"Before retiring in Breda, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of the country. Additionally, the city is known for its vibrant nightlife and cultural attractions, so it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations. Expats should also research the local healthcare system and make sure they have adequate health insurance coverage.
