Where should I setup a bank account in Rapallo?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Rapallo what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Rapallo, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand that the cost of living can be high, especially when compared to other parts of Italy. This is due to Rapallo's popularity as a tourist destination and its location on the Italian Riviera. They should also be prepared for the language barrier. While English is spoken in many tourist areas, it is less common in residential areas, so learning some Italian would be beneficial. Healthcare in Italy is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance. Italy has a reciprocal healthcare agreement with many countries, but it's important to check the specifics for your home country. The climate in Rapallo is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters. This can be a draw for many retirees, but it's worth considering how well you cope with heat. Italian culture places a strong emphasis on family and food. Expats should be prepared to embrace this, as well as the slower pace of life that is typical in Italy. Rapallo is a safe city with a low crime rate, but like anywhere, it's important to take basic precautions to protect yourself and your property. Finally, it's worth noting that while Rapallo is a beautiful and popular place to live, it can get crowded during the peak tourist season. This can lead to increased prices and crowded beaches and restaurants," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rapallo, Italy.
