What do I need to know about living in Rimini?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Rimini, they said:
"Expats considering retirement in Rimini, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand that the cost of living can be quite high, especially when compared to other parts of Italy. This is particularly true for housing, which can be expensive in this popular coastal city. They should also be aware that while many locals speak English, it is not as widely spoken as in larger cities like Rome or Milan, so learning some Italian would be beneficial. Healthcare in Italy is generally of a high standard, but it's important to ensure you have adequate health insurance coverage. Rimini has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, which may be a significant change for those from colder climates. The city is known for its vibrant nightlife and social scene, which may not suit those looking for a quiet retirement. Public transportation is reliable and extensive, but owning a car can be useful for exploring the surrounding region. Finally, it's important to understand the Italian tax system, as Italy has a worldwide taxation policy, which means that even if you live in Italy, you may still be liable for taxes in your home country. It's recommended to seek advice from a financial advisor or tax consultant before making the move," remarked one expat who made the move to Rimini.
