"Expats considering retiring in Bruges should be aware that the city is a popular tourist destination, so it can be quite crowded during the summer months. It is important to research the cost of living in Bruges, as it is generally more expensive than other parts of Belgium. Additionally, expats should be aware that the city is quite small, so it may not offer the same range of amenities as larger cities. It is also important to research the healthcare system in Bruges, as well as the availability of English-speaking medical professionals. Finally, expats should be aware that the weather in Bruges can be quite unpredictable, so it is important to be prepared for all types of weather," explained one expat living in Bruges, Belgium.
