"The most rewarding aspects of retiring in Norway are the endless outdoor activities available to retirees. From skiing or snowboarding in the majestic mountain ranges, to fishing and kayaking through the clear mountain lakes, retirees can feel an incredible sense of freedom. Another great benefit is the high quality social security and healthcare that Norway provides to its citizens. Seniors receive government benefits for their retirement, including a pension and allowance for elderly care services. Norway also has a low crime rate, making it a safe environment for retirees. Lastly, the stunning coastal towns, cities, and landscapes offer something for everyone, from breathtaking views to unique cultural experiences," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Norway.
