"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Bruges is the cost of living. The city is known for its high cost of living, which can be difficult to manage on a fixed income. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Dutch or Flemish. The city is also known for its wet and cold climate, which can be difficult to adjust to for those who are used to warmer climates. Finally, the city is quite small and can be difficult to navigate for those who are unfamiliar with the area," explained one expat living in Bruges, Belgium.
