    A Network of Centres for Refugees and Foreigners – Safe Point – has been established in seven Slovak towns and cities

    Bratislava, 24 June 2025 – The Union of Slovak Towns and Cities (ÚMS) today officially announced the establishment of the Network of Centres for Refugees and Foreigners – Safe Point – in seven Slovak towns and cities. The existing centres are places of support and integration for refugees and people with foreign origin in Slovakia. The main objective of the newly established “Safe Point” Centres Network is to help these centres strengthen mutual cooperation, raise standards and coordinate more effectively. At the same time, the ÚMS draws attention to the necessity to continue with sustainable state funding of the support centres, otherwise they risk not being able to pursue their mission and help those in need.

    Bratislava Cultural Summer is 50 years old and after years is returning to Partizánska lúka

    Bratislava, 16 June 2025 – Bratislava will have live performances on offer this summer despite the end of the main cultural season. Another year of the Bratislavské kultúrne leto (Bratislava Cultural Summer) is here, with city-wide celebrations of a half-century of this event. The seventy-two-day festival will be framed by the performances of large orchestras taking a musical look back at years long past in their original locations. The festival will begin, as is tradition, on 21 June and will close with a grand finale on the last weekend of August.

    Bratislava City Hall announces an additional investment in public transport: The city is starting the construction of a new tram line

    Bratislava, 5 June 2025 – The capital city today signed a contract with a contractor for the construction of the new Patrónka – Riviéra trolleybus line. Field work on its implementation will start in the coming weeks. The new trolleybus line is another major investment by the Bratislava administration into the development of sustainable public transport in the capital city. As a result, the people of Bratislava will gain an additional 3.5 kilometres of new, healthier, ecological, electric transport and, in particular, a direct trolleybus connection from Dlhé diely in Karlova Ves to Trnavské mýto.

    The complete renovation of the legendary Koch Garden has begun

    Bratislava, 3 June 2025 – From the moment the capital city acquired the Koch Garden (Kochova záhrada) in 2022, it has been working continuously on its renovation. The impassable, overgrown garden was transformed into a park with an exceptional historical atmosphere, and even though it was only briefly open to the public, it quickly became a popular and sought-after place. Now it will undergo a complete renovation, due to which this little paradise in the middle of the city will be even better and, above all, safer for visitors. The capital city, in cooperation with the Staré Mesto (Old Town) city borough, can carry out the renovation of this national cultural monument thanks to financial support under the Interreg Slovakia – Austria programme, as well as a contribution from the VUB Bank Foundation.
