"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Tallinn is the language barrier. Although English is widely spoken, the official language of Estonia is Estonian, which can be difficult to learn for those who are not native speakers. Additionally, the cost of living in Tallinn is relatively high compared to other cities in the region, making it difficult for retirees to stretch their savings. Furthermore, the climate in Tallinn can be quite cold and snowy in the winter months, which may be difficult for those who are not used to such weather. Finally, the healthcare system in Estonia is not as developed as in other countries, making it difficult for retirees to access the medical care they need," remarked another expat in Tallinn, Estonia.
