What do I need to know before retiring in Milan?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Milan, they said...
"Before retiring in Milan, it's crucial to understand the cost of living, which is higher than in many other Italian cities, particularly for housing and healthcare. Ensure you have adequate financial resources or pension to cover these costs. Also, try visiting the city beforehand to explore neighborhoods and amenities," wrote Brian Viola from Italian For A While.

"Before retiring in Milan, you should become familiar with the language, as most locals do not speak English. You will also need to ensure you are familiar with Italian tax laws and other regulations that may apply to foreign residents. Additionally, it is important to familiarize yourself with the cost of living in Milan and to ensure you have a reliable source of income. You should also research the medical care available, as well as explore the different types of retirement housing options. Lastly, you should familiarize yourself with the cultural and entertainment options available in the city, in order to make the most of your retirement," wrote a member who made the move to Milan, Italy.
