeks ago and I have already met sme great people which is really easy as there are so many groups to join but also it's easy to go out and meet people in bars. The city is lovely and people are very friendly. Alcohol is cheap and eating out is also cheap. Grocery shops and clothes shops are quite expensive.
