And prepare yourself…to move to…a new lifestyle.
The best small towns in Europe for those looking to enjoy a quiet life.
1 — Portimao or Faro, Algarve. Portugal.
Portimao is the second biggest city in the Algarve region. And the whole Algarve area is worth visiting and seeing by yourself.
The city was a fishing and shipbuilding center and also a tourist area famous for its beaches. It has sun year round and life is very affordable and laid back.
Portimao has a good internet, which allows you to run an online business very easily.
The problem is that you have to fly with budget airlines like Ryanair to get in and out of the city.
2 — Plovdiv, Bulgaria
A small town in Europe that includes both history and culture. It’s much quieter than the capital Sofia.
While not at the top of the list for most people, those in the know think this is a hidden gem. Digital nomads from around the world have flocked here in droves because of its easy-going life.
In Plovdiv, not only will you be within the EU, but it’s far freer, open, and tax-friendly. It also doesn’t have the attitude problem that you would otherwise see in some European countries where they pretend to be too proud to speak English.
English is widely spoken in the country. And if you can get citizenship via investment here, if you want.
The distances in the city center are quite walkable.
You’re going to live with Roman ruins and beautiful nature.
3 — Novi Sad, Serbia
Serbia is a country with a lot of developmental potential, and in the outskirts of Europe.
The capital city of Belgrade has a great vibe, but Novi Sad is a great city of Serbia.
During the summer, it’s an idyllic place to live. It feels as if a garden has been converted into a city. Beautiful nature surrounds every street.
It’s as cheap as it gets for living in Europe. You can find great numbers of bars and cafes.
There are few tourists overall and it truly still feels like traditional Eastern Europe without the Kitsch that you would see in other countries.
Serbia offers a second residency if you purchase any kind of real estate.
Perhaps it’s not the most dynamic of towns, but it’s beautiful with easy access to Belgrade.
4— Tivat, Montenegro
If you want the beauty of Monaco but hope to keep a lower profile, then this town is ideal for you. It has everything you could ever want, including a yacht club. It has around 14,000 people.
Tivat is surrounded by beautiful mountains with sand swept beaches.
Montenegro is like being in the EU but it is still outside of its direct sphere of influence.
The country is in a state of change that currently gives it all the benefits of being within the EU without the negatives, like bureaucratic overreach.
It uses the Euro, so it’s not one of the cheapest places in Europe, or the Balkans.
It’s very business friendly, and it is among the best places to live in Europe.
You can qualify for citizenship by investing in real estate in Montenegro.
5 — Andorra La Vella, Andorra
It’s between France and Spain. And it has a maximum 10% income tax rate.
Andorra has a desirable location, but an expensive and difficult immigration process.
Barcelona is in under three hours, and going north, you’ll find the South of France.
And Andorra has a low VAT of 4.5%, and people from all over Spain and France go there to shop.
You can live in the middle of the EU, but without the high taxes and needless bureaucracy.
If I wanted to go to Europe, that is where you would go. If you wanted to live somewhere else, you would go somewhere else.
The only question is,
Where do you want to go?
There are enormous benefits of being surrounded by so many people from different backgrounds.
Thank you for your time and stay safe.
