Please, Tallinn with two n letters! Tallin was a bizarre, Soviet Russian version of the name of Estonian capital.

Please add timestamps to each section in the videos.

Yep. It's easy to do.

Keep in mind that 2022-2023 Inflation decimated the EU cities/countries (food, rental costs, transportation - exception Germany) . Multiply x2 to get the real (not official) living cost increases. $1,600/mo is unrealistic. Budget at least > $2000-$2500. As an expat, budget health care insurance and some extras - which locals do not incur. Inflation rates (official) in 2023: Country Last Previous Reference Unit Turkey 43.68 50.51 Apr/23 % Hungary 24 25.2 Apr/23 % Moldova 18.1 22 Apr/23 % Ukraine 17.9 21.3 Apr/23 % Latvia 15.1 17.3 Apr/23 % Serbia 15.1 16.2 Apr/23 % Poland 14.7 16.1 Apr/23 % Lithuania 14.5 16.6 Apr/23 % Slovakia 13.8 14.8 Apr/23 % Estonia 13.5 15.3 Apr/23 % Macedonia 13 14.7 Apr/23 % Czech Republic 12.7 15 Apr/23 % Bulgaria 11.6 14 Apr/23 % Romania 11.23 14.53 Apr/23 % Sweden 10.5 10.6 Apr/23 % Bosnia and Herzegovina 10.3 12.9 Mar/23 % United Kingdom 10.1 10.4 Mar/23 % Iceland 9.9 9.8 Apr/23 % Austria 9.7 9.2 Apr/23 % Slovenia 9.4 10.5 Apr/23 % Croatia 8.9 10.7 Apr/23 % Montenegro 8.6 10.5 Apr/23 % European Union 8.3 9.9 Mar/23 % Faroe Islands 8.3 10.1 Mar/23 % Italy 8.2 7.6 Apr/23 % Finland 7.9 7.9 Apr/23 % Germany 7.2 7.4 Apr/23 % Ireland 7.2 7.7 Apr/23 % Euro Area 7 6.9 Apr/23 % Malta 6.4 7.1 Apr/23 % Norway 6.4 6.5 Apr/23 % Kosovo 6.3 7.6 Apr/23 % France 5.9 5.7 Apr/23 %

Yes, if you are American (from outside the EU), and not working legally. Otherwise you are entitled to same health insurance as local people do. There is basically no need for buying medical insurance in Europe in the same sense as it is in the United States. Things are different, if you are not working.

Also would be very helpful to include the info about long-term visa policy for each suggested country - no point getting excited about an attractive country if the visa process is nearly impossible for people outside EU…

[@Sundayjean]

It would be lovely if there was a simple map with a country cut out city pin for each location.

[@shea5702]

Great info, thank you so much!

Thanks for great info. I am trying to find a place to retire for past several years. Looking in Europe or Argentina. I live in Toronto, Canada. You made my job easy. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ If you please make another video about cities under 200 000 population. I like quiet cities with warm climate. Thanks again

Surprised not so see any city from Portugal in the list.

[@urbanotocci5519]

@apteka Which sky high taxes? Have you made a research on Eurostat on that or you just repeat what you have read on newspapers?

[@urbanotocci5519]

Rents Portugal in the last years became really expensive because of the success of the govenament policies to attract digital nomads.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Probably Porto and Lisbon are too big, and the others too small for this list

[@RelaxingMoods]

Great video, thanks for this.

[@johnkulikowski]

But for most of these EU countries, Americans can only stay for 90 days. Schengen Visa.

[@b6983832]

Resident permits are available if you qualify. In many countries, especially in the former Eastern European counties of the EU, there are exemptions from the strict immigration policies for US citizens, if you can afford your living expenses.

[@Mordadigsjalv]

None of those cities need more americans who wont pay tax and skyrocket the prices, please stay home guys 🙏🏻

[@perrykomick9478]

😂...nahhhh...we coming with bags of money...

[@roberteigen4499]

you never mention health care -- insurance, etc. even young people can get sick

[@b6983832]

It is not the United States. Most of the European countries have systems where people living in these countries have a mandatory health insurance. If you are working in these places, or retired after eork in Europe. you will qualify for this insurance, even if you are not a citizen of an EU country. This is mostly paid with the taxes you pay from your income. In general, health care in most member states of the EU is good quality.

[@cocoaorange1]

Are you being cynical, or are the diverse?

[@SenorJuan2023]

[@antoinemozart243]

Cheapest city in Europe by far : Bakmut , Ukraine ( soon Russian federation).... Accommodation nearly free. Restaurants are closed. Bring your own food. 😂😂😂

[@hrussell9677]

But who wants to live in any of these places?

[@shea5702]

I would!

[@tonyclemens4213]

Been to most of these places and definitely livable.

[@johnkulikowski]

I do, you simply don’t know.

[@angie3072]

You did not mention and show the main part of Novi Sad: Petrovaradin Fortress. Your comments are a joke mostly
