what do you consider to be the best place to live in europe? and can you give reasons why? i am curious
It's so difficult to decide. Europe is a big continent with lots of amazing and individual countries.
Cheapest is probably anywhere in Easten Europe... so Poland/Czech Republic and beyond. Scandinavia is mighty expensive, as is Switzerland, Austria and the UK. As for old people... I know that most of our old people (Brits) tend to go to Spain or Greece. Safest, I've no idea. I believe Europe is a reasonably safe continent anywhere. I'm guessing the EU countries will be a lot safer as they have common standards to uphold.
Alot of people in Ireland and Britain like to retire in Spain. I'm not sure this would be my thing. I love France. Nice countryside, nice food, nice wine, nice people. I'd like to retire in the countryside there.
