Europe continues to be one of the favoured continents for expats across the UK.

From affordable living, high-quality healthcare, and a range of cultures and experiences, the right country can offer retirees a comfortable and fulfilling next chapter.

Funeral Guide has ranked the top 10 European countries based on data on three essential factors: cost of living, crime rate, and the quality of healthcare.

“Retirement should be about peace of mind, not just pensions,” says a spokesperson from Funeral Guide.

“These countries offer not only financial and medical security, but also the lifestyle and dignity everyone deserves in later life.”

10. Hungary

Hungary enters the list at number ten with one of the lowest costs of living in Europe, a perfect choice for those hoping to stretch their pensions further.

However, it ranks slightly lower due to a higher crime rate and moderate healthcare standards.

That said, cities like Budapest, the capital, offer rich cultural experiences and accessible public transport, making them attractive for retirees seeking a vibrant lifestyle on a budget.

9. Iceland

Iceland offers stunning natural beauty, exceptionally low crime, and a peaceful environment, which are all major draws for retirees looking for a change in pace.

Despite its high cost of living, the healthcare system is strong, and the quality of life is ideal for those looking to spend their best years in tranquillity and scenic adventures.

8. Switzerland

To many, Switzerland represents the gold standard of European living.

Although the cost of living is expensive, the country offers some of the best healthcare services in the world, paired with breathtaking scenery and infrastructure.

Cities like Zurich and Geneva provide a cosmopolitan feel, while towns like Lucerne and Montreux offer lakeside serenity and mountain views.

Its emphasis on wellness creates the perfect environment for those looking to enjoy their golden years in comfort.

7. Austria

Austria boasts music, art, and architecture, especially in the capital, Vienna, where retirees can enjoy classical concerts in historic venues.

The Austrian healthcare system is comprehensive and well-rated, and the public transport system is clean and accessible, even in smaller towns.

Austria offers the elegance of Western Europe without the excessive price tag, making it ideal for those who value tradition and ease of living.

6. Croatia

Croatia has risen steadily in popularity thanks to its Mediterranean coastline, laid-back atmosphere, and affordability.

Retirees are drawn to its sunny weather, historic towns, and friendly locals.

With a growing expat population and improving healthcare services, Croatia offers both comfort and adventure for those seeking a coastal retirement without Western Europe’s price tag.

5. Portugal

Portugal is a popular retirement hotspot known for its sunny climate, affordable living, and culture.

Cities like Lisbon and Porto buzz with life, while coastal towns such as Lagos and Cascais offer peace and ocean views.

Healthcare is strong, and the local pace of life, combined with a low cost of living, makes Portugal an ideal retreat for those looking to spend their retirement in the sun.

4. Finland

Finland’s appeal lies in its serene landscapes, low crime, and world-class social services.

With one of the highest healthcare scores in Europe, retirees can expect quality care and clean, efficient infrastructure.

Though winters are long, the quiet beauty of Finnish lakes and forests, along with the country’s emphasis on wellbeing, offers a unique retirement experience.

3. Czech Republic

Affordable and centrally located, the Czech Republic blends a rich history with a high standard of living.

Prague remains a top choice for retirees thanks to its walkability, culture, access to excellent healthcare, and, of course, the beer!

Outside the capital, smaller cities offer even more affordability, making this country a top contender for those seeking balance and charm.

2. Slovenia

Slovenia is one of Europe’s most underrated retirement destinations.

With beautiful lakes, clean air, and a reputation for safety, it offers a peaceful lifestyle that’s still within easy reach of larger European nations and cities.

Slovenia’s healthcare is reliable, and the cost of living remains moderate, making it ideal for retirees who want both calm and convenience.

1. Denmark

Denmark tops the list, a country celebrated for its quality of life, healthcare system, and social stability.

While it may not be the cheapest option, Denmark more than makes up for it with a strong welfare system, low crime, and an emphasis on work-life balance that extends into retirement.

Clean design, sustainable living, and a deep sense of community make Denmark a truly fulfilling place to spend one’s later years.
