Moving to Milan, Italy, presents a captivating experience for expats, blending the city's modern flair with traditional Italian living. Known as a center for fashion, technology, and business, Milan offers a distinct urban lifestyle, predominantly centered on apartment living. The real estate in Milan varies from luxurious modern constructions in sought-after districts to classic apartments in the historic center, while standalone houses are less common within the city limits. The cost of living here is on the higher side, a factor to consider when moving to Italy, especially in terms of property prices and rentals. Milan's strategic location in Northern Italy makes it an excellent base for exploring other famous cities, with efficient train services connecting it to cultural hubs like Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples. The city is well-served by three major airports, facilitating both international and European travel, particularly appealing to the expat community. While living in Milan might come with a higher price tag, the city offers a rich cultural experience. From the lively canal neighborhood known for its aperitivo culture to the myriad of coffee bars and pastry shops, Milan encapsulates an urban Italian lifestyle that's both energetic and deeply rooted in Italian traditions, making it an attractive destination for those considering moving to Italy.
