Where should I setup a bank account in Venice?
We asked expats in Venice what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Before retiring in Venice, expats should know that the city is one of the most expensive in Italy, with high costs of living, especially in terms of housing and dining. They should also be aware that Venice is a popular tourist destination, which can make the city crowded and noisy, particularly during peak tourist season. Expats should understand that Venice is built on water, which means that transportation is primarily by boat, including public transportation, which may be a significant adjustment. They should also be prepared for the possibility of flooding, which is a common occurrence in Venice. Expats should know that while many Venetians speak English, particularly in the tourism industry, it is beneficial to learn some Italian, both for practical purposes and to integrate into the local community. Healthcare in Italy is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance coverage. Venice has a rich history and culture, and expats should take the time to learn about and appreciate the local customs and traditions. Finally, expats should be aware that while Venice is a beautiful and unique city, it may not offer all the amenities and conveniences of a larger city, and they should consider their lifestyle and personal needs before deciding to retire there," said a member in Venice, Italy.
