What do I need to know before retiring in Florence?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Florence, they said...
"Before retiring in Florence, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other parts of the country. Expats should also research the healthcare system and the availability of medical services in the area. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. It is also important to research the local job market and the availability of housing, as well as the cost of living in the area. Finally, expats should be aware of the local laws and regulations, and ensure that they are compliant with them," commented one expat who made the move to Florence, Italy.
