Slovakia
Slovakia's capital city, Bratislava, is the only capital in the world that lies on the borders of two other independent countries. It sits between Austria and Hungary and is just 60 kilometers away from Vienna. Both are located along the Danube River, making for easy access to tourists.
Overall Affordability Compared to the United States
Slovakia has a vast cultural identity and has had much economic success since it ceded from Czechoslovakia in 1993. There are ski towns, traditional villages, castles, and mountains for tourists to explore. Rent is 83% cheaper here than in the United States.
