What do I need to know before retiring in Milan?

Answer this Question

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.
