All the important places in Ostrava
Words are not enough for me to express my gratitude to the OEC team. They always helped me when it comes to solving any procedure or they have given me the best recommendations in case of doubts to proceed. With respect to Ostrava, it is a very friendly, safe city, with good places to enjoy nature, eating and shoping. I am very happy to live here since the end of 2019.

It's a blessing to have a home away from home in Ostrava. There is no love more sincere than the love of food. And my food connected me with all the lovely people.

Since first stepping into Ostrava back in 2008, it was clear that the locals were very family orientated. People love the great outdoors and of course their beer. But it is really only the last 7 years of me settling here with my own family home, that I've seen all the modernisation with many international schools and corporations bringing in people from around the world to join the growing community, there are even many coffee shops instead of "herna" bars. Ostrava is changing fast and mostly for the better.
