What do I need to know before retiring in Bologna?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bologna, they said...

"Before retiring in Bologna, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other parts of Italy. Expats should also research the healthcare system and the availability of medical services in the area. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, expats should research the local job market and the availability of part-time work, as this may be necessary to supplement their retirement income," remarked another expat in Bologna, Italy.

"I would tell them to try it out as it offers a bit of everything. The general population are well educated due to the strong university presence and there is a good mix of Italians from all over. Many come to study and then just stay. There is also a lot of cultural activities, many which are either free or low cost," said a member in Bologna, Italy.
