What are the pros and cons of living in Slovakia?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Slovakia responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Slovakia appreciate the country's low cost of living, which allows them to stretch their budget further. They also enjoy the country's stunning natural beauty, with its rolling hills, lush forests, and picturesque mountain ranges. Additionally, Slovakia is known for its friendly people and vibrant culture, which makes it a great place to live and work. On the downside, expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier to be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken in Slovakia. Additionally, the country's infrastructure is not as developed as in other parts of Europe, which can make it difficult to access certain services," said one in Slovakia.
