What do I need to know before moving to Florence?

"Florence is a beautiful city with a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant atmosphere. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Florence is higher than in other parts of Italy, so it is important to budget accordingly. Expats should also be aware that the city is quite small and can be quite crowded during peak tourist season. It is important to research the different neighborhoods and find one that best suits your needs. Additionally, expats should be aware that the language spoken in Florence is Italian, so it is important to learn some basic Italian before moving. Finally, expats should be aware that the city is quite hilly, so it is important to be prepared for some steep climbs," commented one expat who made the move to Florence, Italy.

"Join the expat groups online and read or connect with anyone who has lived in the area you choose. I visited Italy two years prior to find the city that suited my needs and personality. You have to narrow down what is important to you, city or country life. Also find a place you can easily catch a train from and has bus service," remarked another expat in Florence, Italy.
