    Budget of the Capital City Bratislava for 2026, historically the lowest debt and more money for security, road and pavement repairs and public transport

    Bratislava, 6 November 2025 – City council members approved the capital city’s budget proposal for 2026 at today’s council meeting. Despite the enduring difficult situation and the impact of consolidation, next year’s budget for Bratislava counts on having the lowest debt level in the modern history of the city. The city’s leaders also adopted and presented to the council a package of measures to reduce debt even faster. The city managed to achieve this positive development in its financial condition despite the fact that it plans to increase investments in several areas, including security, public transport, road and pavement repairs, facilities for seniors and the building of parking infrastructure, so that it maintains a high standard of provision of quality public services for residents.

    We’re improving parking in Bratislava

    Bratislava, 29 October 2025 – With the growing number of automobiles in Bratislava, the demand for parking spaces is naturally increasing. The capital city is trying to improve the availability of parking through the citywide PAAS system but also by establishing Park and Ride car parks and, most recently, by building multi-storey car parks. Today the first such multi-storey car park built by the municipality was opened in Bratislava’s Karlova Ves district.

    The Živé námestie project come to life

    Bratislava, 16 October 2025 – The capital city is starting to reconstruct one of the most significant urban spaces in the city centre. The need to transform and unify a trio of Bratislava squares – namely Námestie SNP, Námestie Nežnej revolúcie and Kamenné námestie – has been discussed for a long time. This is one of the busiest and most important public spaces in Bratislava, and it currently has an undefined and disjointed character. The Živé námestie [Vivid Square] project will change this. It will create a quality space that the city centre deserves – first at Námestie SNP and Námestie Nežnej revolúcie, then followed in the next stage by Kamenné námestie.
