COLLDEEDs
services for expats
in Slovakia













Originally I started as real estate agency which specialized in helping foreigners looking for their new home in Bratislava, Slovakia. During my work with my clients, I found out while relocating and living in Bratislava, they need to answer many questions, to find many usefull information, so I made this web site which I hope will be good source for you to navigate you where to find reliable official information. Gradually I have started to help foreigners in more different ways and spread my services in other segments gratefully to my dear partners who are best in their fields.

Welcome to our lovely country - Slovakia

Officially the Slovak Republic  central European country, bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the southwest, and the Czech republic to the northwest. Slovakia is smaller country cca 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 5.4 million and consists mostly of ethnic Slovaks. Interesting fact is that In the second quarter of 2020 the total increase in the population of Slovakia was 2,210 persons which was halfly made by you, foreigners coming to Slovakia. 

Slovakia is a member of the European Union and the Eurozone, as well as a member of the Schengen Area, NATO, the United Nations, the OECD, the WTO, CERN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, and the Visegrád Group.  

Slovakia adopted the euro on 1 January 2009.

Taxi

It is highly recommended to order the taxi by phone or app because it is way more cheaper like to stop one on the street.

Specially when you are arriving first time to Slovakia and you are not sure about prices of taxi services you can be charged much more money when taxi driver figure out you are new to town and foreigner specially. I recommend to download app as best way to avoid any misunderstanding and high bill.
Taxi services are very cheap in Bratislava when you know the way :)

Parking in Bratislava

Parking can be challenging, especially in some localities in Bratislava like city center, but also wider city center. There is new parking police in the town, so better check each locality specifically. Parking information for tourists you can find here: 
For long term stay you can click for more information below. But check if you have right for residential parking. As most of you are only tenants and do not have permanent residency in Slovakia.

Where to buy?

From the basic grocery store brands, pharmacy, electronics, or the store where I quite often end with my clients to get the bedding for their new apartment :) 

Grocery stores

There are different brands of grocery stores in Slovakia, you can find little ones but be ready that they are more expensive, but convenient. 

Biggest are LIDL, Tesco and Kaufland (Kaufland has only few stores in Bratislava). 
Tesco is the only one which operates online as well and has British language mutation on the online shop :). Lidl has online shop only for nongrocery products. 

It is really worthy to mention also Delia - smaller cozy store concept, many times with coffee corner as well. They do really fast delivery.

Bedding, towels etc.. 

In many apartments after your arrival you will be missing bedding, sheets, pillows.. Not every landlord provides it as many tenants also prefer their own. Many times I went with my clients to stores to get some. Here is my recommendation for beggining. Visit closest Jysk store to you, you can get there everything for your good night sleep, towels etc. for convenient price and quickly. 

But if you are not in rush.. check some of the products here, specially Matějovský collection - Czech high quality product, I really love it :))
