What do I need to know before retiring in Bergamo?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bergamo, they said...
"Before retiring in Bergamo, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than the national average. They should also research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken in Bergamo. It is also important to research the local culture and customs, as well as the climate and weather patterns. Finally, expats should consider the availability of transportation, as Bergamo is not well-connected to other cities," remarked another expat who made the move to Bergamo, Italy.
